Uscreen MCP

Uscreen MCP connects your preferred AI agent directly to your Uscreen business

Uscreen MCP is a new way to interact with your business using AI. Instead of clicking through your admin panel, you'll be able to ask questions in plain language and get real answers backed by your actual store data.

What Is Uscreen MCP

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, an open standard that lets AI agents communicate with external services. The Uscreen MCP connects your preferred AI client to your Uscreen business through a single, hosted endpoint.

Once authorized, your AI agent can pull information about your subscribers, analytics, and content catalog and, as MCP grows, take actions, all through natural conversation.

ℹ️ INFO: If you’re the Store Owner, you can authorize access directly. If you’re a team member, the Store Owner must grant you MCP permissions before you can connect an AI agent to store data.

Setup Instructions

Before you start, make sure your AI agent allows custom MCP connections. This may require a paid account. Free accounts may not allow you to add custom connectors.

Connecting Your AI Agent

📝 NOTE: The Uscreen MCP is available to stores with developer/API access and requires the New Website Editor. If you don’t see the card in Settings > Integration & Security, check that your account has the required access.

  1. Navigate to Settings > Integration & Security

  2. Find the Uscreen MCP card, marked with a Beta badge

  3. Copy the MCP URL https://app.uscreen.tv/mcp from the card

        }
      }
    }

  4. Save mcp.json Then fully quit and reopen Cursor so the server loads.

  5. Return to Settings > Tools & MCPs and complete the OAuth login when prompted to authorize access.

Other Tools

Uscreen MCP works with any AI client that supports custom MCP connectors.

The steps are always the same: add a custom MCP connector, paste https://app.uscreen.tv/mcp and log in through the OAuth authorization screen. For tools not listed above, please refer to their own MCP setup guides.

Permissions & Re-authorization

When you connect to Uscreen MCP, the authorization screen shows which permissions your AI agent can receive.

Store Owners can authorize available MCP permissions directly. Team members can only authorize permissions that the Store Owner has already granted to them in Uscreen.

When Uscreen adds new capabilities, like write actions, you may see a one-click re-authorize option in your AI agent. You’ll be notified when that happens and won’t need to reconnect from scratch.

📝 NOTE: If a Store Owner changes or revokes a team member’s MCP permissions, that team member may need to re-authorize their AI agent before continuing to use Uscreen MCP.

Managing MCP Permissions for Team Members

Store Owners can control which team members are allowed to connect the AI agent to Uscreen MCP and which store data each team member can access.

MCP Permissions are separate from the roles you manage in Team Management. Team Management controls what someone can access inside the Uscreen admin panel. MCP Permissions control what that person can access via an AI agent connected to the Uscreen MCP.

For example, a team member may have access to certain areas in the Uscreen admin panel, but still needs separate MCP permissions before their AI agent can read or store data.

📝 NOTE: Only the Store Owner can manage MCP Permissions to keep MCP access consistent, secure, and easy to track. Team members can connect an AI agent after access is granted, but they can't grant permissions to themselves or to other team members. If you need MCP access granted or changed, contact your Store Owner directly. Our support team also can't and will not adjust MCP access levels for any user.

Granting MCP Access to a Team Member

To grant access:

  1. In your Uscreen admin, go to Settings > MCP Permissions

  2. Find the team member you want to manage

  3. Choose Grant Access

  4. Select the MCP permissions you want that team member to have

  5. Save your changes

After access is granted, the team member can connect their AI agent to Uscreen MCP. During authorization, they’ll only be able to approve the permissions granted.

Edit or Revoke MCP Access

You can update a team member’s MCP permissions at any time.

Use Edit Scopes to change which permissions the team member has. Use Revoke Access to remove their MCP access entirely.

When permissions are edited or revoked, the team member’s existing AI connection may stop working until they re-authorize. If access is revoked, they won’t be able to use Uscreen MCP again unless the Store Owner grants access.

💡 TIP: Start with only the permissions a team member needs. You can add more later if their responsibilities change.

Starter Prompts

Not sure where to start? Just ask.

Copy and paste any of these examples directly into your AI agent. Prompts are organized into four tabs: All, Store Health, Content, and CRM.

Store Health

  • Analyze my Business:

    • How's my business doing this month? Give me MRR, active subscribers, and trial count vs. last month, and call out any metric that moved more than 5% either direction.

  • Break Down MRR by Plan:

    • Break down current MRR and active subscribers by plan, then compare total MRR to last month and tell me which direction it moved.

  • New Subscribers This Month:

    • How many new subscribers signed up in the last 30 days?

  • Check My Growth Momentum:

    • Compare this week's subscription starts (trial + paid) to each of the last 4 weeks. Is the overall trend moving up or down, not just this week versus last week?

Content

  • Improve a Video's SEO:

    • Rewrite the meta title and description for video X, and show me the changes before saving. The new copy should be optimized for SEO best practices and impact.

  • Top Videos This Week:

    • What are my top 5 most-watched videos in the last 7 days?

  • Trending Collections:

    • What's trending in my collections this month?

  • Check a Video's Performance:

    • How has this video been performing over the last 30 days?

  • Attach a Resource to a Video:

    • Attach [file] as a downloadable resource to video X.

CRM

  • Spot Upcoming Cancellations:

    • List members set to cancel at period end, plus anyone whose trial ends in the next 7 days. Group them by plan so I can see where cancellations are concentrated.

  • Look Up a Member:

    • Look up this member by email and tell me about their account.

  • This Week's New Signups:

    • Show me all new leads, subscribers and anyone who purchased in the last 7 days.

  • Find Failed Payments:

    • Show me any failed or overdue subscription payments this month, and which members they belong to.

  • Tag a Member:

    • Add the tag [tag name] to this member.

  • Check What a Member Can Access:

    • List everything member X can access right now: products, bundles, and any individually granted videos or collections.

  • Add a Private Note to a Member:

    • Add a private note to this member's account: [note text]. This is only visible to my team, not the member.

💡 TIP: Every prompt here is a starting point. Swap in your own plan names, date ranges, thresholds, or member details to get results tailored to your store.

Coming Later

The following capabilities are in development and not yet available:

  • Additional catalog edit scopes

  • Additional CRM edit scopes

  • Expanded prompts library

FAQs

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is an open standard that lets AI agents connect to external services and data sources. Uscreen MCP uses this standard so that AI clients like Claude Desktop can read and, eventually, interact with your Uscreen store, all without you having to export data or build custom integrations.

Which AI agents work with Uscreen MCP?

Any AI client that supports custom MCP connectors works with Uscreen MCP. Supported tools include Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT & Codex, and more. You add a custom connector in your AI tool, paste your Uscreen MCP URL, and log in with your Uscreen credentials.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Uscreen MCP is fully hosted, and there's nothing to download or run locally. You connect through your AI agents connector settings using a standard OAuth flow.

Is my store data secure?

Yes. Uscreen MCP uses OAuth with a consent screen, so you control exactly which permissions your AI client receives. Only you can authorize access to your store, and you can revoke access at any time.

Can I upload thumbnails for categories or offers through MCP?

Not yet; the thumbnail upload currently covers videos, collections, and livestreams. Category and offer thumbnails are planned as a follow-up.
