Context: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

• Find a config key / API endpoint / feature: -> Step 2 (search --query <term>)
• Read a how-to in full: -> Step 4 (fetch --page <publish/X or read/X>)
• Read one section: -> Step 3 (section --page <page> --id <anchor>)
• Prime cache for offline: -> Step 5 (index)

When to use

• User asks "how do I push RTSP to MediaMTX?" or "how do I configure JWT auth?" or "what control-api endpoints exist?"
• Need to verify a MediaMTX config key or CLI flag before recommending it.
• Need the canonical mediamtx.org URL to cite.
• Before wiring up a publisher/reader, confirm the protocol endpoint and default port (RTSP 8554, RTMP 1935, HLS 8888, WebRTC 8889, SRT 8890, API 9997, Metrics 9998, pprof 9999).
• For the running-server wrapper + API calls, see the mediamtx-server skill.
