### Description (declared)

# MCP Arduino Server (mcp-arduino-server)

[![License: MIT](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-MIT-yellow.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
[![PyPI version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/mcp-arduino-server.svg)](https://pypi.org/project/mcp-arduino-server/)

A FastMCP-powered bridge exposing `arduino-cli` functionality via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Manage sketches, boards, libraries, files, plus generate WireViz schematics from YAML or natural language.

## Requirements

- **Python ≥3.10**
- **arduino-cli** in `PATH`
- **MCP SDK** (`mcp[cli]`)
- **WireViz** (optional; for diagram generation)
- **OPENAI_API_KEY** (for AI‑powered WireViz)
- **thefuzz[speedup]** (optional; enables fuzzy local library search)

## Installation

**From PyPI**:
```bash
pip install mcp-arduino-server
```

**From source**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Volt23/mcp-arduino-server.git
cd mcp-arduino-server
pip install .
```

## Configuration

Environment variables override defaults:

| Variable             | Default / Description                              |
|----------------------|-----------------------------------------------------|
| ARDUINO_CLI_PATH     | auto-detected                                       |
| WIREVIZ_PATH         | auto-detected                                       |
| MCP_SKETCH_DIR       | `~/Documents/Arduino_MCP_Sketches/`                 |
| LOG_LEVEL            | `INFO`                                              |
| OPENAI_API_KEY       | your OpenAI API key (required for AI‑powered WireViz)|
| OPENROUTER_API_KEY   | optional alternative to `OPENAI_API_KEY`            |

## Quick Start

```bash
mcp-arduino-server
```

Server listens on STDIO for JSON-RPC MCP calls. Key methods:

### Sketches
- `create_new_sketch(name)`
- `list_sketches()`
- `read_file(path)`
- `write_file(path, content[, board_fqbn])` _(auto-compiles & opens `.ino`)_

### Build & Deploy
- `verify_code(sketch, board_fqbn)`
- `upload_sketch(sketch, port, board_fqbn)`
