[GenAI] Implement FastAPI MCP for LLMs so Frigate can provide context to answer questions
Describe what you are trying to accomplish and why in non technical terms
Frigate can implement an MCP to allow GenAI / LLMs to answer more in-depth questions about one's Frigate instance. Some examples could be:
- When was the last package delivered?
- How many people walked through the front yard today?
- Turn off my outside cameras.
Describe the solution you'd like
Frigate can use something like https://gofastmcp.com/integrations/fastapi to implement MCP which would allow either Frigate itself, or LLMs themselves, to provide context to LLMs
Describe alternatives you've considered
This doesn't provide anything new that the UI can't answer, but it does provide new ways to automate things and new ways to get information / combine other sources of information together.
+1 - yes that would hook nicely into a lot of what I'm building. I don't even have a tpu or detection setup yet, but if Mcp was implemented, that might be the push I need.
