List cameras within a bounding box — the same query the VanCam map runs on pan/zoom.
get_cameras_by_radius
Get cameras within a radius of a point.
get_cameras_along_route
Get cameras along a straight-line corridor between two points.
get_nearest_cameras
Get the closest cameras to a point.
get_camera_image
Fetch a camera's live frame by asset ID, returned as image data in the tool result (not just a URL — the image endpoint requires an API key header that most MCP clients can't attach themselves).
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
