hive-screen-mcp

A stdio MCP server that exposes screenshot, keyboard, and mouse tools to agents running a Weston Wayland compositor (hyperhive.gui.enable = true).

When to use it

This crate is the bridge for GUI agents — agents that drive graphical applications (browsers, desktop tools, game UIs) and need to see and interact with a Weston Wayland display. If your agent does not have hyperhive.gui.enable = true, none of these tools will function.

Tools

Tool Mechanism Requires
screenshot grim → PNG on stdout grim in PATH, WAYLAND_DISPLAY
type_text wtype (Wayland virtual-keyboard protocol) wtype in PATH
key_press wtype -k (XKB keysym syntax) wtype in PATH
mouse_move RFB PointerEvent to the neatvnc backend HIVE_GUI_VNC_PORT
mouse_click RFB move → button-down → button-up sequence HIVE_GUI_VNC_PORT

All tools operate in userspace — no /dev/uinput or kernel bypass. WAYLAND_DISPLAY and XDG_RUNTIME_DIR are injected by the weston-vnc NixOS module; HIVE_GUI_VNC_PORT is set by the harness service (defaults to 5900).

Shape

One binary (hive-screen-mcp) launched over stdio. The agent runtime wires it as an extra MCP server when hyperhive.gui.enable = true. There are no library exports — it is a self-contained binary crate.
