Crosspad MCP server

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• crosspad_apps

  List all registered CrossPad apps (found via REGISTER_APP macro or _register_*_app functions).

• crosspad_build

  Build crosspad-pc simulator (incremental, clean, or reconfigure)

• crosspad_build_check

  Quick health check: is the build up to date? Detects stale exe, new source files needing reconfigure, submodule drift, dirty working trees. Use before build to know what mode to use.

• crosspad_diff_core

  Show what changed in crosspad-core and/or crosspad-gui relative to the pinned submodule commit. Shows commits ahead/behind, changed files, uncommitted changes. Essential for dev-mode workflows.

• crosspad_idf_build

  Build the crosspad-idf ESP32-S3 firmware using idf.py. Use fullclean after adding new app directories or CMakeLists.txt changes.

• crosspad_inputwrite action

  Send input events to the running CrossPad simulator. Requires simulator to be running. Actions: click {x, y} — mouse click at window coordinates (490x680 window) pad_press {pad, vel} — press pad 0-15 with velocity 0-127 pad_release {pad} — release pad 0-15 encoder_rotate {delta} — rotate encoder (positive=CW, negative=CCW) encoder_press — press encoder button encoder_release — release encoder butt

• crosspad_interfaces

  Query crosspad-core interfaces and their implementations across all platforms. Use query="list" to list all interfaces, "implementations <InterfaceName>" to find implementations, or "capabilities" to show platform capability flags.

• crosspad_log

  Launch CrossPad.exe, capture stdout/stderr for a few seconds, then kill it. Great for checking init sequence, crash messages, or runtime errors without leaving the process running.

• crosspad_repos_status

  Show git status across all CrossPad repos (crosspad-core, crosspad-gui, crosspad-pc, ESP32-S3, 2playerCrosspad). Detects dev-mode vs submodule-mode and checks submodule pin sync.

• crosspad_runwrite action

  Launch the crosspad-pc simulator (bin/CrossPad.exe). Returns immediately with PID.

• crosspad_scaffold_app

  Generate boilerplate for a new CrossPad app (cpp, hpp, CMakeLists.txt, optional pad logic). Returns file contents for Claude to write — does NOT create files on disk.

• crosspad_screenshot

  Capture a screenshot from the running CrossPad simulator. Saves PNG to screenshots/ dir by default. Requires the simulator to be running (use crosspad_run first).

• crosspad_search_symbols

  Search for classes, functions, macros, enums across all CrossPad repos. Faster than manual grep — uses git grep under the hood.

• crosspad_settings

  Read or write CrossPad settings on the running simulator. Read: action="get", category="all"|"display"|"keypad"|"vibration"|"wireless"|"audio"|"system" Write: action="set", key="<setting_key>", value=<number> (booleans: 0/1) Writable keys: lcd_brightness (0-255), rgb_brightness (0-255), theme_color (0-255), perf_stats_flags (bitmask) kit (0-255), audio_engine (0/1) keypad.enable, keypad.inactive_l

• crosspad_stats

  Query runtime statistics from the running simulator. Returns: - Platform capabilities (active flags) - Pad state (16 pads: pressed, playing, note, channel, RGB color) - Active/registered pad logic handlers - Registered apps list - Heap stats (SRAM/PSRAM free/total) - Settings summary (brightness, theme, kit, audio engine)

• crosspad_test

  Build and run the Catch2 test suite. If no tests/ dir exists, tells you to scaffold. Supports filtering by test name.

• crosspad_test_scaffold

  Generate test infrastructure: tests/CMakeLists.txt (Catch2 v3), sample test file, and CMake patch instructions. Returns file contents — does NOT write to disk.
