Tesserae

[!IMPORTANT] This repository has moved into the main Tesserae repo. Development now happens at dmellok/tesserae → packages/tesserae-mcp. This repo is archived and read-only; it is kept only so existing installs and pinned tags keep resolving. It will not receive further updates.

Install

pip install tesserae-mcp

It is published to PyPI from the monorepo. To install from source:

pip install "git+https://github.com/dmellok/tesserae#subdirectory=packages/tesserae-mcp"

What it is

The stdio MCP bridge that lets an AI agent (Claude Code / Desktop, Codex, Cursor, or any MCP client) build Tesserae canvas dashboards: it lists your widgets and devices, lays out a canvas, renders a preview to check its own work, and pushes to a panel. It is a thin client over a running Tesserae's /api/mcp HTTP surface, so the rendering, widgets, and devices come from your own instance.

Docs

• MCP servers (install & configure): https://docs.tesserae.ink/dev/mcp-servers/
• Build dashboards with AI: https://docs.tesserae.ink/dev/mcp/

Why it moved

The bridge is a thin client over Tesserae's /api/mcp surface, so keeping it in the same repo holds its tool list and doc-shape in lockstep with the server and tests both in one CI run. It still ships a thin wheel (stdlib plus the mcp SDK only), so an agent-machine install stays light.

Existing pip install git+https://github.com/dmellok/tesserae-mcp commands and the v* tags in this repo continue to work but are frozen. Switch to pip install tesserae-mcp to track new releases.
