Here's a Youtube video showing how it works: https://youtu.be/ctV8TUvcQuI

This shows me telling the Claude AI LLM to lookup a Youtube video and play it on my Roku.

This is my claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "triggercmd": {
      "command": "C:\\tools\\triggercmd-mcp-windows-amd64.exe"
    },
    "youtube": {
            "command": "C:\\Users\\russe\\AppData\\Local\\Microsoft\\WindowsApps\\python.exe",
            "args": [
                "-m", "uv", "run", "--directory", 
                "C:\\tools\\mcp\\youtube-mcp", 
                "youtube_server.py"
            ],
            "env": {
                "YOUTUBE_API_KEY": "(get your own)"
            }
    }
  }
}

This is my TRIGGERcmd command from commands.json:

 {
  "trigger": "Youtube Upstairs Roku",
  "command": "c:\\tools\\yt-upstairs-roku.bat",
  "offCommand": "",
  "ground": "foreground",
  "voice": "",
  "voiceReply": "",
  "allowParams": "true",
  "mcpToolDescription": "Shows a specific video on my upstairs Roku.  The parameter specifies the video by its Youtube video ID. "
 }

This is my yt-upstairs-roku.bat file:

curl -v -XPOST "http://192.168.1.12:8060/launch/837?contentId=%1"

192.168.86.127 is the IP of my upstairs Roku.
837 is the ID of the Youtube app on Roku.
%1 is a placeholder for the parameter (the Youtube video ID).
