01 · Install Nickol Knx

before you install - you'll need

NICKOL_KNX_WORKSPACE is optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add nickoscope-nickol-knx-mcp -- uvx nickol-knx-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nickoscope-nickol-knx-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "nickol-knx-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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 nickol-knx-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

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

03 · What Nickol Knx can do

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

Limitations (from the README)

- command/status and category classification is a heuristic (DPT + names + ETS Functions). On messy projects with no Functions and non-standard names, false negatives/positives are possible - which is why the report is always for human review, and ambiguity goes to review, not into config. - DPT 5.001 is structurally ambiguous (brightness vs position); it's disambiguated by keywords - double-check with non-standard n
