Summary: camel-jbang - TUI embedded MCP server for AI agent screen
observation
Key: CAMEL-23606
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-23606
Project: Camel
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: camel-jbang
Reporter: Claus Ibsen
Add an embedded MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to the Camel TUI that
allows AI coding agents to observe the live TUI session.
When started with --mcp flag, the TUI exposes a Streamable HTTP MCP server on a
local port (default 8086) with tools to:
- Read the current screen content as plain text (tui_get_screen)
- Get recent key events / user interactions (tui_get_events)
- Query current navigation state - active tab, selected integration, etc.
(tui_get_state)
This enables agents to see what the user sees and understand their interactions
with the TUI. The server uses JDK built-in HttpServer with zero additional
dependencies, implementing the MCP Streamable HTTP transport (JSON-RPC 2.0 over
a single POST endpoint).
Future phases will add control tools (send keys, switch tabs) so agents can
also drive the TUI.
