Prerequisites

Go 1.25.5+ - Download
OBS Studio 28+ - Includes built-in WebSocket server
Git - For version control

Installation

Option 1: Install with Go (Recommended)

go install github.com/ironystock/agentic-obs@latest

This installs the agentic-obs binary to your $GOPATH/bin directory.

Option 2: Build from Source

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/ironystock/agentic-obs.git
cd agentic-obs

# Build with Make (recommended - includes version info)
make build

# Or build directly with Go
go build -o agentic-obs .

# Verify the build
./agentic-obs --version

For cross-platform builds, release automation, and advanced build options, see docs/BUILD.md.

Configure OBS Studio

Open OBS Studio
Go to Tools → WebSocket Server Settings
Enable the WebSocket server (default port: 4455)
Set a password (optional but recommended)
Note your connection details

Usage

Running the Server

# MCP server mode (default) - if installed via go install
agentic-obs

# TUI dashboard mode - terminal interface for monitoring
agentic-obs --tui
agentic-obs -t

# Or run directly from source
go run main.go
go run main.go --tui

# Or use a built binary
./agentic-obs

TUI Dashboard

The TUI dashboard provides a terminal-based interface with four views:

Status: OBS connection status, server info, statistics
Config: Current configuration settings
History: Action history log with scrolling
Docs: Embedded documentation with terminal rendering

Navigate with 1/2/3/4 keys or Tab, press q to quit.

On first run, the server will:

Auto-detect OBS on localhost:4455
Prompt for connection details if auto-detection fails
Save successful configuration to SQLite

Connecting to MCP Clients

This server uses stdio transport. Configure your MCP client to execute the agentic-obs command.

Example Claude Desktop configuration (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "obs": {
      "command": "agentic-obs"
    }
  }
}

Note: If you built from source or the binary isn't in your PATH, use the full path:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "obs": {
      "command": "/full/path/to/agentic-obs"
    }
  }
}
