The impressBox MCP server: run your screens from Claude and other AI assistants

The impressBox MCP server lets Claude and other MCP-compatible AI clients work with your digital signage network. On 24 September 2026 the production server has 114 tools.

What MCP is

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external tools. A signage platform with an MCP server can be operated from the AI assistant a team already uses, without a separate integration.

What the tools cover

• Devices and diagnostics: status, logs, screenshots, state and action history, reboot, display on and off, schedules, volume, remote keys, network, Wi-Fi and DHCP configuration, ping, traceroute, reachability and time-sync checks, updates and app installs, tags.
• Content and templates: uploads, remote URLs, YouTube, Power BI and Canva content, two-column layouts, HTML templates (create, edit code, edit parameters, duplicate), AI descriptions and title suggestions, previews, categories, date and time restrictions.
• Playlists and publishing: create and copy playlists, add and remove items, publish now or on a schedule, verify that screens picked up the publication, playlist statistics.
• Organization: accounts, search across accounts, user settings, access provisioning, trash and restore.

Safety

The connector is off by default. It works only after you add it to your AI client and sign in with your impressBox account (OAuth 2.0), and it has the permissions of your account role. The server includes an ask_user tool, so the assistant asks you to confirm before sensitive actions. How data flows to your AI provider is described in section 12 of the privacy policy.

How to connect

The server address is https://m.impressbox.eu/mcp. In Claude (Desktop, web or mobile), open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the address, leave Client ID and Client Secret empty, click Connect and sign in with your impressBox account. Other MCP-compatible clients use the same address.

Examples

• "Which screens in the Vilnius stores are offline right now, and why?"
• "Take a screenshot of every screen tagged 'entrance'."
• "Add the new promo video to the 'Weekend' playlist and publish it on Friday at 18:00."

Not using an AI client?

The same work is available through the impressBox AI Agent in the dashboard chat, on WhatsApp and in Slack.
