          To expand on @sdetweil’s post, the Magic Mirror framework is a web application. You can connect to it just like any other dynamic website.

          If you can configure your screensaver to load a web page, then you can point it at your Mirror’s IP address on port 8080 (by default) and it will show you the interface. You will have to modify the IP Whitelist to include your computer, but that’s pretty trivial.
