MCP server for FIWARE Orion Context Broker — NGSI-v2 context management for LLMs

fiware-orion-mcp

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for FIWARE Orion Context Broker. Enables LLMs like Claude to manage NGSI-v2 context entities — IoT devices, cameras, sensors, vehicles, and any real-world object modeled as a digital twin.

No official FIWARE MCP exists yet. This is the first one.

What is FIWARE Orion?

FIWARE is an open standard (ETSI NGSI-LD) for Smart City and IoT data management. The Orion Context Broker is its core component — it stores the current state of all entities and notifies subscribers when things change.

orion_get_version	Verify Orion connectivity and version
orion_list_types	List all entity types and their attributes
orion_query_entities	Query entities by type, pattern, filter, geo
orion_get_entity	Get full details of a specific entity
orion_create_entity	Create a new NGSI entity
orion_update_attributes	Update entity attributes
orion_delete_entity	Delete an entity
orion_create_subscription	Subscribe to attribute change notifications

Quick start

1. Start FIWARE stack (Docker)

cd docker
docker compose up -d
# Verify:
curl http://localhost:1026/version
curl http://localhost:8668/version

2. Install MCP server

      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "fiware_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "ORION_URL": "http://your-orion-host:1026",
        "QUANTUMLEAP_URL": "http://your-ql-host:8668"
      }
    }
  }
}

4. Environment variables

Variable	Default	Description
ORION_URL	http://localhost:1026	Orion Context Broker URL
QUANTUMLEAP_URL	http://localhost:8668	QuantumLeap URL
FIWARE_SERVICE	(empty)	Multi-tenancy service name

Example session with Claude

> List all entity types in the Context Broker
> Show me all Camera entities that are offline
> Get the full details of Camera:TIMONE-01
> Update Camera:TIMONE-01 status to "maintenance"
> Show me the uptime history of Camera:TIMONE-01 for the last 7 days

Roadmap

• NGSI-LD support (Orion-LD)
• Batch operations
• Geo-query helpers (find entities near a point)
• Export entities as GeoJSON
