## MCP tools (11)

### `status` (~50 tokens)

What this OSCAR is

OSCAR's version, its ports (HTTP, the fixed OSC listening port, the socket bridge), whether editing is locked, the MIDI driver's condition, and how many projects and published interfaces there are. Start here.

### `list_projects` (~52 tokens)

The projects in OSCAR

Every project OSCAR holds, with its id and its title, as File > Open project or template lists them. A project is what a person edits; it reaches phones only once it is published (list_published).

### `read_project` (~102 tokens)

A project's widgets

Every widget in one project, published or not, with its full settings as the editor holds them: addresses, ports, channels, MIDI mappings, DMX targets. Also says where the project is published, if it is. A setting nobody touched reads as its default. What phones see is the published copy, which may be older: read_published reads that one.

Input parameters:

- `project` (string, required): The project's id, or its title, as list_projects gives them

### `list_published` (~84 tokens)

The published interfaces

Every published interface: its name, the project it was published from, the path it is served at, who can open it (access: "network", or "off" for one no device can open, whose schedules and bridges still run), and how many widgets it holds. Published interfaces are running -- phones and tablets may be on them, and the rig hears them.

### `read_published` (~67 tokens)

A published interface's widgets

Every widget on one published interface, with its full settings as phones have them: addresses, ports, channels, MIDI mappings, DMX targets. For answering why something does or does not respond.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): The published interface's id, as list_published names it

### `installation_map` (~152 tokens)

The installation, as OSCAR knows it

One picture of the whole installation: this computer's network addresses and ports, its MIDI ports and USB interfaces (a USB DMX interface among them), and everything the published interfaces talk to and listen for -- each OSC destination with the addresses sent to it, each MIDI port with its channels and controllers, each DMX output with its universe and channels -- with the control and interface behind every one. notices lists what does not add up: a MIDI port or USB interface that is not there, OSC followed while OSCAR cannot listen, two controls on the same DMX channels. It is worked out from settings and sends nothing onto the network: it says where OSCAR sends, not whether anything is there to hear it.

### `midi_ports` (~24 tokens)

The MIDI ports

The MIDI inputs and outputs this machine has right now, and the driver's condition.

### `recent_activity` (~187 tokens)

What the server has lately done

The network log's recent rows: what OSCAR's server actually received and sent, oldest first, repeats within a moment gathered into one row with a count n. Each row has what (OSC address, MIDI control, DMX universe and channels) and value (what the latest carried). Incoming rows: device (the sender's address, or the MIDI port), surfaces (published interfaces that follow it), canvas (the editor's canvas followed it); with neither, nothing follows it. Outgoing rows: to (where it went), origin (whose move: canvas, local, internet, schedule, bridge), surface (the published interface) and widget. dropped, on either, says why it was refused. The first place to look when something moves that should not, or does not move when it should.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): How many of the newest rows (default 50)

### `describe_widgets` (~46 tokens)

The widgets and how to write them

Every widget OSCAR has -- tag, attributes, defaults, and each setting with its type, options and meaning -- plus how an interface is written as HTML. Read this before building one.

### `validate_draft` (~57 tokens)

Judge a draft

Run an interface written as HTML through the widgets' own validators: unknown settings, values their panels would refuse, missing or repeated ids. Returns the complaints to correct. Nothing is saved.

Input parameters:

- `html` (string, required): The whole HTML document

### `create_draft` (~139 tokens)

Save a draft for the person to review

Validate an interface and, if it is clean, save it as a draft: it appears in OSCAR under File > Open project or template, with a Draft badge. It is a file for a person to review: nothing is published, nothing is sent, and no project is changed. An existing draft of the same name is only replaced when overwrite is true.

Input parameters:

- `html` (string, required): The whole HTML document
- `name` (string, required): The draft's name, shown in File > Open project or template (up to 80 characters; longer is cut)
- `overwrite` (boolean|string): Replace an existing draft of the same name

## Common questions

### What is the OSCAR MCP server?

OSCAR is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.trafalmejo/oscar. An assistant reads your OSCAR installation (OSC, MIDI, DMX) and drafts interfaces you review. This page covers its npm package (createwithoscar).

### Is the OSCAR MCP server safe to use?

OSCAR scores 86 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the OSCAR MCP server expose?

OSCAR exposes 11 tools: status, list_projects, read_project, list_published, read_published, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 960 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the OSCAR MCP server still maintained?

OSCAR is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the OSCAR MCP server under?

OSCAR declares the BSD-3-Clause licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
