roku-mcp

Install

The server ships as a single npx command. Install once globally if you prefer, or let your MCP client launch it on demand via npx -y roku-mcp — both work.

npm install -g roku-mcp     # optional, global install
# or just point your client at: npx -y roku-mcp

Configure your AI client below. Every platform uses the same launch line; only the config file and reload step change.

Cursor — agent-mode tools, auto-discovers MCP servers

Prerequisites: Cursor 0.45+ with Agent mode.

Install: create .cursor/mcp.json in your project root (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "roku": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "roku-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ROKU_DEVICE_HOST": "192.168.1.XXX",
        "ROKU_DEVICE_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then reload the window (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window).

Verify: open Cursor Settings → MCP and confirm the roku row shows a green dot. If it appears disabled, click the toggle. In a new agent chat, type list roku tools — you should see roku_deploy, roku_screenshot, etc.

Routing rule (recommended): the repo also ships an AGENTS.md. Cursor picks it up automatically, so the agent knows the canonical observe → act → wait → verify loop and the RTA uiElementId gotcha without you having to re-explain it every session.

Troubleshoot: if the server stays grey/disabled, check View → Output → MCP Logs — the most common cause is ROKU_DEVICE_HOST unreachable on the LAN. Omit the env block entirely to fall back to SSDP auto-discovery.

VS Code (GitHub Copilot) — agent mode, MCP via .vscode/mcp.json

Prerequisites: VS Code 1.99+ with the GitHub Copilot extension and an active Copilot subscription that includes Agent mode.

Install: create .vscode/mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "servers": {
    "roku": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "roku-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ROKU_DEVICE_HOST": "192.168.1.XXX",
        "ROKU_DEVICE_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Reload the window (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P → Developer: Reload Window).

Verify: open Copilot Chat, switch the chat-mode dropdown to Agent, and ask "what roku tools do you have?". You should see the full roku_* list. The MCP panel (Cmd+Shift+P → MCP: List Servers) should show roku as Running.

Troubleshoot: if the server fails to start, run npx -y roku-mcp --help in a regular terminal first — that confirms Node 18+ and npx are working before VS Code launches it.

Claude Desktop — official Anthropic desktop app

Prerequisites: Claude Desktop (latest from claude.ai/download), Node.js 18+ on PATH.

Install: edit your Claude Desktop config:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "roku": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "roku-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ROKU_DEVICE_HOST": "192.168.1.XXX",
        "ROKU_DEVICE_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}

Fully quit and restart Claude Desktop (the menu-bar icon must close — Cmd+Q on macOS).

Verify: open a new chat. The 🛠️ icon in the input bar should list roku-mcp with all its tools. Ask "take a Roku screenshot" — Claude will request approval for roku_screenshot and run it.

Troubleshoot: if no tool icon appears, check `~/Library/Logs/Claude/m
