Overview

Deskdrop is an Android keyboard application that integrates MCP (Model Context Protocol) to enable smart home control through Home Assistant. It allows users to interact with their smart devices directly from the keyboard interface, providing seamless control without switching between applications. The keyboard supports both local AI models (via Ollama) and cloud services, with MCP implementation specifically for Home Assistant integration.

Try asking AI

After installing, here are 5 things you can ask your AI assistant:

you:Control smart home devices from keyboard
you:Automate actions via AI tools integration
you:Use MCP for device-specific commands
you:Does this keyboard work offline?
you:Is my data sent anywhere during normal typing?

When to choose this

Choose Deskdrop if you want an AI-enhanced keyboard that integrates with your smart home system through MCP and prioritizes privacy with local processing options.

When NOT to choose this

Don't choose Deskdrop if you need keyboard functionality on iOS, require commercial support, or prefer solutions available directly through app stores.

FAQ

Does this keyboard work offline?
Yes, typing features work offline, but AI features require either a local server or cloud connection. ONNX runs fully on-device.
Is my data sent anywhere during normal typing?
No, normal typing stays local. AI features only send data when explicitly triggered.
