TVWizard
VerifiedControl Android TV from any AI with natural language commands.
What is the TVWizard MCP server?
TVWizard connects AIs to Android TVs through a hosted relay at tv.djwizard.ai and a local bridge app. The bridge initiates outbound connections, enabling remote control while keeping the TV secure behind its network.
Commands flow via the Model Context Protocol, supporting key presses, app launches, title playback, and real-time screen observation. Early access is free with GDPR-compliant hosting in Frankfurt.
