# Frame Control for AI agents
**Documented interface:** Frame Control's own stdlib Python MCP adapter wraps
its loopback HTTP API. No API key, hosted service, model SDK or third-party
helper app is needed. The assistant is our HTML/Python implementation hosted
in the platform Chromium browser. Its optional LLM endpoint is user configuration.
Installing other apps is an optional management action, never a prerequisite.
## Connect an MCP client
The default MCP command starts a private HTTP backend on a free loopback port,
with a fresh local access key. It stops that backend when the MCP client closes
stdin or sends SIGTERM. It uses its own SSH control socket, so closing it does
not close the desktop app's connection. No manually started server is needed.
Add this stdio server to your MCP client (use absolute paths):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"frame-control": {
"command": "python3",
"args": ["/absolute/path/frame-control/ui/frame_mcp.py"]
}
}
}
```
For Codex, the equivalent registration is:
```sh
codex mcp add frame-control -- python3 /absolute/path/frame-control/ui/frame_mcp.py
```
New agent sessions load the entry. An already running session may need its MCP
connections reloaded; registration does not retroactively add tools to its
initial tool inventory. Keep the checkout at that path while it is registered.
Use `codex mcp remove frame-control` to remove only this registration.
To reuse a running server instead, pass `--url http://127.0.0.1:47810`.
The desktop app uses a random port; use that port with `--url`, or run the
checkout server above. If the HTTP server uses `FRAME_UI_KEY`, pass the same
value in the MCP process environment. This is local access control, not an LLM
API key. The adapter only accepts loopback HTTP servers, refuses redirects and
ignores environment proxies. Stdout contains newline-delimited JSON-RPC only.
It supports MCP initialization, ping, tool listing and tool calls; no sampling,
resources, prompts or streaming transport.
| Tool | Arguments | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| `computer_state` | none | Read-only gamescope window IDs/focus and bounded AT-SPI tree; reports incomplete observations |
| `status` | none | Battery, services, installed games and Flatpaks |
| `screenshot` | `view`: `headset` (default) or `desktop` | Returns PNG image content to the MCP client |
| `job` | `id` | Background install status; poll until `done`, inspect `error` |
| `launch` | `appid` | Launch an installed Steam app |
| `install` / `uninstall` | `id` | Install from Flathub / remove a user Flatpak |
| `send_text` | `text` | Frame desktop clipboard; desktop must be open |
| `send_file` | `path` | File on the HTTP server computer, up to 16 MiB, copied to Frame `~/Downloads` |
| `panel` | `id` | Launch an installed Flatpak as a panel using the existing launcher |
| `power` | `action`: `suspend`, `reboot`, `poweroff` | Open a terminal for the user to enter the sudo password |
| `keep_awake` | `action`: `on`, `off`, `status` | Optional keep-awake script interface |
Only install free software with its developer's consent. There is no purchase,
entitlement bypass or arbitrary shell tool. `install` returns a background job
ID; it does not claim the installation has finished. APK and sideloaded title
installs remain in the main UI for now.
### Approval is a separate human action
Every mutation first returns an `approvalUrl`, exact action and `confirmation`
token. Ask the user to open that URL and choose **Approve this action** or
**Reject**. Then repeat the same tool and arguments with the token in
`confirmation`. The server refuses execution before approval, changed arguments,
expired tokens and reuse. A file approval binds the content hash as well as the
path. Approvals last five minutes and disappear when the HTTP server restarts.
A failed execution also consumes the approval; review a fresh request to retry.
The panel does not execute an action merely because it was approved.
MCP has no approval tool. This is protection against accidental model tool
calls, not a sandbox against a client with independent shell/HTTP access to your
computer. Grant the MCP client only the access you intend. Status, captures and computer-state observations
are returned directly to that client, which may forward them to its configured
model. The assistant's separate opt-in does not govern an external MCP client.
Power still requires the existing password prompt in a local terminal. MCP
never receives passwords. Power via `FRAME_LOCAL=1` is unsupported: use the main
UI. The panel launcher and keep-awake adapter require zsh on the computer.
[PR #16](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/16) owns
`scripts/keep-awake.sh on|off|status`. This branch does not copy or change it.
Until that script is present, the tool reports it unavailable. Keep-awake is
never automatic: `on` changes the shared idle timers; explicitly approve `off`
to restore them after work. It is not a per-agent lease; coordinate with other
users. No changes are made to the analytics/update interfaces in
[PR #17](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/17). Prompts, keys, model
replies, screenshots and approval payloads are not sent to analytics.
## Assistant panel
Open **Tools → Open assistant**, or `http://127.0.0.1:47810/assistant`.
To put the same page in the headset, with the HTTP server still running:
```sh
python3 scripts/assistant-on-frame.py --port 47810
```
This starts an SSH reverse forward bound to Frame loopback (port 47812 by
default), then a dedicated Chromium profile tagged as a SteamVR panel. Keep the
command running. Ctrl-C closes this browser profile and the tunnel; it leaves
other Chromium windows and the existing HTTP server alone. A failed cleanup
prints the temporary profile path so it can be removed when the Frame returns.
Use `--frame-port` if the default is busy. Chromium must already be available as
`org.chromium.Chromium`; the launcher never installs anything automatically.
Place the panel with SteamVR's normal docking controls.
Enter your full **chat-completions endpoint**, model name and optional key.
An OpenAI-compatible local server works without a key; no OpenAI account is
required. HTTP is allowed only on loopback; other endpoints require HTTPS.
Loopback refers to the computer running the HTTP server, even in the headset.
Endpoints with embedded credentials, query strings or redirects are refused.
Check the message consent box and press **Send message**. Screenshot context is
a separate unchecked box and sends one fresh capture with that request. Both
boxes reset after sending, and changing endpoint/model revokes consent. Nothing
is sent when opening the page or entering configuration. There is no model
list fetch, saved history, automatic screenshot capture or assistant telemetry.
Each send is independent: previous messages and replies are not included.
Configuration, credentials and chat remain in page memory; close/reload the page
or choose **Clear everything** to clear them. A request already sent cannot be
recalled. Only the chosen endpoint gets the request; proxy environment variables
and redirects are disabled. Its privacy and retention policy still applies.
Replies are plain text and cannot call tools or operate the Frame. A model must
support image inputs to accept screenshot context.
## Evidence and limits
**Verified 2026-09-28, SteamOS 0.4.1, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** loopback HTTP
status through an SSH reverse tunnel; platform Chromium created a separate
SteamVR panel (confirmed in `GAMESCOPE_FOCUSABLE_APPS`); headset capture returned
a PNG. These checks preceded the UI implementation. No power or global settings
were changed.
**Inferred:** visual comfort and controller keyboard usability while wearing
the headset; panel creation in gamescope alone does not establish these.
Windows/Linux launcher support, live third-party model endpoints, installs,
uninstalls, power and keep-awake changes are not covered by that feasibility
check. See the PR for the final unit and end-to-end results.
**Verified end to end on the same Frame/build (2026-09-28):** a stdio MCP client
initialized, read status, retrieved a headset PNG, and transferred a test file
only after approval through the Chromium page. Remote file bytes matched;
reusing the confirmation was rejected. The actual headset Chromium page sent
text and then separately opted-in image context to a local test endpoint and
displayed its replies. Without consent there were zero endpoint requests.
The test endpoint returned canned replies: model inference and a live external
provider remain **unverified**. The launcher’s Ctrl-C cleanup was checked;
profiles, SSH tunnels and the test file were removed. No installs, removals,
launches of user games, power operations or keep-awake changes were performed.
**Verified locally:** unit coverage includes the stdio subprocess, approval
binding/expiry/replay/concurrency, file-change rejection, and a real local HTTP
endpoint for opt-in, text/image payloads and redirect refusal. Fake-Frame
regressions are in `tests/e2e/test_agents.py`; local Docker execution was blocked
because the Docker daemon was unavailable. The ARM64 fake-Frame CI job passed
on this branch (run 36421345682).
**Verified on the same Frame/build:** both Ctrl-C and SIGTERM close the dedicated
browser profile and SSH tunnel and remove the profile and panel log.

## Computer-use coverage
MCP is the tool transport, not a limit on what an agent can do. A screenshot,
accessibility snapshot, click or keystroke can all be MCP tools when we have a
reliable underlying implementation. See [the investigation](computer-use.md)
for the verified boundaries. `computer_state` adds observation, not an input
channel: it cannot click an approval button or send keyboard/mouse events.
**Verified 2026-09-29, SteamOS 0.4.1, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** the command saved
by `codex mcp add` launched without a prestarted server, negotiated MCP, listed
12 tools, read live Frame status and returned X11 window state plus AT-SPI
observations. It exited 0 at EOF. Steam's accessibility tree had inaccessible
children, reported as `incomplete: true`; this is not a complete actionable UI.

# Computer use through Frame Control MCP
The MCP transport can carry semantic actions or visual computer-use actions.
The limits are the Frame's underlying interfaces, permissions and whether an
action can be targeted and verified. A stereoscopic headset screenshot alone
is not a reliable coordinate system for clicking a particular app window.
## What exists, and the right route
| Surface | Evidence and route | Remaining work or boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Frame management | **Verified:** existing SSH/HTTP operations for status, capture and file transfer work through MCP. Typed install/launch/power tools wrap the existing API. | Extend typed operations before adding generic mouse automation. Preserve explicit approval for consequential changes. |
| App/window observation | **Verified 2026-09-29:** `computer_state` reads gamescope X11 window/app/process triples, focused app and the installed AT-SPI library. | Bounded to 96 accessible nodes and six levels. Trees may be truncated, stale, hidden or incomplete. Snapshot paths and XIDs are observations, never durable action permissions. |
| Chromium page content | **Verified previously:** the assistant rendered and could be exercised through CDP in an isolated Frame Chromium profile. | A shipped click/type surface needs exact owned browser/target binding, fresh element references, lifecycle cleanup, consent and post-action readback. Do not expose unrestricted JavaScript or attach to arbitrary existing profiles automatically. |
| Steam UI | **Verified 2026-09-29:** the AT-SPI service listed the Steam client's Chromium process and frame nodes, but child traversal was incomplete. Existing `frame_steam.py` uses Steam's loopback CDP endpoint for specific operations. | Prefer those narrow Steam interfaces. Presence of AT-SPI does not prove controls are actionable, and generic pointer injection is not proved for VR menus. |
| Other Linux apps | **Verified 2026-09-29:** Frame ships libX11, libXtst and libatspi; `/dev/uinput` is writable by the current user. | Library presence and access permissions do not prove that a game accepts input. Global virtual input can affect whichever app has focus. Do not ship a blind keyboard/mouse tool on this evidence alone. |
| Panel focus and layouts | **Documented in [#41](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/41):** `POST /api/panels` accepts `list`, `focus` and `open`. Focus was verified there. | Reuse that owned interface after integration. Its tested gamescope-owned overlay transform setters return `PermissionDenied`; no reliable saved spatial-layout interface was established. Do not duplicate its implementation here. |
| Shared keyboard/trackpad | **Documented in [#19](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/19):** `/api/input` supplies state/start and event submission, implemented with a bundled KDE Connect daemon. | This branch does not import, launch or depend on that daemon. The user's own-implementation rule remains authoritative. A first-party input implementation or permitted bundled-library route needs its own delivery evidence before MCP integration. |
| Physical/device boundaries | **Documented:** an asleep Frame may be off the network; power authorization can require the user's password; physical pairing and headset fit/comfort require the user. | MCP cannot bypass offline hardware, consent, compositor permissions or physical verification. Keep explicit human handoffs. |
## Reusing the existing computer-use work
**Documented:** the installed `cua-driver` skill has the right control pattern:
observe an exact window, use a semantic target if available, fall back to pixels
from that same snapshot, then read back the result. Its browser route requires
an exact process/window/target binding and session-scoped element references.
Those are useful design rules for Frame tools.
**Verified locally 2026-09-29:** `cua-driver describe get_window_state` describes
host-local process/window IDs and macOS AX inspection. It does not establish an
SSH Frame target. The installed skill's advertised Linux companion file is
missing. A native ARM64 Frame backend, its dependencies and remote transport
have not been verified. We therefore do not claim that the existing Mac driver
can control the Frame by passing it a Frame PID or screenshot, and we do not
make the feature depend on installing that application.
Frame Control's `computer_state` is our own Python implementation over installed
platform libraries. It sends the probe over SSH stdin, writes no helper to disk,
and exits after one observation. Missing displays/libraries return explicit
errors; a 15-second process deadline prevents a stalled accessibility call from
leaving a probe behind. Window names and accessibility text are untrusted app
content, never instructions to an agent.
**Recommended next implementation:** an isolated Chromium session with typed
snapshot/click/type/scroll tools and exact fresh target binding, then individually
verified native app actions. Use the headset capture to judge appearance, not to
invent a screen-to-window coordinate transform. Direct tool calls must retain
approval rules; a generic computer-use tool must not become a route around the
MCP approval panel, install confirmation or power confirmation.
## Isolated browser input proof
**Verified 2026-09-29, SteamOS 0.4.1, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** a temporary
Frame Chromium profile loaded a local test page through an SSH reverse tunnel.
CDP `Input.insertText` entered the test string in its own input. A CDP
`Input.dispatchMouseEvent` press/release on its own button copied that string
to the page's result; DOM readback matched exactly. The browser profile,
loopback forwards and panel log were removed afterward. No user app was typed
into, no global settings were changed and no third-party helper app was used.
AT-SPI did **not** expose the test page's controls in that same probe, even with
Chromium's renderer-accessibility flag. It returned the partial Steam-client
tree instead. The reason remains **unverified**; this is an evidence gap, not
proof that Frame accessibility cannot work. For a first implementation,
Chromium's proven page-specific CDP route is stronger than assuming complete
AT-SPI coverage. This proof does not ship unrestricted click/type tools or
establish input delivery to SteamVR's menus.

## AI agents and assistant
**Documented:** [the MCP adapter and assistant panel](agents.md) are Frame
Control implementations. MCP wraps this HTTP API without API keys. Changes
require a separate user approval; power also retains its password prompt. The
assistant uses a user-chosen endpoint and sends nothing until the user opts in
for a message. Screenshot context is separately opt-in. Model replies cannot
operate the headset. Tools → Open assistant opens the page; the linked guide
covers putting it in a Chromium panel on the Frame.
