Built from what Official MCP Registry declares.
claude mcp add --env "VLC_HTTP_PASSWORD=<YOUR_VLC_HTTP_PASSWORD>" --transport stdio vlc-mcp -- npx -y vlc-mcp-server[mcp_servers.vlc-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "vlc-mcp-server"]
[mcp_servers.vlc-mcp.env]
VLC_HTTP_PASSWORD = "<YOUR_VLC_HTTP_PASSWORD>"{
"mcpServers": {
"vlc-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"vlc-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"VLC_HTTP_PASSWORD": "<YOUR_VLC_HTTP_PASSWORD>"
}

}Replace the values in angle brackets with your own. We show the names of the settings, never values.
Optional settings it also lists: VLC_BASE_URL, VLC_HTTP_TIMEOUT_MS.

Found by meaning, not by shared code or a shared repository: similar plugins stay separate products, and this is not a review or a recommendation.
Is this your plugin?
Add it to your projects and prove you maintain it with a file in its repository, a file on your domain or a DNS record. You get alerts when a marketplace lists it, drops it, changes its verified mark or what it asks for, and its remote endpoint goes on monitoring as a web service.
Data comes from the Official MCP Registry (registry.modelcontextprotocol.io), CC0 1.0. Figures come from our own regular passes over the marketplaces, last read on . We publish no contact details for plugin publishers.
