List Stream Deck desktop profiles from the active ProfilesV3 or ProfilesV2 directory.

Read a profile page by profile name or ID and page index or directory ID.

Create a new page or replace/update an existing Stream Deck desktop page manifest. IMPORTANT: the Elgato desktop app overwrites profile manifests from its in-memory state on quit, so writes made while the app is running are lost. This tool refuses to write when the app is running unless auto_quit_app=True is passed. Call streamdeck_restart_app once your edits are complete to make the changes visible on the device.

Generate one or many PNG icons. Button icons are 72x72 px; touchstrip segment icons are 200x100 px (use shape='touchstrip'). For a single icon: pass 'icon' (a Material Design Icons name like 'mdi:cpu-64-bit') OR 'text' (mutually exclusive with 'icon' — titles go on streamdeck_write_page's 'title' field since Elgato overlays them on images). For a full deck (often 30+ icons): pass 'icons' as a list of spec dicts to generate them all in one call and avoid the round-trip timeouts serial calls hit. ~7400 MDI icons bundled offline; unknown names return close-match suggestions. Returns either a single {path, size, ...} dict or {"icons": [...]} when 'icons' is used (each list element is a per-icon result or an {"error"} entry for that spec).

Create an executable shell script in ~/StreamDeckScripts and return a native Open action block for it.

Restart the macOS Stream Deck desktop app after profile changes.

Install the bundled streamdeck-mcp Stream Deck plugin into the user's Elgato Plugins directory. The plugin is a minimal shell that declares encoder support so that per-instance touchstrip icons and backgrounds written by streamdeck_write_page survive an Elgato app restart. Idempotent — returns installed=false when already present unless force=true. streamdeck_write_page also auto-installs this plugin when an encoder button targets it, so most callers do not need to invoke this directly.
