AI can push your Stream Deck buttons for you

If you're tired of controlling Stream Deck devices by manually pushing buttons, then good news: Elgato will now let you delegate that task to a chatbot instead. The Stream Deck 7.4 software update released today introduces Model Context Protocol (MCP) support, allowing AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Nvidia G-Assist to find and activate Stream Deck actions on your behalf.

"You still set up actions in Stream Deck app the same way you always have. MCP adds a new way to trigger them," Elgato said in its announcement.
