labmcp-scpi MCP

A generic MCP server that allows AI agents to interface with any SCPI or IEEE 488.2 compliant laboratory instrument. It supports communication over GPIB, USBTMC, LAN (VXI-11, HiSLIP, raw socket), and RS-232 via VISA. The server includes safety features like command allow/deny lists and requires confirmation for write operations to prevent accidental instrument changes.
