• Creating, updating, and deleting virtual events
• Managing event sessions and resources
• Accessing event templates and timezone information

Features

Tools

• list-events: Retrieve a list of available events with filtering and pagination
• update-event: Modify existing event properties
• delete-event: Remove an event and its resources
• create-event-session: Add a new session to an existing event
• list-event-sessions: Get all sessions for a specific event

Resources

• events: Access information about specific Kaltura events
• preset-templates: Browse available preset templates for event creation

Prerequisites

• Node.js 22+
• Access to Kaltura Event Platform APIs
• Valid Kaltura Session (KS) for authentication

📦 Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/kaltura/mcp-events.git
cd mcp-events
npm install

⚙️ Configuration & Running

Configuration your agent

You can configure you agent to use the Kaltura Events MCP server by adding a new tool configuration.

This differs depending on the agent you use, so Claude Code, VS Code Copilot, etc. would have different ways to add the MCP server.

• JSON config example (standart should work for most agents):

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "Kaltura Events API": {
        "transport": "stdio",
        "command": "node",
        "args": [
          "/home/john-doe/mcp-events/dist/index.js"
        ],
        "env": {
          "KALTURA_ENV": "NVP",
          "KALTURA_KS": "YOUR-KALTURA-SECRET_HERE" // Should be a user KS
        }
      }
    }
  }
  

🛠️ Helpful Examples for Different Agents

💻 VS Code Copilot | Adding the MCP Config

1️⃣ Create or Locate mcp.json

You can configure MCP at either the user or workspace level:

• User-level configuration
  Create or locate a mcp.json file (with the JSON config above) in your user settings directory:

  • 🐧 Linux/macOS: ~/.vscode/mcp.json
  • 🪟 Windows: %APPDATA%\Code\User\mcp.json

• Workspace-level configuration
  For project-specific settings, create a .vscode folder in your project's root directory, then add a mcp.json file (with the JSON config above) inside it:

  • 📁 Example: your_project/.vscode/mcp.json

🤖 Claude Code | Adding the MCP Config

• Add an MCP config:

  claude mcp add-json kaltura-events '{"transport":"stdio","command":"node","args":["~/dev/mcp-events/dist/index.js"],"env":{"KALTURA_ENV":"NVP","KALTURA_KS":"YOUR-KALTURA-SECRET"}}'

🌱 Environment Configuration

These are the environment variables (can be set via your terminal or directly in the agent config):

• KALTURA_ENV: The environment to use

  • NVP (default)
  • EU
  • DE

• KS: Your Kaltura Session key containing a user

🌍 API Environments

The MCP server supports multiple Kaltura API environments (regions):

• NVP (Production): Default environment
• EU: European region deployment (IRP)
• DE: German region deployment (FRP)

For custom environment URLs, use these environment variables:

• KALTURA_PUBLIC_API
