ByteAsk - Embedded MCP Open Source
AI agents that cite datasheets instead of guessing register values
What is Byteask?
ByteAsk Embedded MCP is an open-source MCP server that connects Claude, Cursor, and other AI agents to authoritative embedded systems documentation - datasheets, register maps, and protocol specifications. Instead of generating plausible but unsourced answers, it retrieves exact spec values with page citations from IEEE, Arm, Modbus, CAN, MQTT, and SCPI standards, plus proprietary datasheets you upload. Built for firmware engineers and hardware teams who need agents that cite their sources.
