Allows scanning and detecting nearby Bluetooth devices, with the ability to filter devices by name
Bluetooth MCP Server
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.

Internet connection (for package installation)
🚀 Quick Start
Installation
Running the Server
Using with Claude
Expose your server to the internet using ngrok or deploy it to a server:
ngrok http 8000Configure Claude to use your MCP server:
npx @anthropic-ai/sdk install-model-context-protocol <YOUR_SERVER_URL>Ask Claude to scan for Bluetooth devices:
Could you scan for nearby Bluetooth devices?
🧪 Testing

🔧 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
