Overview

What is Sigrok Mcp Server?

This is an MCP server that integrates sigrok’s signal capture and protocol decoding with AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. It interfaces with logic analyzers and measurement devices via sigrok-cli, supporting over 100 protocols including I2C, SPI, UART, and CAN.

How to use Sigrok Mcp Server?

Run with Docker (docker pull ghcr.io/kenosinc/sigrok-mcp-server) or build from source with Go 1.25+ and sigrok-cli installed. Configure via environment variables (SIGROK_CLI_PATH, SIGROK_TIMEOUT_SECONDS, SIGROK_WORKING_DIR). On a client like Claude Desktop, add a JSON config pointing to the server command. Use tools such as scan_devices, capture_data, and decode_protocol for signal analysis.

Key features of Sigrok Mcp Server

  • List supported hardware, decoders, input/output formats.
  • Show detailed decoder and driver information.
  • Scan for connected hardware devices.
  • Capture communication data from a device.
  • Decode captured data with protocol decoders.
  • Check firmware availability for devices.

Use cases of Sigrok Mcp Server

  • Debugging I2C, SPI, or UART communication with an LLM.
  • Automating signal capture and analysis in CI pipelines.
  • Providing a natural‑language interface to sigrok for non‑experts.

Frequently asked questions

1

What is the difference between this server and using sigrok‑cli directly?

The server wraps sigrok‑cli in an MCP interface, allowing LLMs to programmatically capture, decode, and analyze signals without manual command‑line use.

2

Does this server require firmware files?

Some hardware drivers require firmware that cannot be bundled due to licensing. The server works without firmware for devices that don’t need it (e.g., `demo`, protocol‑only analysis). Use the `check_firmware_status` tool to verify availability.

3

What transport does the server use?

It communicates over stdio (stdin/stdout JSON‑RPC).

4

What are the runtime dependencies?

Go 1.25+ and `sigrok‑cli` must be installed on the host, or you can run the Docker image. On Docker, access to USB devices may require `--privileged` and firmware volumes.

5

Can it capture data from any logic analyzer?

It supports all hardware that sigrok‑cli supports. Use `scan_devices` to discover connected devices; some may need firmware or driver configuration.
