IoT Device Management MCP Server

PyPI version License: MIT

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

Tools

Tool Description
register_device Register a new IoT device with type, location, and firmware version
list_devices List all devices with optional filters (type, location, status, tag)
get_device_status Get real-time status and simulated telemetry for a device
update_firmware Simulate firmware update with version history
send_command Send remote commands (reboot, enable, disable, calibrate, etc.)
get_alerts Retrieve device alerts filtered by severity or device
resolve_alert Mark an alert as resolved with optional notes
device_analytics Fleet health score, statistics, and recommendations
get_fleet_dashboard Complete fleet overview with recent activity

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 sensors
  • actuator — Relays, motors, valves
  • gateway — IoT edge gateways and routers
  • camera — IP cameras and video devices
  • Custom types also supported

Supported Protocols

  • MQTT (default)
  • HTTP/HTTPS
  • CoAP
  • LoRa/LoRaWAN

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.iot_device_store.json. No cloud services required.

Why This Server?

  • Platform-agnostic — Works with any IoT setup, no vendor lock-in
  • No API keys — Fully local, no cloud dependency
  • AI-ready — Natural language device management via Claude or any MCP-compatible AI
  • Open source — MIT license, fork and extend freely
