Overview

The tinySA_mcp project is an experimental MCP server designed to operate a TinySA device via a serial port, utilizing Python libraries for a tool-based interface.

To use tinySA_mcp, ensure Python >=3.13 is installed, install the required dependencies, and run the MCP server using the command: python tinySA_Operator.py.

  • Automatic detection and connection to a TinySA device. - Send commands and retrieve responses from the device. - Retrieve firmware and hardware version information. - Disconnect the device as needed. - Exposes MCP tools for integration with other systems. - Supports image capture from the device screen, with optional file saving. - Basic troubleshooting messages for connection issues.
  1. Operating TinySA devices for signal analysis.
  2. Automating commands and retrieving data from TinySA devices.
  3. Capturing and saving images from the TinySA screen for documentation.

Use these steps to connect tinysa-mcp in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinysa-mcp-manahiyo831": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tinysa-mcp-manahiyo831"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinysa-mcp-manahiyo831": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tinysa-mcp-manahiyo831"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinysa-mcp-manahiyo831": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tinysa-mcp-manahiyo831"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "tinysa-mcp-manahiyo831": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tinysa-mcp-manahiyo831"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinysa-mcp-manahiyo831": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tinysa-mcp-manahiyo831"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tinysa-mcp-manahiyo831": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
