A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for integrating Omarchy desktop environment theme management with AI assistants like Claude.

Omarchy MCP enables AI assistants to manage themes in Omarchy - a Linux desktop environment that supports extensive theme customization including color schemes, backgrounds, and UI elements.

With this MCP server, AI assistants can:

• List themes with flexible filtering (installed, available, built-in, removable)
• Query the currently active theme
• Switch between installed themes
• Preview theme images before applying them
• Install new themes from GitHub repositories
• Remove installed extra themes
• Rotate background images

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "omarchy": {
      "description": "Manage Omarchy Desktop Themes",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "omarchy-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Or paste server configuration into llms .py MCP Servers:

Name: omarchy-mcp

{
  "description": "Manage Omarchy Desktop Themes",
  "command": "uvx",
  "args": [
    "omarchy-mcp"
  ]
}

For development, you can run this server using uv:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/ServiceStack/omarchy-mcp",
        "omarchy-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
{
  "command": "uv",
  "args": [
    "run",
    "--directory",
    "/home/mythz/src/ServiceStack/omarchy-mcp",
    "omarchy-mcp"
  ]
}

You can make your AI a more pleasant and personable Omarchy assistant by configuring it with a custom system prompt. The linked system prompt below creates "Archy" - a friendly, conversational assistant that knows Omarchy well and responds naturally to voice commands.
