# Roku Dev Studio

> A free, open-source (MIT) desktop application for macOS, Windows, and Linux that controls and develops on Roku devices — Remote Control, Device Discovery, App Sideloading, Network Inspection (local MITM HTTPS proxy), a socket-based BrightScript Debugger, Action Scripts automation, an MCP server for AI agents, and a `rds` terminal CLI. Works on the local network, over the internet via a bundled remote Relay Server, or against cloud-hosted virtual Rokus from a Roku Cloud Emulator (RCE) account.

Built by Paramount Engineering. Roku Dev Studio replaces terminal-only, IDE-locked Roku tooling with a single GUI: discover devices over SSDP, sideload and deep-link channels, inspect decrypted HTTPS traffic, attach a real socket debugger (breakpoints, step execution, variables), automate end-to-end test flows with Action Scripts, and let AI agents (Claude, Cursor, VS Code) drive a real device over MCP — all controllable locally, through a remote Relay Server for devices at other physical locations, or on Roku Cloud Emulator (RCE) virtual devices.
