### Description (declared)

# OPC UA MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless integration with OPC UA servers. This server enables AI assistants and other MCP clients to interact with industrial automation systems through standardized OPC UA communication protocols.

## Overview

This MCP server acts as a bridge between AI assistants and OPC UA servers, allowing for:
- Reading sensor data and system variables
- Writing control values to actuators and systems
- Browsing OPC UA node hierarchies
- Calling OPC UA methods for system operations
- Batch operations for multiple nodes

## Tools

See the central per-tool reference in **[docs/examples.md](https://github.com/midhunxavier/OPCUA-MCP/blob/main/docs/examples.md)**; the shared tool surface is defined in **[contract/tools.json](https://github.com/midhunxavier/OPCUA-MCP/blob/main/contract/tools.json)**.

## Features

### Key Capabilities

- **Automatic Connection Management**: Handles OPC UA client lifecycle with proper connection setup and teardown
- **Type-Safe Operations**: Automatic type conversion based on existing node data types
- **Error Handling**: Comprehensive error reporting for debugging and monitoring
- **Async Support**: Built on FastMCP for efficient asynchronous operations
- **Configurable**: Environment-based endpoint, security policy and credentials

## Installation

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.10 or higher
- Access to an OPC UA server (local or remote)
- UV package manager (recommended) or pip

### From PyPI (recommended)

```bash
uvx opcua-mcp-server            # run without installing
uv tool install opcua-mcp-server   # or install permanently
pip install opcua-mcp-server       # or with pip
```

Point it at your OPC UA endpoint:

```bash
export OPCUA_SERVER_URL="opc.tcp://localhost:4840"
```

### Registering with Claude Desktop

Rather than editing `claude_desktop_config.json` by hand, let the server write it:

```bash
opcua-mcp-server --install claude-desktop --url opc.tcp://192.168.0.10…
