AI Agent Integration - Introduction

MCUViewer includes a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This allows AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot and Claude Code to connect to a running MCUViewer instance directly from your editor. The agent can then analyze the traces, automatically start and stop acquisition, create whole project and much more.

The MCP server is exposed over HTTP at http://localhost:<port>/mcp. The port can be changed in the Acquisition Settings window.

GitHub Copilot setup¶

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project with the following content:

{
  "servers": {
    "mcuviewer": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8765/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Claude Code setup¶

Create a .mcp.json file in your project root with the following content:

{
  "servers": {
    "mcuviewer": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8765/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Once the configuration file is in place and MCUViewer is running, your AI assistant will be able to connect to MCUViewer through the MCP server. It is possible to create multiple mcuviewer server json entries for multiple mcuviewer instances.
