# mcp-server-sofabaton [](https://github.com/SDNick484/mcp-server-sofabaton/actions/workflows/ci.yml) An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for **Sofabaton X1, X1S and X2** universal remote hubs. It lets an MCP client such as Claude start and stop activities, press remote buttons, send macros, favorites and device commands, find the remote, and read the presses of buttons you've bound to it. All three models work through [sofabaton-x-server](https://pypi.org/project/sofabaton-x-server/). An **X2** can also be reached over **MQTT**, either on its own or alongside the server. That adds live activity state, and keeps the hub controllable while the Sofabaton app is open. Every response tells the model which model it's talking to and what that hub can and can't do. > **Status: alpha, looking for testers.** Tested on one X2 over MQTT (see [Tested on](#tested-on)). > The sofabaton-x-server path, and so every X1 and X1S, has run only against the simulator. If you > have a Sofabaton hub, a report of what does and doesn't work on yours is the most useful thing > you can send: [open a hardware report](https://github.com/SDNick484/mcp-server-sofabaton/issues/new?template=hardware_report.yml).
