Wait what just dropped - AI xLights connection

[coops]

Who made this! https://github.com/JohnBreault/xlights-mcp-server

This is prob one of the best things to happen to xLights. For those who don't know, this allows your AI (ChatGPT, Claude etc) to connect and interact with xLights. For example:

"Review and improve my 'Owl City - Lights Of Christmas' sequence":



Or, "i now have a matrix, can you fill out some effects for me":



Can it stuff it? Absolutely, but damn... its easier to edit and change something already there. Even software debugging might get easier if it gets extended to talk FPP.

looked in the xlights preferences recently?

Absolutely fair.

I kinda like the MCP option as you don't need to go through the API separate billing pay per use etc it'll work with say work with a Claude Code subscription of $30 a month and if you go over well you just hit the limit. It also has more power, it can create a sequence from scratch etc.
