hdhr-http-api-ops

hdhr-http-api-ops is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Knuckles-Team/hdhomerun-mcp. It costs 164 tokens per session (1,280 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for controlling an HDHomeRun TV tuner through its HTTP JSON API. An HDHomeRun is a network device that receives television broadcasts and makes them available to other devices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect device identity, channel lineups, scan status, start or stop scans, and create live-stream URLs when the tuner's address is known.
Why use it?
It provides the steps for identifying the tuner, checking or scanning its channel list, and building live-stream links without using the tuner's separate low-level protocol.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

hdhr-http-api-ops scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

HDHomeRun HTTP API Operations

Direct access to the HDHomeRun HTTP JSON API (https://info.hdhomerun.com/info/http_api) for a device at a known URL: device identity, channel lineup, and scan control.

When to use

  • Fetch the channel lineup (lineup.json) or check scan progress (lineup_status.json).
  • Start or abort a channel scan.
  • Get device identity/firmware/tuner-count (discover.json).
  • Build a live-stream URL for a virtual channel or RF frequency.

When NOT to use

  • You don't know the device's IP/hostname yet → hdhr-discovery-ops first.
  • DVR recording rules or record-engine calls → hdhr-dvr-ops.
  • Per-tuner signal strength / raw get-set (status, vstatus, streaminfo, channel, filter, target, program) → hdhr-tuner-control (a different, binary wire protocol on port 65001 — these items are not HTTP endpoints; confirmed 404 against a real FLEX 4K).
  • A single pass/fail health report → hdhr-doctor (composes this skill).

Prerequisites & environment

Connect via the mcp-client skill against the hdhomerun-mcp MCP server.

Variable Required Notes
HDHOMERUN_URL Device base URL, e.g. http://10.0.132.114 or http://hdhomerun.arpa
HDHOMERUN_SSL_VERIFY optional TLS verification (local devices are plain HTTP)
HTTPTOOL optional Toggle this tool domain (default enabled)

Tools & actions

Condensed tool Actions
http_operations discover, lineup, lineup_status, scan_start, scan_abort, stream_url

Key parameters

  • lineup: {"fmt": "json"\|"xml"\|"m3u"} (default json).
  • scan_start: {"source": "Antenna"|"Cable"} (optional; omit to use the device's current source).
  • stream_url: {"channel", "tuner"?, "by_frequency"?, "program"?, "duration"?, "transcode"?}. transcode (EXTEND models only) must be one of heavy/mobile/internet540/internet480/internet360/internet240.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
