Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@fireboard-mcpshow me the current probe temperatures"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Fireboard MCP
MCP server for the Fireboard BBQ temperature monitoring API. Exposes tools for querying devices, live probe temperatures, Drive fan controller status and control, and historical cook sessions from any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
Live endpoint: https://fireboard-mcp.up.railway.app/mcp
Authentication
This server uses OAuth 2.0 with PKCE and Dynamic Client Registration — the standard required by MCP clients such as ChatGPT and Claude.
Fireboard's own API has no OAuth support; it only issues tokens via a username/password exchange. This server wraps that exchange behind a proper OAuth 2.0 flow: when you connect your AI assistant it opens a login page hosted by the MCP server, you enter your Fireboard credentials, and the server exchanges them with the Fireboard API for an access token. Your credentials are forwarded directly and are never stored — only the resulting API token is held in memory to authenticate tool calls on your behalf.
Note: The token is stored in memory only. If the server restarts (e.g. after a deploy), you will need to re-authenticate.
