RokuMCP
Drive a physical Roku on your LAN—deploy channels, send ECP remote keys, capture screenshots, and read the debug console—from your coding agent.
Overview
RokuMCP is a MCP server for the Ship phase that automates Roku device deploy, ECP control, screenshots, and debug console access for channel testing.
What is this MCP server?
- Deploy channel packages to a Roku device over the network
- ECP remote control automation for navigation and input flows
- On-device screenshots for visual regression checks
- Debug console access for BrightScript and channel diagnostics
- npm roku-mcp v1.3.2 with ROKU_DEVICE_HOST and optional ROKU_DEVICE_PASSWORD env configuration
- Published version 1.3.2 on npm identifier roku-mcp
- Stdio MCP transport
- Environment variables: ROKU_DEVICE_HOST, optional secret ROKU_DEVICE_PASSWORD
What problem does it solve?
Roku channel developers waste cycles manually sideloading, button-mashing remotes, and screenshotting TVs when agents could run repeatable device checks.
Who is it for?
Solo Roku channel authors testing on a dedicated dev Roku on the same network as their workstation.
Skip if: Builders with no Roku target, or teams needing cloud CI farm devices without local hardware.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registration, your agent can deploy builds and exercise the device through MCP tools while you focus on fixes instead of remote choreography.
- Agent-driven deploy and navigation runs against a physical Roku
- Screenshots and debug console captures for test documentation and fixes
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Ship because Roku builders reach for device automation when verifying builds on real hardware before release, not during initial ideation. Testing fits deploy-to-device, visual checks, and debug-console validation—the loop between sideload and store-ready confidence.
How it compares
Hardware-specific MCP bridge for Roku ECP, not a generic mobile app store or Firebase test lab integration.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is RokuMCP for?
It is for Roku channel developers using MCP-enabled coding agents who want automated deploy, navigation, screenshots, and debug access on a real device.
When should I use RokuMCP?
Use it in Ship and testing iterations when you need repeatable on-device verification before submission—not for unrelated web SaaS projects.
How do I add RokuMCP to my agent?
Install roku-mcp from npm, set ROKU_DEVICE_HOST (and ROKU_DEVICE_PASSWORD if required), add the stdio MCP server config, ensure your Roku developer mode is enabled, then call the server tools from your agent.
