Mcp Rs232
Bridges Claude to RS232 serial ports for hardware communication. Exposes tools to list available ports, open connections with configurable baud rates, and read/write hex-encoded data. Also provides resources for querying port details and configurations. You'd reach for this when working with legacy industrial equipment, embedded systems, or any hardware that speaks serial. The hex encoding approach keeps things clean for binary protocols. Written in Python with a straightforward API that handles port lifecycle management. Useful for debugging serial devices, automating test equipment, or building interfaces to hardware that predates modern connectivity standards.
