Repos, MCP servers, CLIs and libraries that connect an AI agent to boards and bench gear.
Most GitHub stars first. Tools without repo facts come after, newest first.

rttsh is a Windows command-line terminal over SEGGER J-Link RTT for checking firmware on the board. Firmware exposes a command console through RTT, and Lua scripts on the host send commands and assert on replies and timing. It shares the flashing probe, leaves the UART free and includes an 8-tool MCP server. The README's 23 example scripts target an STM32H743.

claude-code-eyes grabs one frame from an Android IP Webcam, a Raspberry Pi camera or any snapshot URL and hands it to Claude Code. Version 1.1 added lens zoom for reading small markings. The README's demo shows Claude flashing an ESP32 over OTA and fixing a display bug its tests missed.

STM32 AutoDebug Universal Kit compiles STM32 firmware with Keil MDK, flashes it over SWD and waits for a pass token on the serial port. On a HardFault it reads the fault registers and maps the PC to a source line. Every result is an exit code. It is Windows-only; the README shows example output from an STM32F103C8T6.

AIX Skills collects 76 agent skills for embedded work, from 8051 and Cortex-M debugging to CANopen and cellular AT modems. Each skill gives an agent trigger conditions, a step-by-step workflow and checks, and the repo adds templates for writing new ones. The skills are instructions only, and the README shows no runs on hardware.

ESPHome-MCP connects an agent to the ESPHome Device Builder through the WebSocket protocol it adopted in 2026.6. Its 16 tools edit and validate YAML, stream logs, decode crash backtraces and compile and OTA-flash firmware. Flash tools are marked destructive, and an offline device reports a deferred flash. The author expects to archive it once ESPHome ships its own MCP server.

wirestudio generates pin assignments, ESPHome YAML, a KiCad schematic and PCB, a JLCPCB fab bundle and an OpenSCAD enclosure from one design file. It covers ESP32-family boards and the ESP8266. A built-in Claude agent or any MCP client can call its 53 tools, 22 of which reach hardware. The README says those were exercised on a live bench during bring-up.

kicad-jlcpcb, a Claude Code plugin and MCP server, produces a wired .kicad_pcb file from a one-line board description or a BOM. It sources LCSC parts with a preference for JLCPCB basic-library stock, fetches pin maps from EasyEDA and wires nets by pin name. Routing and ordering are left to EasyEDA and JLCPCB. The README shows no fabricated board.

K-Dense's LabMCP connects Claude and other assistants to lab instruments through 32 MCP servers. They cover balances, hotplate stirrers, syringe pumps, spectrometers, potentiostats and other instruments. Each server checks commands against user-set safety limits and logs them, and each has a practice mode. The README marks all 32 as tested only in simulation, from the makers' manuals.

mcu-skills packs per-board knowledge for Claude Code into 21 skills, from the WeAct Black Pill to the Waveshare ESP32-C6-LCD-1.47. Each holds pin functions, working clock trees, HAL calls that fail silently and how to flash the chip. The README says each skill's template project builds. It reports no tests on hardware.

QClaw runs a Qwen3.5 0.8B model and a Go agent loop on the Linux side of an Arduino UNO Q board. Its 8 tools include camera capture, I2C scans and sketch compiles that OpenOCD flashes to the board's MCU over SWD. David Laurenvil says it scrolls text across the LED matrix offline; we have not seen photos or logs.

Jizai's Palmimo DevKit exposes Palmimo, a six-legged tabletop robot with 21 serial-bus servos, to Claude Code and other MCP clients. A Python SDK maps LLM tool calls to walking, waving, looking, face changes and speech. Every motion can run as a compute-only dry run first. README GIFs show the physical robot bowing and waving.

In Silico, coding agents write and maintain a device's firmware from a spec kept in a GitHub repo. The agent scaffolds firmware, a simulator with its own HAL, an install tool and CI that runs on the simulator and on hardware. MicroPython is the default, with C on ESP-IDF as an option. Three demo specs target an M5Stack M5GO kit.

AURIX AI Agent connects GitHub Copilot's agent mode in VS Code to Infineon AURIX iLLD drivers, code examples and documentation through MCP. Copilot then builds with GCC and flashes the board with AURIX Flasher. The author's linked videos show a one-sentence prompt blinking every LED on a TC387 and a pose-detection game on a TC375. The extension is Windows-only.

cardputer-claude-mcp runs a MicroPython app on an M5Stack Cardputer-Adv, linked over BLE to an MCP bridge on a Mac. Claude Code pushes notices, questions and a usage dashboard. A hook routes shell commands and file edits to the device; routine ones pass, ordinary ones need Enter, and destructive ones such as git push need Y. Photos show both prompts.

serial-mcp exposes UART and USB serial ports to coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex through 25 MCP tools, written in Rust. An always-on receive buffer answers reads with pattern matching instead of blocking. A boot-capture tool pulses DTR or RTS for Arduino auto-reset, and port allowlists limit what the agent can open. The README shows no board logs.

Firment is a Rust coding agent for firmware that builds with the project's own toolchain and flashes and debugs over probe-rs. The README ranks evidence: a photo of a lit LED or a logic-analyzer capture outranks the model's word. A red-team mode fuzzes the UART of firmware the agent wrote. The README shows client screenshots, no hardware run.

sdr-mcp connects Claude Desktop or Cursor to an RTL-SDR dongle through a FastMCP server. Tools set frequency and gain, capture IQ samples, compute spectra with peak detection and keep a waterfall; FM audio plays through a GNU Radio demodulator in Docker. A React dashboard has the same controls. The README shows no captures from a dongle.

esp32-ai-loop-mcp-server gives Claude Code 11 tools to build an ESP-IDF project, flash it to an ESP32 and read the serial output. The serial monitor runs in a background thread, writes to a log file and releases the port while flashing. The agent searches the log after each change. The README shows an example session but no captured device logs.

Flamingo is a TypeScript PCB engine that Claude Code drives over MCP, from a plain-language prompt to a JLCPCB fab package with no schematic step. Its 34 tools pick LCSC parts, place footprints, connect nets, autoroute with Freerouting and run DRC. The README shows browser-editor screenshots and an end-to-end ESP32 test script, but no fabricated board.

McuBuddy connects AI assistants to MCU debug probes such as ST-Link and J-Link for board-level debugging. Opt-in toolsets add Keil MDK builds, SVD register decoding, RTT and UART logs, FreeRTOS task state and flash writes. Each result says what kind of failure it found and suggests the next safe check. The README lists validation on STM32L496 and STM32F103 boards.
