README
Hyprland MCP Server
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b4fc1d26-ec04-451a-b7c9-7f87b44d9c9e
A lightweight, unofficial Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes all the functionality of hyprctl—the command-line interface for the Hyprland Wayland compositor—to language models.
This server enables natural language interfaces to query and control Hyprland's window management, layouts, inputs, and more.
Note: This project is experimental and in beta.
🚀 Quick Start
1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/stefanoamorelli/hyprmcp.git
cd hyprmcp
2. Grab your HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE
echo $HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE
3. Install the server in your MCP client
For example, in Claude Desktop, modify the ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json file as follows:
"Hyperland MCP Server": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"run",
"--with",
"mcp[cli]",
"--with",
"subprocess",
"mcp",
"run",
"<global path of the repo>/hyprmcp/hyprmcp/server.py"
],
"env": {
"PYTHONPATH": "<global path of the repo>/hyprmcp",
"HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE": "<your-hyprland-instance-signature>"
}
},
