Ikenga iyke — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
Control a running Ikenga desktop application via MCP with DOM inspection, clicks, text typing, navigation, and screenshots.
claude mcp add mcp-iyke -- npx -y @ikenga/mcp-iykeWhat Ikenga iyke (control bridge) does
This bridge connects AI coding agents to an active Ikenga desktop shell. Through the MCP protocol, an assistant inspects DOM nodes, navigates between internal views, clicks UI elements, and types into fields. It also captures window screenshots to let models verify the interface layout.
The server is maintained inside the official ikenga-pkgs Apache-2.0 monorepo and distributed via npm as @ikenga/mcp-iyke. The tool relies on a running instance of the ikenga desktop program; attempting to execute actions without the shell active fails.
What it helps with
- click buttons and interactive controls inside the running Ikenga app
- type text input directly into open desktop views
- capture screenshots of the active workspace window
- read and traverse DOM elements within the desktop client
Example prompts for the agent
- Take a screenshot of the active Ikenga window and describe the layout
- Inspect the DOM in Ikenga and click the primary submit button
- Navigate to the settings panel in the running desktop app and fill in the field
