Serial MCP Server

Let AI agents interact with serial devices — list ports, connect, send, and read.

The short version

A stateful serial port Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for developer tooling and AI agents. Works out of the box with Claude Code, VS Code with Copilot, and any MCP-compatible runtime. Communicates over stdio and uses pyserial for cross-platform serial on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

• Develop and debug — — connect to your device, send commands, read responses, and diagnose issues conversationally (boot banners, prompts, error codes)
• Iterate on new firmware — — attach a protocol spec so the agent understands your command set, boot modes, and output format as they evolve
• Automate test flows — — reset device via DTR, wait for prompt, run a command sequence, validate output
• Explore unknown devices — — probe command sets, discover prompts, infer message formats
• Build serial automation — — long-running test rigs, manufacturing bring-up, CI hardware smoke tests
