Accepted Answer

Roku MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed for automating Roku devices. It allows LLM-driven clients to interact with Roku devices for comprehensive control and inspection.

You need Node.js 18+ installed, and a Roku device with Developer Mode enabled, connected to the same network as your development machine. For screenshots and deployment, a sideloaded dev channel must be running on the Roku.

Question 3

What key features does Roku MCP offer for developers?

Accepted Answer

It provides tools for sideloading and managing Roku applications, full ECP remote control (keypresses, app launching), capturing device screenshots, inspecting SceneGraph nodes, and interacting with the BrightScript debug console.

Question 4

How do I connect Roku MCP to my Roku device?

Accepted Answer

You configure it within your LLM client (e.g., Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop) by specifying your Roku device's IP address (`ROKU_DEVICE_HOST`) and developer password (`ROKU_DEVICE_PASSWORD`) as environment variables or parameters.

Question 5

Can Roku MCP automatically find my Roku device?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if `ROKU_DEVICE_HOST` is not explicitly set, Roku MCP can automatically discover Roku devices on your local network using SSDP. However, the developer password must still be provided.
