pm5190-mcp
MCP server for controlling the Philips PM5190 LF synthesizer over GPIB.
Connects via any Prologix-compatible USB-to-GPIB adapter (e.g. AR488, Prologix GPIB-USB).
Requirements
- Prologix-compatible USB-to-GPIB adapter
- PM5190 GPIB address configured via DIP switches on the bottom of the unit
Usage
From PyPI (recommended)
uvx pm5190-mcp
PM5190_PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0 PM5190_ADDR=4 uvx pm5190-mcp
From source
PM5190_PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0 PM5190_ADDR=4 uv run pm5190-mcp
Claude Code configuration
Add to .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pm5190": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["pm5190-mcp"],
"env": {
"PM5190_PORT": "/dev/ttyUSB0",
"PM5190_ADDR": "4"
}
}
}
}
The GPIB address is set via DIP switches on the bottom of the unit:
