Model Context Protocol Server for Bluetooth Device Detection

🔍 Overview

This project implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Claude and other AI assistants to scan and interact with Bluetooth devices in your vicinity. Built with a Test-Driven Development approach, it provides a robust, tested interface for Bluetooth operations across multiple platforms.

✨ Features

  • 📡 Multi-protocol scanning: Detect both BLE and Classic Bluetooth devices

  • 🔎 Flexible filtering: Filter devices by name, type, or other attributes

  • 🔄 Automatic device recognition: Identify and categorize common devices (like Freebox, TVs, etc.)

  • 📱 Enhanced device information: Get manufacturer info, device type, and detailed characteristics

  • 🖥️ Cross-platform support: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux

  • Platform-specific optimizations: Enhanced detection capabilities on Windows

  • 🤖 MCP Integration: Seamless integration with Claude and compatible AI assistants

📋 Requirements

  • Python 3.7+

  • Bluetooth adapter (built-in or external)

  • Admin/sudo privileges (required for some Bluetooth operations)

  • Internet connection (for package installation)

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/yourusername/bluetooth-mcp-server.git cd bluetooth-mcp-server # Create and activate virtual environment python -m venv venv # On Windows venv\Scripts\activate # On macOS/Linux source venv/bin/activate # Install dependencies pip install -r requirements.txt # Configure environment variables cp .env.example .env # Edit the .env file as needed

Running the Server

# Start the Bluetooth API server python run.py # In another terminal, start the MCP server python bluetooth_mcp_server.py

Using with Claude

  1. Expose your server to the internet using ngrok or deploy it to a server:

    ngrok http 8000
  2. Configure Claude to use your MCP server:

    npx @anthropic-ai/sdk install-model-context-protocol <YOUR_SERVER_URL>
  3. Ask Claude to scan for Bluetooth devices:

    Could you scan for nearby Bluetooth devices?

🧪 Testing

This project follows a Test-Driven Development (TDD) approach with comprehensive test coverage:

# Run all tests pytest # Run specific test categories pytest tests/api/ # API tests pytest tests/models/ # Data model tests pytest tests/services/ # Service logic tests pytest tests/utils/ # Utility function tests

🏗️ Architecture

The project follows a modular architecture with clear separation of concerns:

bluetooth-mcp-server/ ├── app/ # Main application package │ ├── api/ # FastAPI endpoints │ ├── core/ # Core configuration │ ├── data/ # Static data (Bluetooth identifiers, etc.) │ ├── models/ # Data models │ ├── services/ # Business logic │ └── utils/ # Utility functions ├── mcp_sdk/ # MCP integration SDK └── tests/ # Test suites

For detailed architecture information, see architecture.md.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Bluetooth Issues

  • "Access denied" errors: Run the server with admin/sudo privileges

  • Adapter not detected: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled in your system settings

  • No devices found: Make sure there are discoverable Bluetooth devices nearby

  • Windows-specific issues: Check that Bluetooth services are active (services.msc)

MCP Issues

  • Tool not detected by Claude: Verify your MCP server URL is correct and accessible

  • Execution errors: Check the server logs for detailed error information
