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

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.

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.
