Chiplab MCP Server

Chiplab is a hosted MCP service. Your AI coding agent connects to it, uploads compiled firmware, runs it on a virtual instance of a real microcontroller, and reads back the UART output.

Teams that work with agentic ai, hardware and software and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process.
