MCP Divoom Lan

🚀 mcp-divoom-lan

mcp-divoom-lan is an open-source MCP server that wraps Divoom watchface LAN APIs as standard tools for AI clients.

It works together with the v2 HTML visual editor for modifying watchfaces, switching faces, adjusting brightness, and creating new local watchfaces.

v2 visual editor (public):

📌 Local clone note Your local clone path (e.g. D:\divoom-watchface-visual-editor) is machine-specific; use the v2 GitHub / GitHub Pages URLs above in docs and MCP metadata.

✨ Goals

• Expose key capabilities from Divoom_Watchface_Remote_Customization_Guide_EN.md as MCP tools.
• Let MCP-enabled clients (Cursor, Claude Desktop, local LLMs, etc.) drive watchface actions via natural language.
• Preserve safety boundaries (read before write, explicit warnings for risky operations, multipart rules).

🛡️ Default Safety Policy (Important)

• Read before write: call watchface_get_local, then watchface_patch_local, then read back to verify.
• If GetLocalClockInfo returns an empty ItemList: stop writes; switch to an editable watchface first.
• Do not call watchface_create_local_clock unless the user clearly asks to create a new one (no implicit creation).

🧰 Implemented Tools

📚 Resources (Context for the Model)

The server exposes two MCP resources:

• divoom://guide/quick-reference
• divoom://skill/watchface-customization

📦 MCP Bundle (.mcpb)

For MCPB-compatible hosts (e.g. Claude desktop connectors, Smithery stdio releases), build a local bundle:

1. Install the packer: npm install -g @anthropic-ai/mcpb
2. From this package root: npm run mcpb:pack
3. Output: mcp-divoom-lan.mcpb (gitignored). The staging directory mcpb/staging/ is also gitignored.

The bundle includes dist/, resources/, production node_modules, and a manifest.json with user fields for device IP, port, and timeout.

🚀 Quick Start

cd tools/mcp-divoom-lan  # or your clone root for this package
npm install
npm run build
npm start

Development (watch rebuild):

npm run dev

Pre-release check (typecheck, build, pack dry-run):

npm run release:check

⚙️ Environment Variables

⚠️ Important Note If DIVOOM_DEVICE_HOST is unset, each tool call must pass target.host.

🧩 Example Client Config (stdio)

Cursor / Claude Desktop

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "divoom-lan": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/to/tools/mcp-divoom-lan/dist/index.js"
      ],
      "env": {
        "DIVOOM_DEVICE_HOST": "192.168.1.120",
        "DIVOOM_DEVICE_PORT": "9000",
        "DIVOOM_TIMEOUT_MS": "45000"
      }
    }
  }
}

You can also copy client-config.example.json in this directory as a starting point.

📤 Publishing Checklist (for Maintainers)

1. Use a dedicated repo (e.g. mcp-divoom-lan) with this package at the repo root.
2. Verify metadata: LICENSE, SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CHANGELOG.md, RELEASE.md as applicable.
3. Run npm run release:check.
4. Tag a GitHub release (e.g. v0.1.2) with screenshots and sample requests if helpful.
5. Submit listings where appropriate (MCP Registry, Smithery, Glama, MCP.so, community indexes).
   • For Glama, follow GLAMA_SUBMISSION_READY.md (includes Dockerfile and glama.json).
   • For MCP.so, follow MCP_SO_SUBMISSION_READY.md.
   • For the Volcano Engine MCP list, see VOLCENGINE_SUBMISSION_READY.md (PR: https://github.com/volcengine/mcp-server/pull/398).
   • For Alibaba Cloud Bailian custom MCP (console npx deployment), see BAILIAN_MCP_SUBMISSION_READY.md.
   • For Coze plugin publishing/store (HTTP plugin, different from MCP), see COZE_SUBMISSION_READY.md.
6. Minimal demo flow: watchface_get_local → watchface_patch_local (font size/color) → watchface_replace_dial_bg_file (background).

📁 Files Often Used at Release

Included in this repo (when present): LICENSE, CHANGELOG.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, RELEASE.md, optional checklist and directory templates, and .github/workflows/ci.yml.

🤔 Should the HTML Visual Editor Ship Inside This npm Package?

Recommendation: no for the core MCP package — keep MCP lean. Offer the editor as a separate optional project.

• Core: https://github.com/DivoomDevelop/mcp-divoom-lan
• Visual editor v2: https://github.com/DivoomDevelop/divoom-watchface-visual-editor_v2
• Hosted v2: https://divoomdevelop.github.io/divoom-watchface-visual-editor_v2/

Benefits:

• Small MCP install suitable for all AI clients
• Non-developers can use the visual UI to understand ItemList, then let the AI apply patches
• Clear split between WYSIWYG editing and automated MCP writes
