able-mcp-suitable 0.1.0

MCP server for ABLE Labs Suitable bench-top robot — exposes device control tools to Claude via the Model Context Protocol.

able-mcp-suitable

MCP server for the ABLE Labs Suitable bench-top robot. Exposes device control tools and protocol authoring tools (create / save / load / simulate) to Claude and any other MCP-compatible client.

v0.1.0 — simulation only

This release runs in simulation mode only. Real-device mode (which spawns a bundled App Server binary) is implemented in code (SPEC-DIST-001) but the App Server binaries are scheduled for v0.2.0. Enabling simulate: false in this release will fail with BinaryDownloadError.

Note: simulator stubs for aspirate/dispense return mock dicts — useful for protocol authoring practice, not for verifying real liquid-handling logic.

Install

# One-shot run (recommended for Claude Desktop)
