Motor Current Signature Analysis MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) - non-invasive spectral analysis and fault detection in electric motors using stator-current signals. Its 21 documented tools cover compute, signal, detect, file. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with compute, signal and detect and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Motor Current Signature Analysis

Claude Code

claude mcp add lgdimaggio-mcp-motor-current-signature-a -- uvx mcp-server-mcsa

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lgdimaggio-mcp-motor-current-signature-a": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-mcsa"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package mcp-server-mcsa - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.LGDiMaggio is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Motor Current Signature Analysis can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can inspect a signal file format and metadata without loading, load a current signal from CSV / WAV / NPY file → returns signal_id, calculate expected fault frequencies for all common fault types, and detect and characterise peaks in a spectrum.

Capability map

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Motor Current Signature Analysis lets an agent do.

Compute

7 tools - e.g. Calculate expected fault frequencies for all common fault types; Calculate BPFO, BPFI, BSF, FTF from bearing geometry; Single-sided FFT amplitude spectrum → returns spectrum_id

06 · Motor Current Signature Analysis FAQ

Is Motor Current Signature Analysis still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-09-18, its last commit was 2026-05-29. We re-verify nightly.

What can Motor Current Signature Analysis do?

How do I install Motor Current Signature Analysis?

Run `uvx mcp-server-mcsa`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Motor Current Signature Analysis run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
