"Popular MCP tools commonly used by programmers" matching MCP servers:

Comprehensive development tools for Home Assistant, enabling file management, template testing, entity/state management, service calls, log access, and system information retrieval through MCP.

Set up Android TV, Google TV and Fire TV boxes over ADB on the local network: discover and pair boxes, set any launcher as the HOME app, install apps, take screenshots and run checks. No raw shell tool; the tools that change the box ask before they run.

Enables natural language interaction with Connhex IoT platform APIs for managing devices, telemetry, rules, and resources via MCP tools.

Enables read-only access to vehicle data via the unofficial Rivian GraphQL API, allowing users to monitor battery levels, OTA updates, and charging status. It provides tools to check vehicle state and user account information directly through Claude.

A collection of personal Model Context Protocol servers for tools like calendar, contacts, flights, home maintenance, iMessage, lawn care, mail, NextDNS, Obsidian search, Google Sheets, UniFi, weather, and YNAB, packaged as a uv workspace with Claude Code and Codex plugin support.

Gives PC AI agents real-world senses by connecting to an Android phone's camera, sensors, and files over local Wi-Fi without cloud relay or ADB.

Enables controlling and monitoring INSTAR IP cameras over MQTT, with tools to set and query camera settings, wait for state changes, check connectivity, retrieve snapshots, and list capabilities.

Provides AI agents with real-time physical perception data including object detections, positions, sounds, and environmental readings via MCP tools.

MCP server for Smart Compost platform that lets LLM agents list composting processes/devices and pull measurements as read-only tools.

Lets an MCP client control an NVIDIA Shield TV over the Android TV Remote protocol v2 by pressing remote keys, launching allow-listed apps, waking or sleeping the device, and reading its power state and foreground app.

Enables LLM agents to explore and audit a Home Assistant home through read-only tools for searching entities, checking live states, listing areas, and retrieving a home summary.

Enables AI agents to build freeform dashboards for e-ink panels by listing widgets and devices, laying out a canvas, rendering a preview, and pushing to the panel.

Enables AI clients to discover, occupy, and operate LAN hardware devices that speak the BMAHS protocol by mapping their actions to MCP tools.

Control your DCC model railroad by voice or chat through any MCP client, with dynamic discovery of layout elements from JMRI.

Enables control of SwitchBot devices by name, reducing the risk of AI misidentifying device IDs.

Enhanced Home Assistant MCP server with 22 context efficient tools for smart home control, automation trace debugging, entity registry management, CEL expression queries, and long-term statistics.

Enables MCP clients to drive a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 over Wi-Fi SSH, with tools for movement, turning, stopping, beeping, and listing connected devices. Includes a CLI chat client that translates natural language into robot commands via Hugging Face Inference Providers.

MCP server for PTC ThingWorx, the IIoT platform, providing 8 tools for AI agents to read live state and trigger actions across the industrial asset graph with env-gated safety for writes and invocations.

Enables Claude to analyze STL/3MF models, slice them with the real Bambu Studio engine, compare print recipes by time and weight, and manage presets for Bambu Lab printers. It produces ready-to-print .3mf project files with material and build-plate settings applied, all locally on the user's PC.

Enables Claude Desktop to control serial-port devices like network craft ports, radios, rotators, and microcontrollers by sending commands and reading responses until a prompt or available output.

Enables LLM clients to discover, occupy, and control BMAHS protocol hardware devices on the local network by dynamically exposing device operations as MCP tools.

Enables MCP clients to control DG-Lab Coyote 2.0/3.0 devices via Bluetooth, providing tools for device scanning, connection, strength adjustment, wave design, and emergency stop.

Exposes digital twin device data capabilities as MCP tools, allowing MCP clients to query device status, read real-time metrics, fetch time-series data, and check alerts. Includes a simulated PLC driver with a clean interface for connecting real devices via OPC-UA, Modbus, or gateway APIs.

Central user-state database MCP server with durable profile facts and live virtual sensors (stress, room intensity) with configurable smoothing, readable by any agent or smart-home service.

An MCP server for controlling Zero 88 lighting consoles running ZerOS over OSC, exposing playbacks, cues, the grand master, blackout, and user macros as MCP tools.

Integrates HomeMatic smart home devices (via CCU3, RaspberryMatic, or debmatic) as MCP tools, enabling natural language query and control of rooms, devices, programs, and system variables.

Gives AI assistants structured, read-only-by-default access to Hobart commercial dishwashers through the SmartConnect Cloud-to-Cloud API, covering machine lists, active errors, wash and rinse temperatures, daily water/energy/detergent consumption, and per-cycle hygiene records. Optional write tools, off unless explicitly enabled and confirmed, allow registering machines and adjusting dosage, density, and autostart settings.

Exposes Justworx devices to AI agents as MCP tools and resources, backed by the public Developer API. Supports local stdio and hosted remote OAuth operation for controlling device IO, rules, and viewing live state.

Enables Claude to create, update, and manage LED patterns on a PixelBlaze controller, including setting brightness and reading device info, through a set of tools that interact with the device's API.

Enables reading OBD-II diagnostics from a vehicle through a Bluetooth ELM327 adapter, providing tools for sensor data, DTCs, and vehicle info.
