Ask an assistant to change the dashboard on an old Kindle's e-ink screen.
Independent community project. Device reports come from the original sources, not testing by Deviceways.
How to get started
Run the local renderer and MCP server, then open its page in the Kindle browser. Follow the port-80 notes for EY21.
- Setup
- Local MCP server and Kindle browser
- You’ll need
- Python, an MCP client such as Claude Code or Codex, and a Kindle on the same trusted network.
A jailbroken display client is optional. The dashboard server has no authentication; keep it on a trusted local network.
