### Description (declared)

# firmata-client-mcp

An [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that lets an LLM
control an Arduino's GPIO over the [Firmata](https://github.com/firmata/protocol) protocol.

Built on the [MCP Python SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk) and the
[`firmata-client`](https://pypi.org/project/firmata-client/) library. It exposes digital/analog
I/O, PWM, and basic servo control as MCP tools so an agent can read sensors and drive actuators
on a connected board.

> ⚠️ **This server lets an AI agent drive physical hardware.** Please read the
> [Safety](#safety) section before connecting a board.

## Features

- Discover serial ports and connect to a board running **StandardFirmata**
- Query board capabilities (firmware, pin modes, analog mapping)
- Digital read / write
- Analog (ADC) read with sample averaging
- PWM (analog) write
- Servo control with a settable "origin" reference point
- Structured JSON responses and actionable error messages

## Requirements

- Python **3.13+** (required by the `firmata-client` dependency)
- An Arduino (or compatible board) flashed with **StandardFirmata**
  (`File → Examples → Firmata → StandardFirmata` in the Arduino IDE)
- Python dependencies:
  - `mcp[cli]` **2.x** (v0.2.0 and later; use `firmata-client-mcp` 0.1.x if you are pinned to `mcp` 1.x)
  - `firmata-client`
  - `pyserial` (installed with `firmata-client`)
  - `pydantic` (installed with `mcp`)

## Installation

Using `uv` (recommended):

```bash
uv pip install firmata-client-mcp
```

Or via `pip`:

```bash
pip install firmata-client-mcp
```

Or from source:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/NaoNaoMe/firmata-client-mcp.git
cd firmata-client-mcp
uv sync
```

## Configuration

### Claude Desktop Config

Add the server to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "firmata-client-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "firmata-client-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```
