Overview

What is WiFi MCP Server?

WiFi MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides WiFi network monitoring and management tools. It integrates with Continue.dev, Claude Desktop, or any MCP‑compatible client to give AI assistants real‑time access to WiFi information.

How to use WiFi MCP Server?

Install Python 3.8+, clone the repository, then run pip install -r requirements.txt. Start the server in stdio mode with python3 wifi_mcp_server.py or in HTTP mode with the --mode http flag. For VS Code integration, add the server configuration to your user settings JSON. Query the tools via chat commands like “Scan for available WiFi networks”.

FAQ from WiFi MCP Server

What tools does WiFi MCP Server provide?

It provides four tools: scan_wifi, get_wifi_status, get_signal_strength, and list_interfaces. Each can optionally accept an interface parameter.

What are the runtime requirements?

Python 3.8 or higher, a Linux system with WiFi capabilities, and the network‑management tools iw, iwconfig, and ip (usually pre‑installed). Some operations require root/sudo access.

Does it work on Windows or macOS?

No. The README explicitly states it requires a Linux system with WiFi capabilities.

How can I test the server without an MCP client?

Run python3 standalone_test.py to test WiFi functions directly. For full MCP server testing, use python3 test_wifi_server.py ./wifi_mcp_server.py.
