An honest breakdown of what each tool does, where it matches Twitch, and where it goes further.
The honest take
Most Stream Tools mirror what Twitch already offers in their dashboard — polls, predictions, chat, moderation, and more in one place. Use the dashboard directly in your browser; MCP is an optional layer if you later want the same controls from an AI assistant.
Open the dashboardCore tools for controlling your live stream.
Update your title, game, and tags. Essentially what Twitch’s dashboard already does — we’re a clean 1:1 mirror with everything on one page.
Drop a marker in your VOD timeline. Identical to pressing the Twitch hotkey. Handy when you want a quick bookmark without leaving this dashboard.
Start a commercial or snooze the next ad. Same buttons Twitch gives you. The dashboard view shows your ad schedule at a glance, which is marginally more convenient than the native panel.
Interactive features for your viewers.
Create polls, view results, end or archive them. Functionally identical to Twitch’s poll panel. You see all recent polls in a list with vote counts.
Beyond Twitch
Our list view makes it easier to scan past polls at a glance. Optionally, MCP can create polls from natural language if you connect an AI client.
Create channel point predictions, lock them, pick a winner. Same as Twitch’s prediction panel. The list view with point totals is slightly more informative than the native UI.
Beyond Twitch
Same controls as Twitch, with a clearer history view. MCP can also create, lock, and resolve predictions if you prefer voice or chat-driven control mid-game.
Create and manage custom rewards. We go a bit further than Twitch here: preset templates for common rewards (Mog Cam, TTS, highlight requests, etc.), inline editing without page reloads, and a redemption queue per reward.
Beyond Twitch
This is one of the genuinely useful dashboard pages. The preset system means you can set up a Mog Cam or TTS reward in two clicks with a shareable setup link.
Send messages and manage chat settings.
Send a message or announcement to your channel’s chat via the REST API. This is NOT a live chat client — you can’t read incoming messages or have conversations. It’s a one-way broadcast tool.
Beyond Twitch
Useful for quick announcements from the dashboard. MCP can also send messages programmatically if you want automated shoutouts or poll-result posts.
Toggle slow mode, emote-only, follower-only, subscriber-only modes. Same toggles as Twitch’s chat settings. We add preset slow-mode durations for quick switching.
Manage bans, timeouts, and chat safety.
Ban or timeout users, view the banned users list with reasons and expiry dates. Equivalent to Twitch’s mod tools. The banned users list with search and expiry info is slightly more useful than Twitch’s native view.
Send an official warning to a user. Uses the newer Twitch warning system. Same as the /warn command but with a user search UI.
Delete individual chat messages by ID. Same as clicking the trash icon in Twitch’s mod view, accessible from the dashboard for quick cleanup.
Manage blocked terms that get auto-filtered from chat. Add or remove terms individually. Direct mirror of Twitch’s AutoMod blocked terms list.
Toggle shield mode on or off. When active, it enables stricter AutoMod filtering and restricts chat to reduce harassment during heated moments. Same as the Twitch shield mode button.
Clips, videos, and media tools.
Browse your channel’s clips, create new clips while live, and search by title or creator. The gallery view with thumbnails is nicer than Twitch’s clip manager.
Beyond Twitch
We added AI transcription — click “Transcribe” on any clip to get a text description and transcript. Useful for finding specific moments without rewatching. This doesn’t exist in native Twitch.
