# ECU SOFT Tools — Local MCP

**Official ECU SOFT public catalog and MCP installer.**

## Recommended working distribution: v0.2.1 (dynamic)

[Download ECU SOFT Tools MCPB v0.2.1](ECU-SOFT-Tools-Local-MCP-v0.2.1.mcpb) · [Installation guide](ECU-SOFT-TOOLS-LOCAL-MCP.md) · [SHA-256](SHA256SUMS.txt)

**The original rule remains: install the MCPB once.** It refreshes capability definitions from the official GitHub catalog. For tools whose executable sources are available through its configured downloader, the client fetches and verifies each tool as needed. Adding a compatible public tool does not require rebuilding the MCPB.


## Current tool catalog

- **Toyota BIN Inspector:** 5 read-only catalog capabilities; source currently available through the original public downloader.
- **Binary Inspector:** 1 read-only catalog capability; source currently available through the original public downloader.
- **IVECO Suite Pro:** 23 capabilities (14 inspection; 9 candidate-edit), with 8 source-defined VCM families and Bosch EDC17CV41/EDC7UC31 detection and analysis functions. Its manifest is listed publicly, but **the original private IVECO executable engine is not available for automatic download by v0.2.1**. Catalog discovery does **not** yet mean it can be executed. Do not promise automatic private-tool execution until an authorized distribution method is explicitly approved and tested.

**Do not confuse discovery and execution.** A manifest can appear immediately after GitHub sync while its source distribution still needs configuration. Neither the number of tools in the list nor catalog sync alone proves execution.

## Connect locally

- **Watcher Eye:** Plugins → Add → Install MCPB bundle → Preview → Install → Use in chat.
- **Compatible Claude Desktop extensions:** import the MCPB as a local extension.
- **Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, and compatible stdio clients:** extract the MCPB into a permanent folder and register its `runtime/mcp_server.py` command with Python.
- **Ollama:** requires an MCP-compatible agent/front end; Ollama alone is a model runner.
- **ChatGPT Web / Claude Web:** cannot directly execute this local stdio MCPB.

## Public catalog / private sources

The **public repository** is intended for documentation, tool manifests and the user-downloadable MCPB. The separate **private source repository** stores original engineering source. Older Toyota/Binary Python files are **still present on the public branch** because v0.2.1 dynamically downloads them. Deleting these files without a compatible source-distribution path would break existing users. Keeping sources private while supporting download-and-run of newly added tools still requires a deliberately approved executable distribution mechanism.

A user-downloadable MCPB or tool package may contain code; users who receive it can inspect it. The project does **not** claim to prevent extraction of code given to users.

### Security

Execution of downloaded Python requires host permission and per-call approval; this is **not an OS sandbox**. Candidate files must never overwrite the original BIN. No ECU flashing is implemented by the MCPB.


## بالعربية

**الإصدار الموصى به حاليًا هو MCPB v0.2.1 الديناميكي.** ثبّته مرة واحدة، ويقدر يحدّث كتالوج الأدوات من GitHub. اكتشاف أداة جديدة لا يضمن تشغيلها من غير وجود مصدر تنفيذي متاح.

أدوات Toyota وBinary القديمة عندها سورس متاح للتنزيل حسب التصميم الأصلي. تعريف **IVECO Suite Pro** ظهر في الكتالوج، لكن تشغيل سورسها الخاص تلقائيًا **ليس جاهزًا**. هنحافظ على الفصل بين Public وPrivate، وما نغيّرش طريقة التوزيع من غير قرار صريح.
