Serial MCP Server runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 131 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 8 Mar 2026.
Let AI agents interact with serial devices — list ports, connect, send, and read.

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
SERIAL_MCP_MAX_CONNECTIONS (Maximum simultaneous open serial connections (default 10)), SERIAL_MCP_PLUGINS (Plugin policy: 'all' or comma-separated plugin names. Unset = disabled), SERIAL_MCP_MIRROR (PTY mirror mode: 'off' (default), 'ro' (read-only), or 'rw' (read-write). macOS/Linux only), SERIAL_MCP_MIRROR_LINK (Base path for PTY symlinks (default /tmp/serial-mcp when mirror is enabled). Connections get numbered: /tmp/serial-mcp0, /tmp/serial-mcp1, etc), SERIAL_MCP_TOOL_SEPARATOR (Tool name separator character (default '.'). Set to '_' for clients that reject dots (e.g. Cursor)).
