Description

name: glkvm description: Remotely control a target host via GLKVM HTTP API, supporting keyboard/mouse input, screenshot capture, OCR recognition, Fingerbot physical button control, and ATX power management. Access via HTTPS with certificate errors ignored.

GLKVM Control Skill

Initialization

The following steps must be performed at the start of each session:

Step 1: Get Connection Information

Ask the user for the following information (if not already provided):

  1. GLKVM IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.100)
  2. Login password (username is fixed as admin)

Step 2: Login to Obtain Token

curl -sk -c /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt \
  -F "user=admin" \
  -F "passwd=<PASSWORD>" \
  "https://<IP>/api/auth/login"
  • Response ok: true with a token indicates successful login; the auth_token is also saved in the cookie.
  • Response with two_step_required: true means waiting for two-step approval.
  • All subsequent requests must include -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt.

All requests use HTTPS with -k (ignore certificate errors).

Feature 1: Screenshot / View Current Screen

Capture and save a screenshot:

curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt \
  "https://<IP>/api/streamer/snapshot" \
  --output /tmp/glkvm_snapshot.jpg

Then use the Read tool to read /tmp/glkvm_snapshot.jpg to view the image content.

Get thumbnail (recommended for quick preview):

curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt \
  "https://<IP>/api/streamer/snapshot?preview=true&preview_max_width=1280&preview_max_height=720&preview_quality=80" \
  --output /tmp/glkvm_snapshot.jpg

Screenshot with OCR recognition (returns text):

curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt \
  "https://<IP>/api/streamer/snapshot?ocr=true&ocr_langs=chi_sim,eng"

Parameter description:

  • save=true: Save screenshot to device disk
  • load=true: Load previously saved screenshot without re-capturing
  • allow_offline=true: Allow response even when video stream is offline
  • ocr_left/ocr_top/ocr_right/ocr_bottom: OCR region coordinates (-1 = no crop)

Working principle: After taking a screenshot, you must use the Read tool to view the image, understand the current screen state, then decide the next action.

Feature 2: Keyboard Control

2a. Send Single Key

# Full click (press + release)
curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/hid/events/send_key?key=KEY_A"

# Press only
curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/hid/events/send_key?key=KEY_A&state=true"

# Release only
curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/hid/events/send_key?key=KEY_A&state=false"

Common key names (USB HID keycodes):

  • Letters: KEY_A ~ KEY_Z

curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/hid/events/send_shortcut?keys=MetaLeft,KeyL"

# Alt+F4
curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/hid/events/send_shortcut?keys=AltLeft,F4"

The keys parameter is comma-separated, following the Web KeyboardEvent.code specification: ControlLeft, ShiftLeft, AltLeft, MetaLeft, KeyAKeyZ, Digit0Digit9, F1~F12, Enter, Escape, Backspace, Tab, Space, Delete, etc.

2c. Type Text String

curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
  --data-raw "Hello, World!" \
  "https://<IP>/api/hid/print"

  -H "Content-Type: text/plain" \
  --data-raw "Hello" \
  "https://<IP>/api/hid/print?slow=true"

Query parameters:

  • limit (int, default 1024): Maximum characters to send, 0 = unlimited
  • keymap: Key mapping name
  • slow (bool): Slow mode, adds delay per key

Note: Only characters present in the keymap are supported; special characters such as Chinese cannot be typed directly.

2d. Reset HID (Release All Keys)

curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/hid/reset"

Call this when keys are stuck or the state is abnormal.

2e. Check HID Status

curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt \
  "https://<IP>/api/hid"

Returns keyboard/mouse online status, LED indicators (CapsLock/NumLock/ScrollLock), and mouse positioning mode (absolute/relative).

Feature 3: Mouse Control

3a. Mouse Button Click

# Left click
curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/hid/events/send_mouse_button?button=left"

  "https://<IP>/api/hid/events/send_mouse_button?button=left&state=false"

3b. Absolute Mouse Move (for absolute positioning mode)

Coordinate system: (0,0) = screen center; (-32768,-32768) = top-left; (32767,32767) = bottom-right

# Move to screen center
curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/hid/events/send_mouse_move?to_x=0&to_y=0"

# Move to top-left corner
curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/hid/events/send_mouse_move?to_x=-32768&to_y=-32768"

Pixel coordinate conversion (screen resolution W x H, target pixel px, py):

to_x = round(px / W * 65535 - 32768)
to_y = round(py / H * 65535 - 32768)

3c. Relative Mouse Move

# Move right 50, down 30

  • Requires Content-Length header (curl sets it automatically)
  • Firmware is saved to /userdata/update.img on the device
  • Response: result.filename (original filename) and result.size (bytes)

7e. Start Firmware Upgrade

# Upgrade and preserve existing config (default)
curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/upgrade/start?save_config=true"

# Upgrade and reset to factory defaults
curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/upgrade/start?save_config=false"
  • Must upload or download firmware first (step 7c or 7d)
  • Device reboots automatically after upgrade completes
  • Response: result.status ("Upgrade started" or "Upgrade failed"), result.stdout, result.stderr

Typical OTA upgrade workflow:

1. /api/upgrade/compare     → check if update available
2. /api/upgrade/download    → start background download
3. /api/upgrade/download_info (poll) → wait until size == total_size
4. /api/upgrade/start       → apply upgrade (device reboots)

Feature 8: MSD Remote ISO Download

Download an ISO image from a remote URL directly to the MSD storage, without transferring through the client machine.

8a. Remote Download to MSD

curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/msd/write_remote?url=http://example.com/ubuntu.iso"

# Specify target filename
curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/msd/write_remote?url=http://example.com/ubuntu.iso&image=ubuntu.iso"

# Skip TLS verification for HTTPS URLs
curl -sk -b /tmp/glkvm_cookies.txt -X POST \
  "https://<IP>/api/msd/write_remote?url=https://example.com/ubuntu.iso&insecure=1"

Query parameters:

  • url (required): Remote file download URL
  • image (optional): Target image name on MSD storage; auto-inferred from URL if omitted
  • prefix (optional): Subdirectory path prefix
  • insecure (optional): Skip TLS certificate verification, default false
  • timeout (optional): Connection timeout in seconds, default 10.0
  • remove_incomplete (optional): If 1, deletes partial file on write failure

Response: Streaming NDJSON (Content-Type: application/x-ndjson)

Each line is a JSON object reporting progress; the last line is the final result:

{"image": {"name": "ubuntu.iso", "size": 1234567890, "written": 102400000}}

Fields:

  • image.name: Image filename
  • image.size: Total file size in bytes (0 if server did not return Content-Length)
  • image.written: Bytes written so far

Error responses:

  • 400: Remote URL unreachable or request failed
  • 507: Insufficient storage space on MSD partition

Typical workflow for remote ISO installation:

1. /api/msd/partition_disconnect          → ensure drive is disconnected
2. /api/msd/write_remote?url=<ISO_URL>    → download ISO directly from internet
3. (Poll NDJSON stream until size == written)
4. /api/msd/partition_connect             → present drive to target host
5. (On target host) boot from USB drive, complete installation
6. /api/msd/partition_disconnect          → disconnect when done

Standard Operation Workflows

Click a Specific Position on Screen

1. Take screenshot -> View with Read tool -> Analyze target element pixel coordinates (px, py)
2. Confirm screen resolution W x H (inferred from screenshot image size)
3. Convert to HID coordinates:
