MCP Server — AI Control for Raspberry Pi and Arduino UNO Q Devices

[admin]

MCP Server introduces a new way to interact with OrbitOS devices — built for automation, AI, and modern developer workflows.

- The first version is already available in the store and ready to install remotely on your devices.

It exposes the device through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling tools like Cursor and other compatible AI assistants to interact with the system using structured, well-defined capabilities — no custom scripts, no manual glue code.

---

- What does that actually mean?
Instead of writing scripts or manually connecting to your device, interactions become simple and direct.
With an MCP-compatible tool, you can:

• Query system status
  
• Install packages
  
• Reboot the device
  
• Read or control GPIO
  

All through clearly defined tools that are easy to integrate and reliable to use.

---

- What you can do with it
Inspect the system

• Hardware info, OS details, metrics, API versions
  

Manage applications

• List installed apps
  
• Install packages
  
• Remove packages
  

Handle updates

• Install OTA updates
  
• Perform factory reset
  

Control power

• Reboot or shut down with context
  

Work with GPIO

• Read/write pins
  
• Change direction
  
• Access by name or ID

- Example: Natural Language Interaction
Once connected to an MCP compatible client, you can interact with your device (e.g. Raspberry Pi or Arduino UNO Q) using simple natural language sentences such as:

• "What’s the current status of the device?"
  
• "List installed applications"
  
• "Install this package from file"
  
• "Reboot the device"
  
• "Set GPIO 17 to HIGH"
  
• "Check system metrics"
  

Instead of writing commands or scripts, the assistant understands your intent and maps it directly to MCP tools.


- Get device info and resources usage 



- List GPIOS 



- List installed applications




- Turn GPIO17 to hight level

⚙️ Client Configuration (ex. Cursor config)

Code:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "orbit-os": {
      "url": "http://<DEVICE_IP>:9999/mcp"
    }
  }
}

- Final note
MCP Server moves OrbitOS devices closer to AI-native infrastructure.
Define capabilities once — and any MCP-compatible tool can use them.
