Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Lake Shore Temperature Controller every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add labmcp-lakeshore -- uvx labmcp-lakeshore
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "labmcp-lakeshore": {
      "args": [
        "labmcp-lakeshore"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }
}

[mcp_servers.labmcp-lakeshore]
command = "uvx"
args = ["labmcp-lakeshore"]
.cursor/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "labmcp-lakeshore": {
      "args": [
        "labmcp-lakeshore"

    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: LABMCP_ADDRESS (Instrument address, e.g. serial:///dev/ttyUSB0 or tcp://192.168.1.50:5025), LABMCP_SIMULATE (Set to 1 to use the built-in simulator (no hardware)), LABMCP_READ_ONLY (Set to 1 to disable all state-changing tools), LABMCP_LIMITS (Safety limit overrides, e.g. max_temperature_c=80). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Lake Shore Temperature Controller — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Lake Shore Temperature Controller?
Lake Shore Temperature Controller runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package labmcp-lakeshore was installed 255 times last week.
How do I connect Lake Shore Temperature Controller?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls labmcp-lakeshore straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Lake Shore Temperature Controller?
The pypi package labmcp-lakeshore was installed 255 times in the last week. Week over week that is -33%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Lake Shore Temperature Controller open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python and 19 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
