KIP MCP Server

This community MCP server enables AI assistants to analyze real-time Signal K data from a vessel and assist in designing and installing KIP dashboards. It suggests dashboard layouts for specific activities like sailing or anchoring, provides visual previews before saving, and writes the configuration to the KIP setup only after user approval.
