Serial-Studio
Open-source telemetry dashboard. Supports UART, BLE, MQTT, Modbus, CAN Bus and more.
Serial Studio MCP server enables AI assistants to control the Serial Studio telemetry dashboard application through the Model Context Protocol. This server wraps Serial Studio's TCP API, allowing AI agents to connect devices, parse data streams, create visualizations, and manage projects programmatically. It supports hardware connections over UART, Bluetooth LE, MQTT, Modbus, CAN Bus, and other protocols. The MCP integration lets developers use natural language commands in Claude Desktop or custom MCP clients to configure dashboards for Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, PLCs, and industrial equipment.

Serial-Studio — FAQ
What is the Serial Studio MCP server?+
The Serial Studio MCP server is a Model Context Protocol wrapper that exposes Serial Studio's automation API to AI assistants like Claude Desktop. It allows AI agents to control the telemetry dashboard application, connect devices, create visualizations, and manage data projects through natural language commands.
How do I install the Serial Studio MCP server in Claude Desktop?+
First install Serial Studio application and launch it to start the TCP API server on port 7777. Then add the MCP server configuration to Claude Desktop's config file pointing to the MCP server implementation from the repository's examples/MCP Client directory. The exact setup depends on whether you're using the Node.js or Python MCP client wrapper.
What clients work with this MCP server?+
Any MCP-compatible client works, including Claude Desktop and custom MCP host applications. The server communicates over the Model Context Protocol standard, so it integrates with any tool that implements MCP client functionality.
Do I need API keys or a Serial Studio license?+
The MCP server itself requires no API keys, but you need the Serial Studio application running locally with its TCP API enabled (default port 7777). The GPL build includes basic protocols; Pro features like MQTT, Modbus, CAN Bus, and PLC drivers require a Serial Studio commercial license.
Is the Serial Studio MCP server free?+
The MCP server wrapper is open source under GPLv3. However, the underlying Serial Studio application has a dual-license model: the GPL build is free with core features, while Pro features (advanced protocols, PLC drivers, output widgets, AI Assistant) require a commercial license.
What hardware and protocols does it support?+
The GPL build supports serial/UART, Bluetooth LE, and network protocols (TCP, UDP, WebSocket, HTTP). Pro features add MQTT with Sparkplug B, Modbus TCP/RTU, CAN Bus, OPC UA, Siemens S7comm, Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP, IEC 60870-5-104, raw USB, HID, and audio input for telemetry dashboards.
How do I install Serial-Studio?+
Open the source repository on GitHub and follow its README. Serial-Studio is a mcp server — MCP Agents Market links you directly to the official repo.
Is Serial-Studio free?+
Serial-Studio is an open-source project hosted on GitHub. Check the repository for its license and any usage requirements.
