Overview

What is aranet4-mcp-server?

aranet4-mcp-server is an MCP server that manages your Aranet4 CO₂ sensor. It scans nearby devices, fetches new data from the sensor's embedded memory, saves measurements to a local SQLite database, and allows querying recent or historical data—including optional visualizations. Built on the Aranet4-Python library, it is intended for users who want to monitor and track air quality through MCP-compatible clients.

How to use aranet4-mcp-server?

Clone the repository, prepare the environment (recommended with uv, alternative with pip install .), and add the server to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop or Cursor). After installation, start your client and ask init aranet4 for guided configuration, or manually edit config.yaml with the device's MAC address. Use the fetch_new_data tool to update the database, and query data with get_recent_data or get_data_by_timerange. Optionally, set up a cron job or LaunchAgent for automatic periodic fetching.

FAQ from aranet4-mcp-server

How does this server differ from the standalone aranet4-archiver?

aranet4-mcp-server includes MCP integration for use with MCP clients. For a pure Python version without MCP logic, see the separate aranet4-archiver project.

What dependencies are required to run aranet4-mcp-server?

The server depends on the Aranet4-Python library. Using uv is recommended; with pip, run pip install . inside the cloned repository.

Where is the measurement data stored?

All data is stored locally in a SQLite database created by the server. No external cloud service is required.

Can I get visualizations from aranet4-mcp-server?

Yes, for MCP clients that support images, you can ask for a plot when querying recent or historical data. The server will generate and display it.

How do I keep the database automatically updated?

You can set up a cron job (any platform) or a LaunchAgent (macOS) to run fetch-job.py periodically. An example plist file is included in the repository.
