Mpv Player

npm version npm downloads

中文文档

Control mpv media player through AI conversation. Play music and video, manage playlists — all via natural language.

Works with opencode and any MCP-compatible AI tool.

mcp-mpv-player MCP server

Installation

Make sure Node.js is installed, then run:

npx mcp-mpv-player

The setup wizard will automatically:

• Detect or install mpv
• Locate your opencode config file
• Register the MCP tool

Restart opencode when done.

Usage Examples

Just talk to your AI naturally:

Play D:/Music/song.mp3
Pause
Next track
Skip forward 30 seconds
Jump to 2 minutes 30 seconds
Set volume to 80
Create a playlist called "chill" with D:/Music/a.mp3 and D:/Music/b.mp3
Play the "chill" playlist
Shuffle

How It Works

mpv exposes a JSON IPC interface via a Windows Named Pipe (\\.\pipe\mpv-ipc). This tool runs as an MCP server, receives commands from the AI, and forwards them to mpv.

When player_play is called and mpv is not running, it is launched automatically with the IPC flag and stays running in the background between tracks.
