signal_show

MCP tool from Open Compute MCP by ellmos-ai

Show the screen-usage signal overlay: glowing border + cursor ring colored per mode (control=red, observe=blue, …); persists in the server process.

How to use it

Project documentation lists signal_show for the Open Compute MCP 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.
