About dittu
dittu connects an Android phone’s camera and Bluetooth controls to an AI assistant, allowing it to see and operate a computer through the monitor. It is intended for desktop tasks, including computers where software cannot be installed, and requires no target-computer installation or remote-desktop setup.
Key features
- 01View a monitor through the phone camera
- 02Mouse and keyboard input over Bluetooth
- 03Coordinate-grid and crosshair screenshots
- 04Monitor-corner calibration controls
Use cases
- 01Automate repetitive desktop tasks
- 02Operate a computer where software cannot be installed
- 03Inspect the screen before clicking
- 04Correct camera-to-monitor alignment
MCP support
The remote MCP endpoint at `https://app.dittu.org/mcp` exposes screenshot, mouse, keyboard, scrolling, and calibration tools to AI assistants. It uses Streamable HTTP and bearer authorization.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

From the project READMEDittu MCP Server
Dittu turns a phone into the eyes and hands of an AI assistant. Stand the phone on a tripod facing a monitor — the camera reads the screen, Bluetooth pairs as a real mouse and keyboard. No software to install on the target computer, no remote-desktop setup.

Tools
| Tool | What it does | Output | When to use |
|---|---|---|---|
take_screenshot | Captures what the phone's camera currently sees on the monitor | Image | Before any action, to check current screen state |
take_screenshot_with_grid | Same as take_screenshot but overlays a coordinate grid | Image | To locate exact click targets by coordinate |
take_screenshot_with_crosshair(nx, ny) | Zoomed crop around a point with a crosshair marking the target | Image | To verify the cursor will land exactly where intended, before clicking a small/important target |
get_raw_screenshot | Unprocessed camera frame, no corner-mapping applied | Image | Debugging camera alignment issues |
move_mouse(nx, ny) | Moves the cursor to a normalized screen coordinate without clicking | Confirmation | Positioning the cursor before a verified click |
click(nx, ny) | Left-clicks at a normalized screen coordinate | Confirmation | Standard click actions |
double_click(nx, ny) | Double left-clicks at a normalized screen coordinate | Confirmation | Opening files/apps, other double-click actions |
scroll | Scrolls the screen in a given direction | Confirmation | Navigating long pages or lists |
key | Sends a keyboard key or shortcut | Confirmation | Shortcuts, Enter, Escape, arrow keys, etc. |
type_text | Types a string of text via the Bluetooth keyboard | Confirmation | Filling in text fields, search boxes, documents |
get_corners | Reads the current four-corner monitor calibration | Coordinates | Diagnosing why clicks land off-target |
set_corners | Sets the four-corner monitor calibration | Confirmation | Fixing calibration when the camera view is misaligned or cropped |
Why a camera instead of screen-sharing?
Because it works on any computer — no software to install, no permissions to configure, no remote-desktop setup. If the monitor is in front of the phone, an AI assistant can see it and control it.
Built for
- Automating repetitive desktop tasks
- Controlling a computer you can't install anything on
- Letting an AI assistant actually do things on-screen, not just describe them

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
