Target Reference Server

Ugs MCP Overview

The zackpeters93/ugs-mcp MCP server connects an MCP-compatible assistant to Universal GCode Sender’s Pendant REST API for GRBL CNC control. It exposes connection, machine-status, job, motion, and G-code inspection tools, including jogging, homing, file execution, safety checks, translation, and time estimates. Motion operations require a server-generated, single-use confirmation token that the operator must read back before movement occurs. Use zackpeters93/ugs-mcp when a CNC setup runs UGS 2.x with its Pendant plugin and needs supervised AI-assisted control.
