Create a Skill with Wolfram Cloud MCP

In the post on Wolfram Cloud MCP, we are using the following prompt to create and display the plot in Ghostty. Use the Wolfram to generate a plot of Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 10}]. Take the resulting output URL or image payload and display it inline using your image-view tool. Clearly, it is too tedious to write a prompt this long every time, and we can create a skill to simplify it. A skill is essentially a series instruction for AI agents to perform multiple-step workflow. ...

Test Wolfram Cloud MCP with pi.dev

I have tested the local MCP server on Mac, and today I am testing Wolfram Cloud MCP server in ChromeOS Flex, currently it free for the personal use. To use MCP in pi.dev, install npm:pi-mcp-extension first. Here is the minimum configuration for mcp.json. 1{ 2 "settings": { 3 "toolPrefix": "mcp", 4 "requestTimeoutMs": 30000, 5 "maxRetries": 5 6 }, 7 "mcpServers": { 8 "wolfram": { 9 "transport": "streamable-http", 10 "url": "https://agenttools.wolfram.com/mcp", 11 "lifecycle": "eager" 12 } 13 } 14} Ghostty terminal supports the Kitty graphics protocol to display inline images directly within the terminal, it will be nice if we can display the plots generated from the Wolfram Cloud. ...

Fix Open Configuration in Ghostty

Ghostty has a shortcut “Ctrl+,” to open the configuration file, under ChromeOS Flex, this short does nothing. To find out which application opens the configuration file, run the following command: xdg-open ~/.config/ghostty/config It opens the file with Emacs in terminal mode on my machine, and setting it to open with the normal Emacs solves the issue. xdg-mime default emacs.desktop text/plain Linux under ChromeOS runs inside a container sandbox, it has many quirks that are unique to this environment, so far nothing has been a deal-breaker yet.

How to Fix Terminal Flickering in ChromeOS with Ghostty

When running pi.dev in the default terminal and Tilix, I occasionally hit severe screen flickering and text jumping. It happens most often while the model is waiting for user input. According to Gemini AI, the default terminal struggles with rapid frame redraws inside the Crostini Linux container. It is not a deal-breaker, but it is annoying enough for my old eyes. ...
