kip-mcp-server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets an AI assistant look at your boat's Signal K data and help you design and install KIP dashboards.

Status: early development. The project is being built in phases. This first milestone sets up the project, tests, and automated checks. Features land next.

What it will do

• Look at your boat's data — find the Signal K values your boat reports (speed, wind, depth, batteries, engine, and so on).

• Suggest dashboards — propose a general dashboard plus ones for specific jobs (sailing, motoring, power, anchoring, navigation, weather), built from KIP's real widgets.

• Show you a preview first — you see a picture of each dashboard before anything is saved.

• Install them for you — with your OK, it writes the dashboards to your KIP setup (or hands you a file you can import yourself).
