Beacio SDK MCP

What Beacio SDK MCP MCP server does

Beacio SDK MCP MCP server is the optional MCP package in the Beacio SDK repository. It is intended for AI coding agents working with Web Bluetooth applications, particularly applications that need to run on iOS Safari. The repository identifies three MCP-related capabilities: scaffolding, Bluetooth UUID lookup, and extension detection.

The broader SDK provides the browser-side implementation for working with Bluetooth Low Energy devices. Its core package supports scanning, connecting, GATT reads and writes, and notifications through subscriptions. The MCP package is positioned alongside that SDK rather than as a replacement for the browser runtime.

How it works

The package belongs to the @beacio/mcp workspace package. The repository also provides a beacio scaffolding command, invoked with npx beacio init, for starting a project that uses the SDK. The available material does not document the MCP server’s transport, startup command, request format, or individual tool schemas.

At the application level, Beacio initializes its iOS Safari extension detection flow, requests a BLE device, connects to it, and then reads or subscribes to GATT characteristics. The SDK can also be used on Chrome and Edge for the scan-and-connect flow described in the README. These browser operations are separate from the MCP package’s role in helping an AI coding agent create or work with the application code.

Setup and configuration

The repository lists @beacio/mcp as an optional package, but the excerpt does not provide an installation command or configuration example specifically for the MCP server. It does document npx beacio init as the scaffolding CLI entry point.

For the browser SDK, install @beacio/core with npm. A plain HTML page can instead load https://beacio.com/beacio.js. On iOS Safari, applications can call the detection package to determine whether the extension is available and show an installation prompt when it is missing. The example configures an operator name, a banner mode, and a readiness callback.

Tools and capabilities

Beacio SDK MCP MCP server is described as providing:

• Project scaffolding through the Beacio CLI.
• Bluetooth service and characteristic UUID lookup.
• Detection of the iOS extension needed by the Web Bluetooth workflow.

The related SDK exposes BLE operations including device scanning, connection management, GATT reads and writes, and notification subscriptions. Optional packages add typed BLE profiles and React hooks such as useDevice and useCharacteristic. Those packages are part of the SDK ecosystem; the supplied material does not state that each is directly exposed as an MCP tool.

Limitations and notes

Beacio SDK MCP MCP server is documented only at a package-summary level in the supplied material. There is no supported client list, transport description, environment-variable configuration, authentication guidance, or complete tool reference. Confirm those details in the repository before adding it to a production agent configuration.

The SDK targets Web Bluetooth applications and has a specific iOS Safari extension flow. An agent using the package should account for extension detection on iOS Safari. The README’s browser example also mentions Chrome and Edge, but it does not define broader browser compatibility or device support.
