Koskamo

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
