How do AI agents or MCP clients interact with Vil Compositor?

Interaction occurs via standard I/O using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), specifically newline-delimited JSON-RPC, enabling seamless programmatic control over the compositor.

What core functionalities does Vil Compositor offer to clients?

Clients can programmatically launch applications within the compositor and capture screenshots of active windows, all through its MCP-based interface.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

MCP is a protocol that allows AI agents and other clients to communicate context, commands, and receive information from services (like Vil Compositor) using standard I/O.

Provides a minimal Wayland compositor interface for AI agents and MCP clients via standard I/O.

概要

MCPvil is a specialized Wayland compositor, forked from Smithay's smallvil, designed to facilitate interaction with AI agents and other Model Context Protocol (MCP) clients. It integrates an MCP server, enabling external clients to control compositor functionalities, such as launching applications and capturing screenshots, directly over standard I/O using the newline-delimited JSON-RPC protocol. This setup provides a programmatic interface for automating desktop interactions in a Wayland environment.
