IoT Device Management MCP Server
MCP Server for IoT Device Management — Register, monitor, and control IoT devices via AI agents.
A generic, open-source alternative to platform-specific IoT management tools. No cloud API key required — all data stored locally.
Features
- Device Registry — Register and manage IoT devices (sensors, actuators, gateways, cameras)
- Real-time Status — Monitor device health, telemetry, and connectivity
- Remote Commands — Send commands (reboot, enable, disable, calibrate) to devices
- Firmware Updates — Track and simulate firmware update workflows
- Alert Management — Create, filter, and resolve device alerts
- Fleet Analytics — Health scores, status summaries, and recommendations
- Fleet Dashboard — Single-view overview of your entire device fleet

Installation
pip install iot-device-mcp-server
Usage with Claude Desktop
Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"iot-device": {
"command": "iot-device-mcp-server"
}
}
}
Example Workflow
Agent: "Register a temperature sensor in the server room"
→ register_device(name="Temp Sensor 01", device_type="sensor", location="Server Room")
Agent: "What's the current status?"
→ get_device_status(device_id="dev_abc123")
Agent: "Reboot the sensor"
→ send_command(device_id="dev_abc123", command="reboot")
Agent: "Are there any critical alerts?"
→ get_alerts(severity="critical")
Agent: "Show me the fleet health"
→ device_analytics()
Supported Device Types
sensor— Temperature, humidity, pressure sensorsactuator— Relays, motors, valvesgateway— IoT edge gateways and routerscamera— IP cameras and video devices- Custom types also supported
Supported Protocols
