AI assistants on your TV
Link Claude to your TV once. After that you can ask it to put a recipe, a picture, a video or a small dashboard on the big screen, and to pause or stop it. It works over your home Wi‑Fi. Nothing goes through our servers.
What you need
- TeleQ open on your Android TV.
- A computer on the same Wi‑Fi that runs Claude Code or Claude Desktop, with Node.js 18.17 or newer.
1. Link your computer with the TV
On the TV, open Linked devices and choose Link an assistant. A 9‑digit code appears. Then, on the computer:
npx teleq-mcp pair
It finds the TV, asks for the code and stores a key in your user folder. The TV keeps only a hash of the key.
2. Add it to Claude
Claude Code
claude mcp add teleq -- npx -y teleq-mcp
Claude Desktop: add this to claude_desktop_config.json under mcpServers, then restart the app.
"teleq": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "teleq-mcp"] }
3. Ask
- “Show tonight's recipe on the TV.”
- “Put this photo on the TV.” (a public https link)
- “Play this stream on the TV, then pause it.”
- “Make a clock and weather board for the TV.”
You stay in control
- While an assistant's content is on screen, the TV shows who put it there. Back on the remote stops it.
- On the TV, Linked devices lists what is linked. Choose Unlink and the key stops working at once.
- Assistants can only load public https links. Addresses on your home network are refused.
- Web pages an assistant writes run in a sandbox without network access, storage or cookies.
Limits
- TeleQ must be open on the TV. It can't be woken from your computer.
- This works from computer apps on your Wi‑Fi (Claude Code, Claude Desktop). Claude on the web or phone, and ChatGPT, need an internet relay, which TeleQ does not have yet.
- YouTube and DRM services are not supported.
