🚀 Wayland MCP Server

Status: WIP License: GPL3

Note: This package was created because existing screenshot solutions didn't work reliably on my Wayland setup. Wayland MCP provides screenshot, analysis, mouse and keyboard control tools for modern Linux desktops.


✨ Features

  • 📸 Screenshot & Analysis

    • Custom VLM integration for image analysis

    • Image comparison capabilities

  • 🖱️ Input Simulation

    • Mouse control (move, click, drag, scroll)

    • Keyboard input (typing, key presses)

    • Action chaining for complex sequences

⚠️ Security Warning

WARNING: Enabling input control gives the MCP server full access to your mouse and keyboard. Only use with trusted MCP servers and models.
