## What it does

This server connects AI assistants to the LiveReacting video engine via remote HTTP at `https://mcp.livereacting.com/mcp`. Tools prefixed with `livereacting_` handle broadcast destinations, scene layouts, and live transmission controls across channels like YouTube, Twitch, or RTMP endpoints.

The model can build scenes containing video playlists, change layers dynamically, and switch active views while a stream is ongoing. It also schedules future broadcasts and pushes editor adjustments to running streams.

Free accounts fail with a `403 API_ACCESS_REQUIRES_PAID_PLAN` error: an active paid subscription is required to generate working API keys. The token begins with `lr_`. Store it in the `LIVEREACTING_API_KEY` environment variable.
