Electronics MCP Servers Overview

Electronics MCP Servers MCP server provides 14 electronics engineering tools for resistor values, capacitor calculations, and GPIO pin references. It runs as a Python MCP server through a client configuration using the package's module entry point or the uvx executable. GPIO tools cover ESP32 DevKitC, Arduino UNO R3, and STM32F103C8T6 boards. Reach for it when an agent needs component calculations or board pin information during embedded development.

Primary Use Cases for Electronics MCP Servers:
  • Decode resistor color bands
  • Calculate RC timing values
  • Find standard resistor values
  • Look up GPIO peripheral pins
