### Description (declared)

# wisent-wire-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for the [Wisent Wire](https://wisent-wire.com) hardware testing platform. Lets AI assistants interact with WisentWire devices — power control, firmware flashing & flasher catalog, UART / RS485 / CAN buses, GPIO control & telemetry, GDB debug sessions, device registry, reservations, and protocol frame definitions.

## Installation

Requires Python **3.10+**. Install with [`pipx`](https://pipx.pypa.io) —
it puts the MCP server in an isolated environment and adds the
`wisent-wire-mcp` binary to your `PATH`.

### 1. Install `pipx` (one-time)

```bash
# macOS
brew install pipx
pipx ensurepath

# Linux / WSL
python3 -m pip install --user pipx
python3 -m pipx ensurepath
```

Open a new terminal so the updated `PATH` is picked up.

### 2. Install the MCP server

```bash
pipx install wisent-wire-mcp
```

Verify:

```bash
which wisent-wire-mcp         # ~/.local/bin/wisent-wire-mcp (or similar)
```

### 3. Upgrade / uninstall

```bash
pipx upgrade   wisent-wire-mcp
pipx uninstall wisent-wire-mcp
```

## Configuration

### `.mcp.json` location

Claude Code reads MCP servers from `.mcp.json`. Two scopes:

| Scope | Path | When to use |
|-------|------|-------------|
| **Project** | `<repo-root>/.mcp.json` | Shared with the project (checked into VCS or per-repo) |
| **User** | `~/.claude.json` under the `mcpServers` key | Available in every Claude Code session for this user |

Claude Desktop uses a separate file:

| Platform | Path |
|----------|------|
| macOS | `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` |
| Windows | `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` |
| Linux | `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` |

### Example `.mcp.json`

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wisent-wire": {
      "command": "wisent-wire-mcp",
      "env": {
        "WISENT_WIRE_API_KEY": "wwk_..."
      }
    }
  }
}
```

After editing `.mcp.json`, restart Claude Code (or reload the window)
for the server to be …
