### Description (declared)

# DLI Power Switch MCP Server

## Overview

This project implements a **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server that allows an AI agent to control [**Digital Loggers (DLI)** Web Power Switches](https://www.digital-loggers.com/LPC9.html). The system provides tools for discovering hardware, querying outlet status, and performing power operations (On/Off/Cycle).

**Crucial Constraint:** This system interacts with physical hardware. Strict safety protocols are enforced to prevent accidental power loss to critical infrastructure.

## Key Files

* **`server.py`**: The main entry point. Contains the FastMCP server implementation, tool definitions, and hardware interaction logic using the [`power-switch-pro`](https://pypi.org/project/power-switch-pro/) library.
* **`switches_config.json`**: The source of truth for device configuration. Defines IP addresses, authentication, outlet aliases, and safety types (`standard`, `critical`, `prohibited`).
* **`requirements.txt`**: Python dependencies (`power-switch-pro`).
* **`tests/`**: Unit tests for the server logic.

## Architecture & Performance

This server is designed for responsiveness and safety:

* **Asynchronous Core:** Built on Python's `asyncio` to handle multiple operations efficiently.
* **Non-Blocking I/O:** Interactions with physical hardware (which can be slow) are offloaded to background threads, ensuring the main server loop remains responsive.
* **Parallel Discovery:** The `get_inventory` tool fetches status from all configured switches concurrently, significantly reducing latency in systems with multiple devices.

## Installation

Install this server from PyPI using pip:

```bash
pip install dli-mcp-server
```

### Configuring with Gemini CLI (and Antigravity)

Once installed, register the server with the Gemini CLI (or Antigravity) using the `mcp add` command. This ensures the server starts automatically.

```bash
gemini mcp add dli-mcp-server dli-mcp-server -e DLI_MCP_CONFIG="/path/to/your/config.json"
```
