MTIB MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that wraps the MTIB V2 gRPC API, enabling Claude Code to interact with embedded hardware test benches.

Setup

# Install
pip install -e .

# Regenerate proto stubs (if mtib_v2.proto changes)
./generate_proto.sh

Streaming data guarantee

UART and Zephyr log streams use persistent background buffers. When you call mtib_uart_open, a background task continuously drains the gRPC stream into a 5,000-entry ring buffer. Each entry gets a monotonic sequence number (cursor).

mtib_uart_open(target_id="nrf52840_dk")  →  { stream_key, status: "buffering" }
mtib_uart_read(stream_key, cursor=0)     →  { lines: [...], cursor: 347 }
# ... time passes, DUT keeps printing ...
mtib_uart_read(stream_key, cursor=347)   →  { lines: [...], cursor: 512 }
mtib_uart_close(stream_key)

As long as the ring buffer doesn't wrap (5,000 entries by default), no data is lost between reads.
