My monitor has 2 hdmi and 1 DP , DP is connected to Mac and one hdmi is connected to Fire tv. It would be great if I can use this app to switch between these inputs. Right now I have to reach to the monitor button to switch between inputs which is not so great experience and over time , I may also damage the button.

Describe the solution you'd like

I recommend using BetterDisplay - all MC features are there for free + there is DDC Input Select option as well (also free, no Pro license needed). To keep things simple, this feature is not planned for MonitorControl.
