Installation through the Store was simple, and integration between apps was stable from day one.

Great job on the curation of recommended apps.]]>

- 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

- 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.]]>
