Repos, MCP servers, CLIs and libraries that connect an AI agent to boards and bench gear.

AWIC controls FX2-based USB logic analyzers and oscilloscopes that sigrok supports, from a Rust server with native USB drivers. Agents reach it through MCP, people through a web UI and scripts through an SCPI socket; it also switches USB hub port power. It runs on Linux and was built with Claude Code. The README says every feature works on hardware.

Matthias Blaicher's pyMSO5000 controls Rigol MSO5000 oscilloscopes over VISA from Python or an MCP server. It checks every command against SCPI definitions extracted from the scope's firmware; a bad argument fails locally instead of landing in the error queue. The MCP server adds screenshots and front-panel control. The README's examples use an MSO5074 over LAN.

oscilloscope-mcp connects Claude Code, Cursor or a custom agent to a Rigol DS1000Z oscilloscope over LAN SCPI. A profile lists the series' 15 trigger types and about 95 parameters, and the server checks requests against it before sending. A compare tool diffs captured edges against an RTL simulation. The README shows an agent-configured four-channel capture on a DS1104Z.

dwf-mcp-server exposes Digilent WaveForms devices such as the Analog Discovery 2 and 3 to an agent as MCP tools, built on the dwfpy bindings. Tools cover the oscilloscope, logic analyzer, waveform generator, power supply, GPIO and SPI. It ships as a Docker image without Digilent's proprietary runtime, which users add in a derived image. The README shows no hardware runs.

Tramuntana is an open bench tool built on the RP2350 (Raspberry Pi Pico 2) and Zephyr that works over one USB cable. It has SPI and I2C master and sniffer modes, a 2-channel 500 kS/s scope, a waveform generator, an 8-channel logic analyzer and a UART bridge. Its Python package adds an MCP server. The README shows no captures.

pico-mcp talks to the ps5000a driver directly to control PicoScope 5000A USB oscilloscopes from an agent. It configures channels, runs the built-in signal generator, captures blocks with measurements and sweeps frequency response. The author wrote it because an existing server crashed and leaked device handles. The README says every code path was checked on a 5442B; it shows no captures.

bench-mcp exposes SCPI power supplies, multimeters and oscilloscopes to an agent through 10 MCP tools, with no tool that sends raw SCPI. Voltage and current limits come from a file a person signs off, read once at start-up and enforced by a pure function before every command. The README says it has run only against simulated instruments.

rigol-mcp connects any stdio MCP client to a Rigol oscilloscope over LAN and runs only in a container. Its tools set up channels, take measurements and save waveform captures and screenshots. The DHO814 is the main tested model, and the server labels each capability fact by how it was verified. The README lists smoke tests run without an input signal.

mcp-hardware-tools connects Claude to a Rigol DS1054Z oscilloscope and decodes SPI, I2C and UART from raw waveforms. Each capture comes back with clipping and trigger-status flags, and the agent adjusts the setup and captures again. The author reports bench tests against known signals from a JDS6600 generator and a Pico 2, and no use yet on an unknown fault.

mcp-strumentazione connects Claude to a Tektronix TBS2204B oscilloscope over LXI and to an HP GPIB bench through 2 MCP servers. The bench server drives a 6632A supply, 6060B electronic load, 5334B counter and 3457A meter. The README includes measurements Claude took through them, among them a mains waveform and a lamp I-V sweep.

scopebench-mcp connects a coding agent to a Rigol oscilloscope over USB or LAN through an MCP server and an agent skill. The agent sets channels, timebase and triggers, captures waveforms and screenshots to files, and gets structured JSON back. The README names the DHO804D as its tested scope; USB control is Windows-only. We have not seen captures.
