Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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": {
    "ddc-ci-control-bridge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ddc-ci-control-bridge"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add ddc-ci-control-bridge -- npx -y ddc-ci-control-bridge

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ddc-ci-control-bridge": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ddc-ci-control-bridge"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "ddc-ci-control-bridge": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "ddc-ci-control-bridge"

Common questions

Is DDC/CI Control Bridge 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 (1.0.5) reached the registry 13 months 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 on your computer.

DDC/CI Control Bridge

Multi-protocol server for DDC/CI monitor control with MCP and MQTT support.

Features

DDC/CI Monitor Control: Read and write VCP codes to control monitor brightness, contrast, input source, and more
Model Context Protocol (MCP): Server with resources and tools for AI/agent integration
MQTT Client: Connect to any MQTT broker for IoT/automation platforms
Home Assistant auto-discovery support
Generic MQTT pub/sub for custom integrations
Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS
Dual Distribution: Available as standalone executable or npm package

Quick Start

Installation

Option 1: NPM Package (Global)

npm install -g ddc-ci-control-bridge

ddc-ci-bridge

Option 2: NPX (No Install)

npx ddc-ci-control-bridge

Option 3: Standalone Executable

Download the binary for your platform from GitHub Releases:

Windows: ddc-ci-bridge-win.exe
Linux: ddc-ci-bridge-linux
macOS: ddc-ci-bridge-macos

⚠️ Note: The executable requires DDC_API_KEY environment variable to be set, or it will exit immediately.

Windows:

# Set API key (required)

set DDC_API_KEY=your-secret-key

Run the executable

ddc-ci-bridge-win.exe

Or set multiple environment variables

set DDC_API_KEY=your-secret-key set MQTT_ENABLED=true set MQTT_HOST=192.168.1.100 ddc-ci-bridge-win.exe

Linux/macOS:

# Make executable (first time only)

chmod +x ddc-ci-bridge-linux # or ddc-ci-bridge-macos

Run with API key (required)

DDC_API_KEY=your-secret-key ./ddc-ci-bridge-linux

Or with multiple environment variables

DDC_API_KEY=your-secret-key MQTT_ENABLED=true MQTT_HOST=192.168.1.100 ./ddc-ci-bridge-linux

Using with MCP Clients:

Configure your MCP client to use the executable path:

"mcpServers": { "ddc-ci-bridge": { "command": "C:\\path\\to\\ddc-ci-bridge-win.exe", "args": [], "env": { "MQTT_ENABLED": "false" } } } }

MCP Client Setup

Choose between Local (stdio) or Remote (HTTP) setup depending on your needs:

Local Setup: Run MCP server on the same machine as your monitors (recommended for most users)
Remote Setup: Run MCP server on a monitor-connected machine, access from other devices

🖥️ Local Setup (stdio - Same Machine)

Use this if your MCP client is on the same machine as your monitors.
