Alta Video MCP connection
This page last updated: Thursday August 27, 2026.
The Alta Video Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connects AI-powered code editors directly to the Alta Video API documentation, delivering instant answers on how to build and complete tasks using the API.
This MCP server is an informational tool for API documentation, not an operational link to Alta Video. It can answer "how-to" questions, but it cannot execute tasks like running reports, adding users, or changing settings.
Adding a connector
Consult the AI tool documentation on how to add a connector and complete the configuration.
The required URL for the connection:
- https://docs-mcp.video.alta.avigilon.com
Testing your MCP configuration
Once you have finished the configuration, follow these steps to verify that your MCP server connection is working:
- Open your AI editor: Launch your preferred environment.
- Start a new chat: Initiate a fresh conversation with the AI assistant.
- Inquire about Alta Video: Use the sample prompts below to test the assistant’s ability to retrieve and process data.
