The full story
The maker built a small MCP server that lets AI agents such as Claude draw on a Waveshare e-ink display. It runs on a Raspberry Pi over GPIO with a 7.5-inch V2 panel, Python and Waveshare's drivers, and exposes simple tools for drawing on and clearing the screen.
It is a simple MVP, but it works end to end: Claude calls the MCP tools and the e-paper display updates.
