Conduit

VNC Connections

Conduit supports VNC (Virtual Network Computing) connections, giving you remote graphical access to desktops and servers.

Authentication

VNC sessions authenticate using password authentication. Enter the VNC password when creating or editing a connection entry, and Conduit will handle the authentication handshake automatically.

Clipboard

Conduit provides bidirectional text clipboard sync between your local machine and the remote VNC session. Copying and pasting works seamlessly in both directions.

Input

Full mouse and keyboard input is supported for VNC sessions:

  • Mouse — click, double-click, drag, scroll, and movement are all forwarded to the remote session.
  • Keyboard — key press and release events are sent individually, along with text input support for typing naturally.

Screenshots

Capture screenshots of VNC sessions in PNG or JPEG format. JPEG captures support configurable quality control, letting you balance image fidelity against file size.

Display

Query the current session dimensions at any time. Use the full frame request to refresh the entire display, which is useful if the view gets out of sync or you need a clean capture.

Open in External App

From the entry dashboard, click Open in External App to launch the VNC connection in your system's default VNC viewer (Screen Sharing on macOS). This opens the session externally using the entry's configured host and port.

MCP Integration

AI agents connected via the MCP server can interact with VNC sessions programmatically. Available actions include:

  • Take screenshots of the remote desktop
  • Click at specific coordinates
  • Type text and send individual key presses
  • Move the mouse cursor
  • Drag between coordinates
  • Scroll the mouse wheel
  • Query session dimensions
