EV3 MCP Server

Enables MCP clients to drive a LEGO Mindstorms EV3 over Wi-Fi SSH, with tools for movement, turning, stopping, beeping, and listing connected devices. Includes a CLI chat client that translates natural language into robot commands via Hugging Face Inference Providers.

Limited view. Automated analysis covers part of this stack. Findings reflect what we verified. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

Limited view: static analysis for Python is partially covered.

// key findings
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
🔐
You'll be asked for 3 credentials: OPENAI_API_KEY, HF_TOKEN, EV3_PASSWORD
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.
configOPENAI_BASE_URL
🔐 secretOPENAI_API_KEYHF_TOKEN (required) Hugging Face token (Inference Providers). Also accepts .
🔐 secretHF_TOKEN1. Put in .env (https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens)
configOPENAI_MODEL2. Pick a tool-capable , then:
configUSE_UV1 Spawn EV3 server with uv run when 1
🔐 secretEV3_PASSWORDPassword (primary) Default path — set this in .env
configEV3_HOST"": "192.168.1.100",
configEV3_USER"": "robot",
configEV3_SSH_KEY_PATHSSH key (optional fallback) (default ~/.ssh/id_ev3) Used only when EV3_PASSWORD is unset
configEV3_LEFT_MOTOR/ EV3_RIGHT_MOTOR B / C Tank drive ports
configEV3_RIGHT_MOTOREV3_LEFT_MOTOR / B / C Tank drive ports

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

8/8 tools missing one or more hints — move_forward (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); move_backward (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); turn_left (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +5 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tool inputs are validated

4/8 tool handlers declare input schemas (50%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

Tool handlers catch errors

Only 1/8 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (13%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

License file

No license file

Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Shell command execution

1 child_process call — runs shell commands

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 7 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
