What is the Local MCP Server?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for IoT device management. Enables AI assistants (Claude Desktop, LibreChat, Cline) to discover and control OpenBK (OpenBeken)

Configuration

  • Docker (recommended) or Python 3.11+ (for local use) - MQTT broker (optional - required only for MQTT tools) - OpenBK or Tasmota devices on the same local network - Tuya devices (WiFi models; optional - requires Tuya cloud API credentials) - nmap - installed automatically in Docker; for local use, install via apt-get install nmap (may require root/sudo) Note on networking: Docker uses
