Serial

About

The Serial server provides AI assistants with robust capabilities for serial port communication, facilitating interaction with embedded systems, IoT devices, and hardware for debugging. It offers comprehensive control over serial ports, including listing, opening, writing, reading, and closing connections. Supporting various data formats like UTF-8, Hex, and Binary, this production-ready tool ensures cross-platform compatibility with real hardware integration and high performance built on the Tokio async runtime.

Key Features

• Cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS with automatic port detection.
• Multiple data formats (UTF-8, Hex, Binary) and timeout handling for robust communication.
• Complete serial control, including listing ports, connecting, sending/receiving data with full configuration.
• Seamless integration with AI assistants like Claude via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• 2 GitHub stars
• Production-ready with real hardware integration for 5 comprehensive serial communication tools.

Use Cases

• Enabling AI to manage communication with IoT devices and industrial systems via serial ports.
• Interfacing AI assistants with microcontrollers like STM32, Arduino, and ESP32 for development and control.
• Automating hardware debugging and testing processes by enabling AI to send and receive serial commands.
