This server provides an MCP interface to a LAVA (Linaro Automated Validation Architecture) instance, allowing AI agents to query the board farm, manage test jobs, and interact with hardware test infrastructure.

Observation & Discovery

• whoami / version — Identify the authenticated user and LAVA server version

• list_devices / get_device — List or inspect devices with filters by type, health, or state

• get_device_dictionary — Get a device's rendered Jinja2/YAML configuration

• get_qdl_info — Summarize QDL/flash capabilities (useful for Qualcomm boards)

• list_device_types / list_workers — List device types and dispatcher workers

Job Monitoring

• list_jobs / get_job — List or inspect test jobs with filters (state, health, submitter, device type)

• get_job_definition — Retrieve the original YAML job definition

• get_job_logs — Fetch job logs with optional line range filtering

• get_job_results — Get test-case pass/fail results

• get_queue / get_running / get_lab_health — View queue, running job counts, and overall lab health

Job Management (Write Operations)

• validate_job — Validate a YAML job definition without submitting

• submit_job — Submit a job and receive new job ID(s)

• cancel_job / resubmit_job — Cancel or resubmit jobs

• set_job_priority — Adjust a job's queue priority (0–100)

Additional Features

• Read-only mode: Disable write operations for safe observation (--read-only)

• Credential flexibility: Supports per-request HTTP header auth (multi-user) or environment-based auth

• Flexible transport: Runs over stdio or streamable HTTP, with optional HTTPS via Caddy

• SSH gateway: In hosted mode, enables an SSH rendezvous for board sessions without inbound worker access

• Interactive board sessions (hosted mode): Open sessions to boards, run commands (e.g., fastboot, adb), and close sessions

1. Click on "Deploy Server".

2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.

3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@lava-mcp list devices available in the board farm"

That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
