OV Fleet — AI Integration

Ask an AI assistant about your cameras and vision applications in plain language.

Prerequisites

• Claude Code installed, with a signed-in Claude account. Install it in the environment where you will run your sessions — if you work in WSL, that means inside WSL, not Windows.
• Your machine is on the factory network and can reach the Fleet server.
• A Fleet system_root account (to turn the server on).
• A Fleet service token with MCP access (see below).

Turn on the server

A system_root user opens System → Settings → Read-only MCP server and turns on Enable read-only MCP server. It takes effect within a few seconds — no redeploy.

Fleet now serves MCP at the Fleet address you already use, plus /mcp:

http://<fleet-host>:<fleet-port>/mcp

Keep it on the factory network.

Get a service token

Every MCP request needs a service token. A Fleet system_root user creates one in the web UI — ask for one with MCP access. The secret is shown only once, at creation: store it like a password. If it is lost or leaked, have it revoked and a new one created.

Connect Claude Code

Do one of the following, in the same environment where Claude Code is installed.

Either run this command:

claude mcp add --transport http ov-fleet http://<fleet-host>:<fleet-port>/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>"

Or add an mcpServers entry to Claude Code's config file, ~/.claude.json in that same environment's home folder:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ov-fleet": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://<fleet-host>:<fleet-port>/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Start a new session — servers load at session start. Claude Code can now answer questions about your fleet.

Connect VS Code

For VS Code's built-in MCP support (Copilot agent mode), add .vscode/mcp.json to your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "ov-fleet": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://<fleet-host>:<fleet-port>/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <your-token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop's chat does not work

Its Settings → Connectors hands the URL to Anthropic's cloud, which then tries to reach it — and it cannot see inside your factory network. Claude Code connects from your own machine, which is why it works.
