What it is

TVWizard turns any Claude-compatible AI chat into a universal remote. Pair your Android TV or Google TV once with a 6-digit code, and from that moment on you can say "put on Scrubs S2E5" or "turn the bedroom TV off" from your phone, your laptop, your car — anywhere you talk to Claude.

It works through the Model Context Protocol, the emerging standard for AI agents controlling real-world tools.

How it works

  ┌───────────┐       ┌─────────────────┐       ┌─────────────────────┐
  │  Claude   │──MCP─▶│  TVWizard Relay │──WS──▶│  TVWizard Bridge    │
  │  (any)    │       │ tv.djwizard.ai  │       │  (Android TV app)   │
  └───────────┘       └─────────────────┘       └─────────────────────┘

        └───────── pairing code (6 digits) ────────────────┘

The bridge connects outbound to the relay — no port forwarding, no VPN, no same-Wi-Fi requirement. Your TV at home obeys commands from your phone abroad.

Install (5 minutes)

  1. Get the bridge APK from the latest release. Install on your Android TV or Google TV. (Sideload instructions in docs/install-bridge.md.)

  2. Open the app, tap Pair. The TV shows a 6-digit code.

  3. Go to tv.djwizard.ai/claim.html, type the code, pick a device name (e.g. living-room). Copy the bearer token + the Claude Desktop config snippet it generates.

  4. Paste into Claude Desktop (see docs/claude-desktop.md). Restart the app.

  5. Talk to your TV. Try: "What's on my living-room TV right now?" or "Put on Stranger Things season 1 episode 1."

MCP tools

Tool

What

tv.list_devices

Lists TVs paired to your account.

tv.send_key

Sends a key: POWER, HOME, UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT, OK, BACK, VOL_UP/DOWN.

tv.launch_app

Opens an Android Intent — YouTube deep links, Netflix titles, any HTTPS URL.

tv.list_apps

Enumerates installed apps so your AI knows what's available.

tv.play_title

Resolves "Scrubs S2E5" to a country-specific provider deep link (Netflix, Disney+, Max, Apple TV+, and more) via TMDB + JustWatch.

tv.observe

Reads back the TV screen state: foreground app, focused element, visible clickable nodes.

Full reference with examples: docs/mcp-tools.md.

Supported providers

tv.play_title resolves titles via TMDB → JustWatch → a region-aware Android package map, with a 60-day cache. Streaming catalogs vary by country; Stremio (virtual, IMDB-keyed) fills gaps where JustWatch coverage is patchy.

      Gives AI coding agents eyes and hands on a TV: capture the screen as an image, press remote keys, type text, read console logs and JS errors, deploy projects, launch apps, and apply or revert system tweaks across Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Roku and LG webOS. This lets an agent design, live-check and iterate on a custom ad-free home screen directly on the big screen.
