SimpleBLE

SimpleAIBLE

Build Bluetooth once. Ship it everywhere.

SimpleAIBLE brings SimpleBLE to AI agents on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Your agent scans for Bluetooth Low Energy devices, connects, explores their services, reads and writes GATT values, and follows notifications, through an MCP server, an HTTP API, or a bundled agent skill.

Why SimpleAIBLE

  • Works with your agent: Use it from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client, or call the HTTP API from your own tools.
  • Native underneath: Use WinRT, CoreBluetooth, and BlueZ through SimpleBLE's maintained stack.
  • Built for real hardware work: Let an agent discover, debug, and exercise the BLE devices on your desk.
  • Commercially supported: Ship proprietary applications with commercial licensing and direct technical support from the team that builds SimpleBLE.

Support and resources

Get started

Use Python 3.10 or newer, and install SimpleAIBLE with uv:

uv tool install simpleaible

pip install simpleaible works too. Then register the MCP server with your agent. For Claude Code:

claude mcp add simpleaible -- simpleaible

Other MCP clients take the same command, simpleaible, in their configuration. Ask your agent to scan for five seconds and list what it found.

MCP server

simpleaible starts the MCP server over stdio. Its tools cover the whole client workflow: get_adapters, scan_for, connect, services, read, write_request, write_command, notify, indicate, get_notifications, unsubscribe, and disconnect. The MCP server guide has the configuration for each client.

HTTP API

Run the HTTP server to control BLE devices from your own tools:

simpleaible-http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

The API mirrors the MCP tools: GET /adapters, POST /scan, POST /connect/{address}, and reads, writes, and subscriptions under /device/{address}. The HTTP API reference lists every endpoint.

Agent skills

Install the SimpleAIBLE skill so your agent knows the BLE workflows, platform differences, and debugging patterns:

simpleaible install

The installer finds Claude Code and Codex and adds the skill to each, and simpleaible uninstall removes it. For other agents, use the skills CLI:

npx skills add https://github.com/simpleble/simpleble --skill simpleaible

Platforms

Platform Architectures Requirements
macOS 15.0 or newer x64, arm64 Bluetooth permission for the app that runs your agent
Windows 10 or newer x64, x86, arm64
Linux x64, x86, arm64 BlueZ and the D-Bus library

See Bluetooth permissions for the setup each platform needs.

Versions

SimpleAIBLE follows SimpleBLE's release versions. uv and pip install the latest stable release, and development builds of the main branch are published as pre-releases:

uv tool install --prerelease allow simpleaible
