J-Link MCP
An MCP server that connects AI assistants to embedded hardware via SEGGER J-Link debug probes. It allows LLMs to flash firmware, halt and step execution, stream RTT logs, and decode ARM Cortex-M faults by reading registers and memory against real hardware targets like the nRF52840-DK.
Package and access
Local package with source-attributed installation metadata. Koskamo does not execute packages during review.
What you can do with it
- Diagnose CPU crashes and decode fault registers
- Read peripheral registers using CMSIS-SVD files
- Stream Real-Time Transfer (RTT) logs from devices
- Flash and control embedded firmware execution
Source and maintenance
- Maintenance checked
