Published to PyPI as `tesserae-mcp`.\n\nThe [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) bridge for\n[Tesserae](https://github.com/dmellok/tesserae). It lets an AI agent (Claude\nDesktop, Claude Code, or any MCP client) build **freeform (canvas) dashboards**\nfor your e-ink panels: it lists your widgets and devices, lays out a canvas,\n**renders a preview to check its own work**, and pushes to a panel.\n\nThis is a thin stdio client. It talks to a running Tesserae over its `/api/mcp`\nHTTP surface, so the rendering, widgets, and devices all come from your own\nTesserae instance.\n\n```\ncreate_canvas_page → set_canvas → render_preview → (look) → set_canvas → …\n```\n\n## Prerequisites\n\nA running Tesserae with the MCP API enabled: **Settings → System → MCP → Enable\nMCP API**. If this bridge runs on a *different* machine from Tesserae, also\n**Regenerate token** there and copy it.\n\n## Install\n\nRun this on the machine where your **agent** runs (your laptop/desktop), which\nmay be different from where Tesserae runs.\n\n```bash\npipx install tesserae-mcp\n```\n\nThat gives you the `tesserae-mcp` command. Upgrade it later with `pipx upgrade\ntesserae-mcp`; Tesserae flags an out-of-date bridge under **Settings → System →\nMCP** once one has connected.\n\n(From source: `pip install \"git+https://github.com/dmellok/tesserae#subdirectory=packages/tesserae-mcp\"`.\nThe standalone `dmellok/tesserae-mcp` repo is archived at 0.5.0 — development\nmoved into the monorepo.)\n\n## Configure your agent\n\nPoint your MCP client at `tesserae-mcp`.
