03 · What Pixoo MCP Server 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 load an image (absolute local path or https URL), resize it to the LED grid, and push it. Returns the downsampled result as an image, set or clear a device-native scrolling text overlay. Uses device-rendered fonts, and read or change device state: brightness, screen on/off, channel, or clock face. Call with no params for a status read.
