vizio-tv

MCP server to control a Vizio SmartCast TV over your local network. No cloud required — talks directly to the TV via the SmartCast local API.

Tools

Setup

npm install
export VIZIO_IP=<your-tv-ip>   # find in TV Settings > Network
node index.js

Find your TV's IP: Menu → Network → Manual Setup → IP Address

Pairing (one-time)

After starting the server, run pair_start — a 4-digit PIN appears on the TV. Then run pair_finish with that PIN. Auth token is saved to config.json (gitignored).
