MCP bridge for Tesserae: build e-ink canvas dashboards with an AI agent.
Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"tesserae-mcp","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.

# tesserae-mcp > Part of the [Tesserae](https://github.com/dmellok/tesserae) monorepo > (`packages/tesserae-mcp`), so the bridge stays in lockstep with the `/api/mcp` > surface it wraps. Published to PyPI as `tesserae-mcp`. The [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) bridge for [Tesserae](https://github.com/dmellok/tesserae). It lets an AI agent (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client) build **freeform (canvas) dashboards** for your e-ink panels: it lists your widgets and devices, lays out a canvas, **renders a preview to check its own work**, and pushes to a panel. This is a thin stdio client. It talks to a running Tesserae over its `/api/mcp` HTTP surface, so the rendering, widgets, and devices all come from your own Tesserae instance. ``` create_canvas_page → set_canvas → render_preview → (look) → set_canvas → … ``` ## Prerequisites A running Tesserae with the MCP API enabled: **Settings → System → MCP → Enable MCP API**. If this bridge runs on a *different* machine from Tesserae, also **Regenerate token** there and copy it. ## Install Run this on the machine where your **agent** runs (your laptop/desktop), which may be different from where Tesserae runs. ```bash pipx install tesserae-mcp ``` That gives you the `tesserae-mcp` command. Upgrade it later with `pipx upgrade tesserae-mcp`; Tesserae flags an out-of-date bridge under **Settings → System → MCP** once one has connected. (From source: `pip install "git+https://github.com/dmellok/tesserae#subdirectory=packages/tesserae-mcp"`. The standalone `dmellok/tesserae-mcp` repo is archived at 0.5.0 — development moved into the monorepo.) ## Configure your agent Point your MCP client at `tesserae-mcp`. Example (Claude Desktop / Claude Code `mcpServers` config): ```json { "mcpServers": { "tesserae": { "command": "tesserae-mcp", "env": { "TESSERAE_URL": "http://127.0.0.1:8765", "TESSERAE_MCP_TOKEN": "<your-token>" } } } } ``` - `TESSERAE_URL` — where y…
