What is the Embedded / IoT Mentor MCP Server?

Embedded/IoT mentor: picks the board and toolchain, estimates cost and battery life.

What you get

A skill for Claude that acts as an experienced embedded-systems mentor: it picks the microcontroller, board, and toolchain for your project, estimates what it will cost and how long it will take, and hands you a build plan that stops at a working breadboard instead of a production line you didn't ask for.

  • Picks a platform — — ESP32, Pico, STM32, nRF52 — and says plainly why that one, plus one
  • Separates the hardware path from the firmware path — , so you know what to buy and what to
  • Checks whether you need to write firmware at all. — If ESPHome, Meshtastic or Tasmota
  • Takes the reading all the way to a person — — Home Assistant, a page the device serves
  • Estimates time and cost — as ranges, and flags what actually drives them — including
  • Says what a sensor really measures. — Cheap "NPK" probes read conductivity and guess;

Recorded tools

Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.

ToolWhat it does
embedded-iot-mentor.skill**Generated.** A zip of the folder above — don't edit by hand.
package_skill.pyBuilds, verifies, and installs the bundle.
embedded-iot-mentor-demo.gifThe recording shown at the top. Not bundled — the packer only takes the skill folder.
universal-prompt.mdThe same mentor as a copy-paste prompt, for any AI chat that isn't Claude.
create_skill_demo_gif.pyGenerates a mock-up demo GIF (assets/skill-demo-mockup.gif) from a scripted scenario, for when a real recording isn't available.
render.yamlBlueprint behind the one-click deploy of that server. Has to sit at the root for Render to find it.

Example prompts to try

  • “Use Embedded / IoT Mentor to Where.”
  • “Use Embedded / IoT Mentor to Claude.”
  • “Use Embedded / IoT Mentor to ChatGPT.”
