Summary
Turns Claude into a remote control for Android TV and Google TV boxes anywhere on the internet. The bridge app runs on your television, connects outbound to a relay at tv.djwizard.ai, and exposes 38 MCP tools covering playback (send keys, launch apps, open deep links), content discovery (resolve "Scrubs S2E5" to Netflix or Disney+ URIs via TMDB and JustWatch), screen observation (read foreground app and UI nodes), and device management. No port forwarding or VPN required. The title resolution works across Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, Max, Apple TV+, and falls back to Stremio for titles missing from regional catalogs. Useful if you want conversational TV control from your phone while traveling or want to script routines that span smart home scenes and media playback.

What it is
TVWizard turns any Claude-compatible AI chat into a universal remote. Pair your Android TV or Google TV once with a 6-digit code, and from that moment on you can say "put on Scrubs S2E5" or "turn the bedroom TV off" from your phone, your laptop, your car — anywhere you talk to Claude.
It works through the Model Context Protocol, the emerging standard for AI agents controlling real-world tools.

The bridge connects outbound to the relay — no port forwarding, no VPN, no same-Wi-Fi requirement. Your TV at home obeys commands from your phone abroad.
Install (5 minutes)
- Get the bridge APK from the latest release. Install on your Android TV or Google TV. (Sideload instructions in docs/install-bridge.md.)
- Open the app, tap Pair. The TV shows a 6-digit code.
- Go to tv.djwizard.ai/claim.html, type the code, pick a device name (e.g.
living-room). Copy the bearer token + the Claude Desktop config snippet it generates. - Paste into Claude Desktop (see docs/claude-desktop.md). Restart the app.
- Talk to your TV. Try: "What's on my living-room TV right now?" or "Put on Stranger Things season 1 episode 1."
MCP tools
| Tool | What |
|---|---|
tv.list_devices | Lists TVs paired to your account. |
tv.send_key | Sends a key: POWER, HOME, UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT, OK, BACK, VOL_UP/DOWN. |
tv.launch_app | Opens an Android Intent — YouTube deep links, Netflix titles, any HTTPS URL. |
tv.list_apps | Enumerates installed apps so your AI knows what's available. |
tv.play_title | Resolves "Scrubs S2E5" to a country-specific provider deep link (Netflix, Disney+, Max, Apple TV+, and more) via TMDB + JustWatch. |
tv.observe | Reads back the TV screen state: foreground app, focused element, visible clickable nodes. |
Full reference with examples: docs/mcp-tools.md.
Supported providers
tv.play_title resolves titles via TMDB → JustWatch → a region-aware Android package map, with a 60-day cache. Streaming catalogs vary by country; Stremio (virtual, IMDB-keyed) fills gaps where JustWatch coverage is patchy.
| Category | Providers |
|---|---|
| Subscription | Netflix, Disney+ (MEA-aware), Prime Video, Max, Hulu, Apple TV+, Paramount+, Peacock, fuboTV |
| Free / ad-supported | YouTube |
| Virtual (IMDB-keyed) | Stremio |
