labmcp-alicat MCP
An MCP server that enables AI agents to interact with Alicat Scientific mass flow meters, controllers, and pressure gauges via ASCII serial protocol. It supports reading flow, pressure, and temperature data, setting flow or pressure setpoints, switching gas calibration, taring sensors, and controlling valves. It works with RS-232, RS-485, USB, and Ethernet-connected devices.
