Why this exists

Every aquaculture monitoring product on the market today picks one hardware family and locks you in: Bluelab cloud-only, Edenic, GHL ProfiLux web API, Atlas Scientific raw I²C, Seneye USB. There is no single SaaS layer that lets a UK trout farm, a hobbyist aquaponic grower, and a high-end koi keeper read their water chemistry through one API — and certainly none that gates every reading against the welfare safe-range for the species in the tank, or routes any actuation through a care membrane before firing a peristaltic pump at live animals.

This MCP is that layer. It is the software side of the MEOK PondSense open hardware kit (fork of the OSHWA-certified Whitebox Labs Tentacle T1 MkII baseboard, PA12-CF printed IP67 enclosure on Qidi Max4, optional RPi5 or ESP32-S3 compute, CSOAI stamp).

Tools

Installation

pip install meok-aquaponics-monitor-mcp

Supported species

rainbow_trout, atlantic_salmon_smolt, koi, tilapia, aquaponic_lettuce_companion, tropical_community. Each carries pH / DO / NH3-N / NO2-N / NO3-N / temp / EC / alkalinity safe-ranges sourced from RSPCA Assured, WOAH Aquatic Code, and the Stirling Institute of Aquaculture welfare-indicator toolboxes.

Configuration

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json (Claude Desktop) or your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "meok-aquaponics-monitor-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["meok-aquaponics-monitor-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Or: pip install meok-aquaponics-monitor-mcp then run the meok-aquaponics-monitor-mcp command (stdio transport).
