Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Android TV remote: list devices, send keys, launch apps, play titles, and observe the screen.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tvpilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/tvpilot",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add tvpilot -- npx -y @reneturcios/tvpilot mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tvpilot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/tvpilot",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "tvpilot": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/tvpilot",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Tvpilot safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 4 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Open the README

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

tvpilot

tvpilot controls a paired Android TV or Google TV: it lists the paired device, sends remote key events, launches apps and intents, resolves a spoken-style title to the right streaming provider and plays it, and reads back what is on the screen. One binary serves a command-line interface and a stdio MCP server.

Calls go through the TVWizard relay, which forwards them over a WebSocket to the bridge app running on the TV, so no same-network, VPN, or port-forwarding setup is needed. Pairing is done once in the bridge app: it shows a code, you claim it, and you receive a bearer token for your TV.

Configuration

Two environment variables configure the tool:

  • TVWIZARD_TOKEN (required) — the bearer token issued when you paired your TV. Without it every call fails with an error naming the variable; there are no unauthenticated or fake results.
  • TVWIZARD_MCP_URL (optional) — the relay endpoint. It defaults to https://tv.djwizard.ai/api/mcp. Note: the public TVWizard documentation describes the relay architecture and its bearer auth but does not publish the relay's raw HTTP path, so this default endpoint is a documented reconstruction; override it if the relay publishes a different path.

Install

npx @reneturcios/tvpilot devices

Or run the container image:

docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/tvpilot

The container defaults to the MCP server (see below). Pass CLI arguments to use it as a CLI instead.

CLI

tvpilot devices

tvpilot key POWER tvpilot launch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw --package com.google.android.youtube.tv tvpilot apps tvpilot play Stranger Things --country US --season 2 --episode 3 --year 2016 --provider netflix tvpilot observe

tvpilot --version

Commands print the relay's JSON payload. Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 when a call fails (including a missing token or an upstream relay error), 2 for usage errors.

Keys for tvpilot key are POWER, HOME, UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, OK, BACK, VOL_UP, and VOL_DOWN. Providers for --provider are netflix, disney_plus, prime_video, max, hulu, apple_tv_plus, paramount_plus, peacock, fubo_tv, youtube, and stremio.

tvpilot observe needs the Android AccessibilityService granted to the bridge app. The first call without it returns an accessibility_not_granted error explaining that a setup prompt was posted on the TV; tap it, then retry.

MCP server

One bin serves both faces. The mcp subcommand starts a stdio MCP server:

npx -y @reneturcios/tvpilot mcp

MCP client configuration:

{

"mcpServers": { "tvpilot": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/tvpilot", "mcp"], "env": { "TVWIZARD_TOKEN": " " } } } }

Tools
ToolInputWhat it returns
tv.list_devices(none)The TVs paired with the caller's token, each with an id and online flag.
tv.send_keykey (required)Sends one key event: one of the ten keys listed above.
tv.launch_appdata (required), package (optional)Opens an Intent URI, deep link, or URL, optionally in a named package.
tv.list_apps(none)Installed apps with package, label, and a leanback flag for TV launchers.
tv.play_titletitle (required); country, season, episode, year, provider (optional)Resolves the title to a provider deep link and plays it.
tv.observe(none)Foreground package/activity, the focused element, and visible clickable nodes.

Upstream failures — a title that cannot be found, no provider for the title in the chosen country, a relay with its resolver disabled, or accessibility not yet granted — are returned as error results carrying the relay's own message.

Development

npm install

npm run build # tsc -> dist/ npm test # node test runner over test/*.test.ts, no network (fake fetch fixtures) npm run dev # run the CLI from source via tsx
