Epiphan Opens Write Access to MCP Server for Pearl Encoders
Palo Alto – October 21, 2026 -- Epiphan Video has released read and write access for Epiphan MCP, its hosted Model Context Protocol server for Epiphan Edge. AV and IT teams can now direct Pearl encoders through Claude or ChatGPT, with the user approving each action before it runs.
Epiphan MCP write access covers recording, streaming, scheduling and firmware
Teams can query device status, storage, recording state and schedules in plain language, then act on the answer in the same conversation. Write access lets them start, stop, pause and resume recording on one channel or many. They can also create stream destinations and start or stop streaming.
Scheduled events in Epiphan CMS can be created, extended, paused and resumed. A saved configuration preset can be applied to a group of devices, and devices can be rebooted or have firmware updated.
