01 · Install Roku MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set ROKU_DEVICE_PASSWORD before connecting. ROKU_DEVICE_HOST is optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add jack1590-rokumcp -- npx -y roku-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jack1590-rokumcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "roku-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

npm package roku-mcp - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry namespace io.github.jack1590 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Roku MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can delete the currently sideloaded developer channel, scan the local network for Roku devices via SSDP, send a single key press (Home, Select, Up, Down, Left, Right, Back, etc.), and send multiple key presses in sequence with configurable delay.
