This server does not currently have a deployable release on Glama. Follow the repository's setup instructions to install and configure it for your MCP client, including any required credentials and local dependencies.
Framework-agnostic interactive terminal canvases for AI coding assistants.
Works with OpenCode, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok CLI, and any MCP-compatible AI harness.
Supports multiple TUI frameworks: OpenTUI (primary), Ink, and more.
Protocol-first design - Any TUI framework can implement canvases
Multiple implementations - Same canvas in OpenTUI, Ink, Bubbletea, etc.
MCP integration - Works with any AI coding assistant via MCP
tmux integration - Canvases spawn in split panes
Calendar - Weekly view with events, meeting time picker
Document - Markdown viewer/editor with text selection
Flight - Cyberpunk-themed flight booking with seatmaps

}Canvases communicate via Unix sockets using the TUI Canvas Protocol:
Canvas → Controller:
{ type: "ready", scenario: string }
{ type: "selected", data: unknown }
{ type: "cancelled", reason?: string }Controller → Canvas:
{ type: "update", config: unknown }
{ type: "close" }# Clone and install
