Quick Start

make sure you have installed uv

```bash
windows
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"
MacOS
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Basic Configuration

Add the following to your MCP client configuration:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp2mqtt": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": ["mcp2mqtt"]
        }
    }
}

MQTT and command Configuration

Create or modify config.yaml to configure mqtt parameters:

mqtt:
  # MQTT服务器配置 - 使用EMQX公共测试服务器
  broker: "broker.emqx.io"  # EMQX公共测试服务器地址
  port: 1883  # TCP端口
  websocket_port: 8083  # WebSocket端口
  ssl_port: 8883  # SSL/TLS端口
  ws_ssl_port: 8084  # WebSocket Secure端口
  quic_port: 14567  # QUIC端口
  client_id: "mcp2mqtt_test_client"  # 测试客户端ID
  username: ""  # 公共测试服务器不需要认证
  password: ""  # 公共测试服务器不需要认证
  keepalive: 60
  response_start_string: "CMD"  # 应答的开始字符串，用于验证响应

# MCP工具定义
tools:
  set_pwm:
    name: "set_pwm"
    description: "设置PWM频率，范围0-100"
    parameters:
      - name: "frequency"
        type: "integer"
        description: "PWM频率值(0-100)"
        required: true
    mqtt_topic: "mcp2mqtt/pwm"
    response_topic: "mcp2mqtt/pwm/response"
    response_format: "CMD PWM {frequency} OK"

Configuration File Location

The configuration file (config.yaml) can be placed in different locations depending on your needs. The program searches for the configuration file in the following order:

1. Current Working Directory (For Development)

• Path: ./config.yaml
• Example: If you run the program from C:\Projects, it will look for C:\Projects\config.yaml
• Best for: Development and testing
• No special permissions required

2. User's Home Directory (Recommended for Personal Use)

• Windows: C:\Users\YourName\.mcp2mqtt\config.yaml
• macOS: /Users/YourName/.mcp2mqtt/config.yaml
• Linux: /home/username/.mcp2mqtt/config.yaml
• Best for: Personal configuration
• Create the .mcp2mqtt directory if it doesn't exist
• No special permissions required

3. System-wide Configuration (For Multi-user Setup)

• Windows: C:\ProgramData\mcp2mqtt\config.yaml (requires admin rights)
• macOS/Linux: /etc/mcp2mqtt/config.yaml (requires sudo/root)
• Best for: Shared configuration in multi-user environments
• Create the directory with appropriate permissions

The program will use the first valid configuration file it finds in this order. Choose the location based on your needs:

• For testing: use current directory
• For personal use: use home directory (recommended)
• For system-wide settings: use ProgramData or /etc
