In September Nordic Semiconductor added skills to its Nordic MCP server that drive a Power Profiler Kit II and SEGGER J-Link probes. The PPK2 skill captures long measurement runs and flags anomalies against a reference pattern; the debug skill runs GDB sessions. The nRF Connect extension for VS Code now shares build context. The post shows no runs.

Daniel Frassinelli of Veecle reviewed first-party hardware MCP servers and found that seven chip and tooling vendors shipped them between October 2025 and August 2026. He found no official server from ST, Infineon or Renesas. He writes that none of the vendor servers runs firmware without a physical board; Veecle's own product, Chiplab, targets that gap.

Nordic Semiconductor released 2 MCP servers that connect coding assistants such as Claude Code to its SDK and cloud. The Nordic MCP server adds documentation search, an nrfutil reference, a UART monitor script and SDK workflow commands. The nRF Cloud server reads fleet data such as logs and coredumps, without write access. The post shows no hardware runs.
