# MCP Screen Native Tactility port of the MicroPython MCP Screen firmware. Phase 1 provides: - JSON-RPC 2.0 over `POST /api/mcp` on port 80 - `tools/list` - `get_capabilities` - `clear_screen` - `draw_text` Phase 2 adds: - `draw_raw_rgb565` - `POST /api/screen/raw` - `draw_color_bmp` - bridge-assisted PBM `draw_image` - PBM `get_screenshot` Backlight and screen-power controls are intentionally excluded. See `IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md` for the full roadmap. UDP discovery is temporarily unavailable to an external app because the Tactility 0.7.0-dev firmware does not export `lwip_recvfrom` and `lwip_sendto`. The existing MicroPython bridge remains compatible through its HTTP subnet-scan fallback. The HTTP worker uses a non-blocking listener and short client timeouts. `onHide` signals it and returns immediately; the worker owns the socket shutdown and then suspends itself outside the GUI lifecycle. It is reaped by the next `onShow`, or by `onDestroy` before Tactility unloads the external ELF. The MCP server is foreground-only: it starts in `onShow`, and port 80 closes within one short worker poll after `onHide`. It is intentionally unavailable whenever McpScreen is not the active screen. ## Build ```bash . /Users/adolforeyna/esp/esp-idf/export.sh export TACTILITY_SDK_PATH=/Users/adolforeyna/.gemini/antigravity/scratch/tactility/release/TactilitySDK python3 tactility.py Apps/McpScreen build esp32s3 --local-sdk ``` ## Direct smoke test Replace the IP address with the device address: ```bash curl -s http://DEVICE_IP/api/mcp \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' ``` ```bash curl -s http://DEVICE_IP/api/mcp \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"draw_text","arguments":{"text":"Hello from MCP","x":20,"y":30,"size":2}}}' ``` The existing MicroPython host bridge can also be used unchanged: ```bash python3 /Users/adolforeyna/Projects/MicroPython/test1/Screen/mcp_bridge.py ``` Or run the included Phase 2 smoke test: ```bash python3 Apps/McpScreen/tools/smoke_test.py --ip DEVICE_IP --draw ``` The `--ip` argument is required until UDP discovery is available to external apps.
