CueScope MCP
Read-first production intelligence for workflows compatible with vMix.
CueScope helps producers, technical directors, and operators use AI assistants to inspect live-production state, explain inputs and titles, diagnose routing risks, review saved presets and scripts, and generate automation plans before anything changes. Available now on npm as @greenhouselabs/cuescope-mcp@1.0.2.

Release
v1.0.2
Latest release includes richer live inspection and preset metadata review.
v1.0.2 update
Sharper inspection before operators make changes
The latest release focuses on production confidence: more useful live input inspection, richer saved preset metadata, and more targeted review of title, trigger, and script references.
Live-first input inspection
Prioritizes the running show so producers, technical directors, and operators can inspect real inputs before leaning on saved preset assumptions.
Saved GT/title countdown metadata parsing
Surfaces saved graphics and title countdown metadata so review notes can include timing behavior operators need to verify.
Title data-source binding detection
Detects title field bindings to data sources, helping teams trace where on-air text may be populated from before showtime.
Targeted trigger/script reference summaries
Summarizes nearby trigger and script references for the requested input so automation risks are easier to review before control is enabled.
What it does
Understand the show before changing the show
CueScope connects AI assistants to live show state and curated production knowledge so operators can ask better questions before a rehearsal, stream, recording, or client show.
Inspect Live Show State
Read live show state, inputs, active and preview paths, overlays, tally, title fields, and production relationships before making recommendations.
Explain Inputs And Titles
Translate inputs, title fields, countdown metadata, and data-source bindings into operator language with clear assumptions.
Diagnose Audio And Routing
Review buses, mutes, solo state, vMix Call patterns, route choices, output readiness, and mix-minus risks.
Review Saved .vmix Presets
Inspect saved presets for scripts, triggers, audio evidence, redacted metadata, and differences from the running show.
Generate Reviewable Plans
Produce script reviews, targeted trigger summaries, and ordered API plans using actual references without executing them in Review Mode.
Safety model
Review first. Control only by explicit opt-in.
CueScope starts in Review Mode, exposing 18 review-only tools for inspection, diagnosis, validation, and planning. Safer control tools require VMIX_CONTROL_MODE=true, and high-impact actions such as scripts, batch commands, recording, streaming, presets, output routing, destructive input changes, show-building, and replay recording require VMIX_HIGH_IMPACT=true as a second gate.
Default
Review Mode
Exposes 18 review-only tools to read state, explain setup, diagnose risks, validate scripts, and produce checklists or automation plans. It does not mutate vMix.
Explicit opt-in
Control Mode
Unlocks gated control tools only when the operator sets VMIX_CONTROL_MODE=true in the MCP client environment.
Second gate
High-Impact Control
Requires VMIX_CONTROL_MODE=true and VMIX_HIGH_IMPACT=true for scripts, batch commands, recording, streaming, presets, output routing, destructive input changes, show-building, and replay recording.

Install CueScope
CueScope installs as an MCP package from npm as @greenhouselabs/cuescope-mcp. Version 1.0.2 is live. Start with Review Mode, then enable control only after the read-only setup is working.
Package
@greenhouselabs/cuescope-mcp
Binary
cuescope-mcp
Version
1.0.2
Runtime
Node.js 20+
Default Mode
Review Mode
Global install
npm install -g @greenhouselabs/cuescope-mcpMCP client setups can also run the published package with npx, as shown in the examples.
Control Mode Safety
Control Mode is not a first-run step. Only enable VMIX_CONTROL_MODE=true after Review Mode is working. High-Impact Control requires both VMIX_CONTROL_MODE=true and VMIX_HIGH_IMPACT=true.
Requirements
First-run setup starts in Review Mode.
vMix Web Controller: vMix running, Web Controller enabled, default port 8088.
API reachability: MCP host can reach the vMix Web Controller API on the configured host and port.
MCP client: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex.
First-run boundary: Trusted local/network use only; leave VMIX_CONTROL_MODE unset.
vMix Web Controller is unauthenticated. Do not expose it to the public internet.
Claude Desktop / JSON
Use this shape for MCP clients that read a server configuration file.

Example workflows
Useful before rehearsal, before go-live, and after something feels off
CueScope is strongest when a user asks for inspection, explanation, diagnosis, or a reviewable plan. It can help a team turn a messy vMix setup into a checklist the operator can trust.
Pre-show review
Ask CueScope to explain the current preset, identify active and preview paths, summarize graphics and audio state, and call out anything worth checking before rehearsal.
Audio and mix-minus diagnosis
Review buses, mute state, solo state, vMix Call routing, caller returns, and feedback risks before a remote guest hears the wrong mix.
Output readiness
Separate what vMix state can prove from what still needs operator verification: stream destination, recording path, audio feed, external output, and downstream hardware.
Script review
Generate or validate VB.NET scripts with stable input references, syntax checks, loop-safety warnings, assumptions, and rehearsal notes.
Saved preset audit
Review a saved .vmix file for scripts, triggers, audio evidence, and drift from the running show without writing to the preset.
Automation planning
Produce ordered vMix API plans and operator checklists before enabling any direct control surface.
Built for
Production people who need clarity under pressure
CueScope is for operators and builders who already know vMix is powerful, but want an AI assistant that can read the show, respect the control boundary, and produce reviewable next steps.
Live-production operators
Technical directors
vMix power users
Streaming teams
Broadcast engineers
AI-assisted production builders

FAQ
Practical answers for launch
Is CueScope open source?
No. CueScope is source-available under the CueScope Source-Available License. Greenhouse Ventures LLC is the legal owner and licensor, and Greenhouse Labs is the public brand.
Does it control vMix?
Not by default. Review Mode is the default and does not mutate vMix. Direct control requires VMIX_CONTROL_MODE=true, and high-impact actions require VMIX_HIGH_IMPACT=true as a second gate.
Does it expose secrets?
CueScope is designed to redact sensitive values from preset and log-derived output, including stream keys, tokens, passwords, and vMix Call secrets. Operators should still avoid exposing vMix Web Controller to the public internet and should review any shared logs or presets carefully.
Is this affiliated with vMix?
No. CueScope is independent software from Greenhouse Labs and Greenhouse Ventures LLC. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by vMix or StudioCoast Pty Ltd.
