# toio-mcp
toio-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for toio Core Cube. It provides a set of tools to control toio Core Cubes via the MCP protocol.
## Features
- Scan and connect to toio Core Cubes
- Control motors
- Control LED indicators (including repeated patterns and turning off)
- Get position information
- Play sounds (sound effects and MIDI notes)
- Get button state
- Get battery level
- Get sensor information (motion detection, posture angle, magnetic sensor)
## Installation
### Requirements
- Python 3.11 or higher
- [toio.py](https://github.com/toio/toio.py)
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
- [MCP Python SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/python-sdk) 1.7.1 or higher
### Step 1. Install `uv`
Follow the `Getting started` guide for `uv` to install it.
### Step 2. Clone the toio-mcp repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/comoc/toio-mcp.git
cd toio-mcp
```
### Step 3. Install dependencies
```bash
uv sync
```
## Usage
### Usage with Claude Desktop
Open Claude Desktop's `claude_desktop_config.json` (Settings → Developer → Edit Config) and add:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"toio-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"<path to toio-mcp directory>",
"run",
"server.py"
]
}
}
}
```
The config file lives at:
- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
Restart Claude Desktop after editing. The toio-mcp tools should appear in the tool picker.
### Usage with Claude Code
Register the server with the `claude mcp add` CLI:
```bash
claude mcp add toio-mcp -- uv --directory <path to toio-mcp directory> run server.py
```
Use `--scope user` to make it available across all projects, or omit the flag to keep it project-local. Verify with `claude mcp list` and start using the tools from any Claude Code session.
### Usage with Cline or Roo Code
Add the following configuration to your MCP settings file:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"toio-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"<path to toio-mcp directory>",
"run",
"server.py"
],
"alwaysAllow": [
"add"
],
"disabled": false
}
}
}
```
