DisplayBuddy MCP Server\n\nAn [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets AI agents control Mac monitors via [DisplayBuddy](https://displaybuddy.app) — adjust brightness, contrast, volume, input source, apply presets, sync displays, and more.\n\nWorks with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and any MCP-compatible client.\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n1. **macOS** with [DisplayBuddy](https://displaybuddy.app) installed and running\n2. **DisplayBuddy CLI** installed: open DisplayBuddy \u003e Settings \u003e General \u003e Install CLI Tool\n3. **Node.js** 18+\n\n## Installation\n\n### Claude Desktop\n\nAdd to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"displaybuddy\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\"-y\", \"displaybuddy-mcp\"]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Cursor\n\nAdd to your MCP settings:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"displaybuddy\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\"-y\", \"displaybuddy-mcp\"]\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Smithery\n\n```bash\nnpx -y @smithery/cli install displaybuddy-mcp --client claude\n```\n\n## Available Tools\n\n| Tool | Description |\n|------|-------------|\n| `displaybuddy_status` | Quick overview of all displays (call this first) |\n| `displaybuddy_list` | Full display details including UUID, type, capabilities |\n| `displaybuddy_get` | Get properties of a specific display |\n| `displaybuddy_set` | Set brightness, contrast, volume, input, rotation |\n| `displaybuddy_preset_list` | List saved presets |\n| `displaybuddy_preset_activate` | Activate a preset (with optional delay) |\n| `displaybuddy_schedule_list` | List automation schedules |\n| `displaybuddy_schedule_toggle` | Enable or disable a schedule |\n| `displaybuddy_sync` | Check/enable/disable multi-display sync |\n\n## Example Prompts\n\nOnce connected, you can ask your AI assistant things like:\n\n- \"Dim all my monitors to 30%\"\n- \"What displays are connected?\"\n- \"Switch my Dell monitor to HDMI\"\n- \"Activate my Night Mode preset\"\n- \"Sync all displays to my main monitor\"\n- \"Turn up the brightness on my external display\"\n- \"Set up my coding environment — brightness 70, contrast 60\"\n\n## How It Works\n\nThe MCP server wraps the `displaybuddy` CLI, which communicates with the running DisplayBuddy app via URL scheme. All operations are local — no data leaves your machine.\n\n```\nAI Agent → MCP Server → displaybuddy CLI → DisplayBuddy App → Your Monitors\n```\n\n## Development\n\n```bash\nnpm install\nnpm run build\n\n# Test with MCP Inspector\nnpx -y @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node ./build/index.js\n```\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbiocross%2Fdisplaybuddy-mcp","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbiocross%2Fdisplaybuddy-mcp","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbiocross%2Fdisplaybuddy-mcp/lists"}
