Bluetooth MCP Server for scanning and interacting with Bluetooth devices
Project description
Bluetooth MCP Server
🔍 Overview
This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Claude and other AI assistants to scan and interact with Bluetooth devices in your vicinity. Built with a Test-Driven Development approach, it provides a robust, tested interface for Bluetooth operations across multiple platforms.
✨ Features
- 📡 Multi-protocol scanning: Detect both BLE and Classic Bluetooth devices
- 🔎 Flexible filtering: Filter devices by name, type, or other attributes
- 🔄 Automatic device recognition: Identify and categorize common devices (like Freebox, TVs, etc.)
- 📱 Enhanced device information: Get manufacturer info, device type, and detailed characteristics
- 🖥️ Cross-platform support: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux
- ⚡ Platform-specific optimizations: Enhanced detection capabilities on Windows
- 🤖 MCP Integration: Seamless integration with Claude and compatible AI assistants
📋 Requirements
- Python 3.7+
- Bluetooth adapter (built-in or external)
- Admin/sudo privileges (required for some Bluetooth operations)
- Internet connection (for package installation)
🚀 Quick Start
Installation
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/bluetooth-mcp-server.git
cd bluetooth-mcp-server
# Create and activate virtual environment
python -m venv venv
# On Windows
venv\Scripts\activate
# On macOS/Linux
source venv/bin/activate
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Configure environment variables
cp .env.example .env
# Edit the .env file as needed
Running the Server
# Start the Bluetooth API server
python run.py
# In another terminal, start the MCP server
python bluetooth_mcp_server.py
Using with Claude
-
Expose your server to the internet using ngrok or deploy it to a server:
ngrok http 8000
-
Configure Claude to use your MCP server:
npx @anthropic-ai/sdk install-model-context-protocol <YOUR_SERVER_URL>
-
Ask Claude to scan for Bluetooth devices:
Could you scan for nearby Bluetooth devices?
🧪 Testing
This project follows a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach with comprehensive test coverage:
# Run all tests
pytest
# Run specific test categories
pytest tests/api/ # API tests
pytest tests/models/ # Data model tests
pytest tests/services/ # Service logic tests
pytest tests/utils/ # Utility function tests
🏗️ Architecture
The project follows a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:

🔧 Troubleshooting
Bluetooth Issues
- "Access denied" errors: Run the server with admin/sudo privileges
- Adapter not detected: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled in your system settings
- No devices found: Make sure there are discoverable Bluetooth devices nearby
- Windows-specific issues: Check that Bluetooth services are active (
services.msc)
MCP Issues
- Tool not detected by Claude: Verify your MCP server URL is correct and accessible
- Execution errors: Check the server logs for detailed error information
