🎨 Strands Fun Tools

Creative and utility tools for Strands AI agents - Bluetooth, vision, cursor control, audio, and more!

🔌 Use as an MCP server

Use strands-fun-tools from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Kiro, or any MCP client — every available tool (cursor, clipboard, chess, bluetooth, screen_reader, yolo_vision, take_photo, listen, dialog, and more) becomes an MCP tool.

claude mcp add fun -- uvx strands-fun-tools

Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fun": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["strands-fun-tools"]
    }
  }
}

Options:

strands-fun-tools --tools cursor,clipboard,take_photo   # expose a subset
strands-fun-tools --skip bluetooth,chess                # drop groups
strands-fun-tools --http --port 8000                    # HTTP mode, multi-client

Tool groups import lazily — groups whose optional deps aren't installed are skipped automatically. Install extras for more tools: uvx --with 'strands-fun-tools[all]' strands-fun-tools
