c64_select_backend
Switch the active backend between C64U/U64 hardware, U2-family cartridges, and the VICE emulator at runtime.
How to use it
Project documentation lists c64_select_backend for the C64bridge MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
