labmcp-micro-manager MCP

An MCP server that enables AI agents to control microscopes managed by Micro-Manager via the MMCore API and pymmcore-plus. It supports capturing images, acquiring z-stacks and time-lapses, adjusting stage position and focus, switching optical channels and objectives, setting exposure times, operating shutters, and running autofocus routines on compatible hardware.
