labmcp-epics MCP

An MCP server for EPICS Channel Access that allows AI agents to read, monitor, and perform guarded writes of process variables. It utilizes caproto, a pure-Python implementation, requiring no compilation or external C libraries. Designed for scientific instruments like particle accelerators and beamlines, it supports simulated testing and connects via standard CA network protocols.
