### Description (declared)

> **0.3.0 package and tool migration:** Install `industriagents-modbus-mcp`
> from npm (requires uv) or PyPI; the command remains `modbus-mcp`.
> The advertised catalog now contains **6 tools**. Older tool names in
> the examples below remain compatibility calls. See the
> [architecture and canonical tool guide](../docs/architecture.md)

# Modbus MCP Server (Python)

The MCP server of [MODBUS-MCP](../README.md). It is a [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) project with the `modbus-mcp` entry point; the mock device to test it against lives in [`../modbus-mock-server`](../modbus-mock-server/README.md).

## Features

- **Read-only by default**: the write tools (`write_register`, `write_registers`, `write_coil`, `write_coils_bulk`, `mask_write_register`, `write_tag`) send nothing unless `MODBUS_WRITES_ENABLED=true`.
- **Core tools**:
  - Read/write holding registers: `read_register`, `write_register`, `read_multiple_holding_registers`, `write_registers`.
  - Read/write coils: `read_coils`, `write_coil`, `write_coils_bulk`.
  - Read input registers: `read_input_registers`.
  - Read discrete inputs: `read_discrete_inputs`.
  - Bitwise masked write: `mask_write_register`.
  - Device information (MEI 0x2B/0x0E): `read_device_information`.
- **Typed reads**:
  - `read_holding_typed`, `read_input_typed` for `int16/uint16/int32/uint32/int64/uint64/float32/float64` with byte/word endianness, scale, and offset.
  - Encoding and decoding are done in `src/modbus_mcp/codec.py` with the same register layout pymodbus' former `BinaryPayloadBuilder`/`Decoder` used (a test checks this against them on pymodbus 3.9).
- **Tag map (optional)**:
  - Load a JSON register map via `REGISTER_MAP_FILE` and use `list_tags`, `read_tag`, `write_tag`. Typed tags are decoded and scaled on read; `write_tag` takes the same engineering units and reverses the scale and offset.
- **Reliability**:
  - Reads are retried with exponential backoff (`MODBUS_MAX_RETRIES`); …
