IoT Device Management MCP Server

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

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.
