You did not need to set up the MCP server extensions?
I went through that exercise a while back to allow Claude to interact
with webpages so I could expose it to Interactive Fiction. It was
entertaining watching it play some games.
I taught it to generate the text file based KiCad formats as well. But
sadly it is not capable of retaining that training to be used across
sessions.

Like magic - Codex/Claude can not only use the socket interface, it
manages to correctly update the GUI to reflect whatever it's doing
over the socket.
I just observed it enter BASIC, and type a test program
"""
10 PRINT "HELLO FROM MCP"
20 FOR I = 1 TO 3
30 PRINT I
40 NEXT I
50 END
"""
In not too long - I think this will be working flawlessly.

You have to first use the GUI to enable the socket interface and
then quit so that option is saved.

Not an issue for me. These days, my OS of choice is Debian
GNU/Linux.
I was able to checkout and build the code easily enough and apply
the patch. However, the TCP port doesn't open for me when I use
`virtualt -nogui`. Am I using the wrong repository? This is what
I'm doing:
```console
$ git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/virtualt/code virtualt
$ sudo apt install libjpeg-dev libxft-dev libxinerama-dev
libfltk1.4-dev
$ cd virtualt
$ make
$ telnet localhost 2023
Connection failed: Connection refused

A big thank you, Ken, for the snippet. I've committed it to
my repo just to keep things up to date.
How does your repository differ from the one at sf.net/p/virtualt
<http://sf.net/p/virtualt>? Asking Google for "Virtual-T, Joshua
O'Keefe" gave me an AI response about the human response to mazes
and a suggestion that perhaps I was looking to Build a Better
World through Irish Folk Music.
