OPC UA MCP Server
An MCP server that connects to OPC UA-enabled industrial systems, allowing AI agents to monitor, analyze, and control operational data in real time.
This project is ideal for developers and engineers looking to bridge AI-driven workflows with industrial automation systems.
Features
- Read OPC UA Nodes: Retrieve real-time values from industrial devices.
- Write to OPC UA Nodes: Control devices by writing values to specified nodes.
- Browse nodes: Request to list allopcua nodes
- Read multiple OPC UA Nodes: Retrieve multiple real-time values from devices.
- Write to multiple OPC UA Nodes: Control devices by writing values to multiple nodes.
- Seamless Integration: Works with MCP clients like Claude Desktop for natural language interaction.
Tools
The server exposes five tools:
read_opcua_node:- Description: Read the value of a specific OPC UA node.
- Parameters:
node_id(str): OPC UA node ID (e.g.,ns=2;i=2).
- Returns: A string with the node ID and its value (e.g., "Node ns=2;i=2 value: 42").
write_opcua_node:- Description: Write a value to a specific OPC UA node.
- Parameters:
node_id(str): OPC UA node ID (e.g.,ns=2;i=3).value(str): Value to write (converted based on node type).
- Returns: A success or error message (e.g., "Successfully wrote 100 to node ns=2;i=3").
Browse nodes:- Description: Read the value of a specific OPC UA node.
Read multiple OPC UA Nodes:- Description: Read the value of a specific OPC UA node.
Write to multiple OPC UA Nodes:- Description: Read the value of a specific OPC UA node.
Example Prompts
- "What’s the value of node ns=2;i=2?" → Returns the current value.
- "Set node ns=2;i=3 to 100." → Writes 100 to the node.
Installation
Prerequisites
- Python 3.13 or higher
