digital-twin-mcp

Package the device data capabilities of digital twin scenarios into MCP tools—any MCP client (WorkBuddy, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) can directly query device status, read real-time metrics, pull time-series data, and check alerts.

Architect of the Digital Pipeline · Second Building Block: Device Monitoring Pipeline First building block: https://github.com/xici001/workflow-templates (AI automation workflow templates)

What it can do

Tool

Description

list_devices

List all devices in the scene (type / location)

get_device_metrics

Read real-time device metrics (simulated PLC polling)

get_metric_history

Read recent time-series data for a metric (for trend charts / 3D visualization)

set_device_value

Write device parameters (simulated PLC write / fault injection testing)

check_alerts

Threshold alert check (warning / critical levels)

Resource

Description

device://{id}/profile

Device ledger: metadata + metric ranges and alert thresholds

scene://layout

3D scene layout: device world coordinates (directly overlayable in Three.js / Unity)

Prompt

Description

device_health_report

Generate a health report for the specified device

  • The v0 data source is a simulated PLC driver (fixed random seed, reproducible; injection molding machine temperature is deliberately drifted close to the threshold to make alert escalation easy to demonstrate).

  • To connect real devices, inherit BasePLCDriver and implement read_metrics / write_value (OPC-UA / Modbus / gateway API all work), with zero changes to the Server layer.

Quick Start

pip install -e .
# 方式一:stdio 传输(MCP 客户端默认)
python -m digital_twin_mcp.server
# 方式二:streamable-http 传输
python -m digital_twin_mcp.server --transport streamable-http

End-to-end test (start the server subprocess and call it via the stdio protocol):

python examples/client_test.py

Integrate with WorkBuddy

Merge the contents of examples/workbuddy_mcp.json into the mcpServers key of C:\Users\33033\.workbuddy\mcp.json, then click "Trust" on digital-twin-mcp in the custom connector entry at the top right of the Connector Management page to enable it.

Relationship with workflow-templates

Two building blocks under the same "Digital Pipeline" brand:

  • workflow-templates: Package mental work (financial report analysis, etc.) into workflows

  • digital-twin-mcp: Package device data capabilities (digital twin / PLC) into MCP tools

The two can be combined in the future: templates such as "Device Health Report" in workflow templates can directly call this MCP's tools to fetch real data.

Roadmap

  • v0.1: Simulated PLC + 5 tools + 2 resources + 1 prompt (current)

  • v0.2: Real OPC-UA integration, time-series data persistence (SQLite/InfluxDB), WebSocket push

  • v0.3: 3D scene integration (scene layout resource connected to Three.js rendering), multi-factory instances

    TDQS

    A4.1/5.0

    Scored across 6 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool addresses a distinct concern: device enumeration, live metric read, historical metric retrieval, parameter write, alert checking, and a full scene snapshot. No two tools overlap in purpose, and the descriptions reinforce their boundaries.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tool names follow the verb_noun pattern in snake_case (list_devices, get_device_metrics, get_metric_history, set_device_value, check_alerts, get_scene_snapshot). The pattern is predictable and consistent.

    Tool Count5/5

    Six tools form a well-scoped set for a digital twin server, covering read, write, history, alerts, and snapshot use cases without bloat. The count is ideal for the domain and avoids both thin and heavy footprints.

    Completeness5/5

    The tool surface covers the full lifecycle of interacting with a simulated twin: listing devices, reading live metrics and history, writing values for control or fault injection, checking alerts, and obtaining a complete scene snapshot. No obvious gaps exist for the stated purpose.
