Build MCP Server with command template.

Usage

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "commands": {
      "command": "/path/to/commands-mcp",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/your/project"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Example

A commands.yaml file should be placed in the root of your project. Here's an example:

# yaml-language-server: $schema=https://listenai.github.io/commands-mcp/schema/master/commands.json

commands:
  zephyr_build:
    description: Build the specified Zephyr application
    args:
      - name: board
        description: |
          The board identifier to build for. If it can't be determined from the
          context, it should be prompted for.
        required: true
      - name: source_dir
        description: |
          Path to the source directory of the Zephyr application to build.
          Defaults to the current working directory.
        default: .
      - name: pristine
        description: |
          If true, the build directory will be cleaned before building.
        default: false
    command: |
      source .venv/bin/activate
      west build -b {{board}} -s {{source_dir}} {{#if pristine}}--pristine{{/if}}

For code completion on the commands.yaml file, redhat.vscode-yaml extension is recommended.

The commands.yaml file

  • commands: The root key for command definitions.
    • <tool>: A tool named <tool>.
      • description: A description of what the command does.
      • args: A list of arguments for the command, if any.
        • name: The name of the argument.
        • description: A description of the argument.
        • type: The type of the argument (optional, accepts string, number, boolean, defaults to string).
        • required: Whether the argument is required (defaults to false).
        • default: The default value for the argument, if it is not required.
      • command: The command to run. Supports Handlebars templating for arguments.
      • shell: The shell used to execute the command. Defaults to "bash" on Unix-like systems and "powershell" on Windows. Also supports "python" for using Python script in the command.
      • venv: Optional path to a Python virtual environment to use. If specified, the command will be executed with the specified venv activated.

Python support

If the shell is set to python, the command will be executed using Python. If a virtual environment is specified in the venv field, it will be activated before executing the command.

commands:
  some_python_script:
    description: A python script that does something
    shell: python
    venv: .venv
    command: |
      import sys
      print(f"Running Python {sys.version} in virtual environment {sys.prefix}")

Built-in tools

In addition to the commands defined in commands.yaml, the MCP Server provides several built-in tools, which can be enabled in the commands.yaml file with corresponding configuration.

Flash tools

Built-in tools for flashing firmware to LISTENAI devices.

flash:
  enabled: true         # Enable flash tools
  chip: mars            # Chip model, can be '6', 'mars'
  baudrate: 1500000     # Baud rate for flashing, defaults to 1500000

Serial tools

Built-in tools for reading logs from connected serial devices.

serial:
  enabled: true         # Enable serial tools
  baudrate: 115200      # Baud rate for serial communication, defaults to 115200
  reset: dtr            # Method to reset the device before reading logs, can be
                        # 'dtr' or 'rts'. If not specified, no reset will be performed.
  reset_interval: 100   # Interval in milliseconds between the reset line is
                        # asserted and deasserted, defaults to 100ms.

Schematic tools

Built-in tools to help the AI better understand the hardware schematic of the board. For details about the schematic files, see the Schematic.

schematic:
  enabled: true                 # Enable schematic tools
  board: csk6_duomotai_devkit   # Board name, should match the board file defined
                                # in `boards_dir`.
  socs_dir: schematic/socs      # Directory containing SoC-level schematic
                                # definitions. Defaults to "schematic/socs".
  boards_dir: schematic/boards  # Directory containing board-level schematic
                                # definitions. Defaults to "schematic/boards".
