Nothing serious here today

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

Connect this server

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.

Claude Code Claude Desktop Codex Cursor VS Code

run in your terminal

claude mcp add labmcp-scpi -- uvx labmcp-scpi

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "labmcp-scpi": {
      "args": [
        "labmcp-scpi"
      ],
      "command": "uvx"
    }
  }

[mcp_servers.labmcp-scpi]
command = "uvx"
args = ["labmcp-scpi"]

.cursor/mcp.json

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

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.

Generic SCPI Instrument — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Generic SCPI Instrument?

Generic SCPI Instrument 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-scpi was installed 261 times last week.

How do I connect Generic SCPI Instrument?

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-scpi straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use Generic SCPI Instrument?

The pypi package labmcp-scpi was installed 261 times in the last week. Week over week that is -34%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is Generic SCPI Instrument 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.
