Use sigrok-cli via MCP to initialize logic analyzers, capture signals, and decode protocols.
This is an open-source MIT-licensed MCP wrapper that exposes local sigrok-cli functionality for hardware initialization, acquisition, and protocol decoding; no keys or remote endpoints are declared. The main concerns are its inherent local code-execution and access to connected hardware/local data, which fit a caution rating rather than high risk based on the available materials.
The materials explicitly state that no keys or environment variables are required, and no API tokens, cloud credentials, or account authorization flows are described, so credential exposure and misuse risk appears low.
No remote endpoints are listed, and the description focuses on local sigrok-cli and logic analyzer functionality; there is no factual indication that user data is sent to external services.
The system checks confirm executes-code, and the MCP server claims to expose all sigrok-cli functionality, implying local invocation of underlying commands/processes and interaction with hardware. This is a normal capability for this type of tool, but the runtime environment and device-side impact should be considered.
Its functions include hardware initialization, signal acquisition, and protocol decoding, which commonly involve access to data from connected devices and may read/write capture outputs or configuration files. The materials do not show permissions beyond the stated purpose, but the data access surface objectively exists.
Positive factors include an auditable open-source repository and an MIT license, which lower risk; however, it comes from a third-party registry, has 0 stars, unknown maintenance status, and minimal README detail, so supply-chain maturity and ongoing maintenance still need verification.
