Sources and measurements
Inspect status, configure sources, start and stop acquisition, query retained samples and calculate statistics.
FEATURES · AUTOMATION
Your workbench, with an assistant.
Operate the running KymoStudio from Claude Code, Codex or another MCP client. 57 tools connect your assistant to sources, measurements, recordings, charts, traces, hotspots and live parameters.
The problem
An assistant can read your firmware, but not what the board actually does. Copying numbers out of a plot into a chat is slow, and it loses the context: which source, which time range, were values lost?
What KymoStudio does
A local MCP server lets your assistant query status, retained samples and statistics, arrange charts, control captures and set parameters – with bounded queries and only the access you grant.
How it works
- 1Enable MCPIn KymoStudio open Darstellung & Leistung → MCP-Steuerung, enable MCP and apply. Use the endpoint shown there.

What the assistant can do
Charts and workspaces
Create charts, assign signals, adjust views and save or load workspaces.
Capture, replay and export
Inspect trace sessions, hotspots and function flow, control captures and replay, export data or workspace images to granted folders.
Live parameters
List, create and set device parameters and wait for the device's confirmation – new in 2.7.
Measurement recordings
Start and stop a recording, open, check, export as CSV and close recordings; plus logs and the display rate for troubleshooting – new in 2.7.
You control access
MCP is off by default. Choose read-only access and grant import, export and capture folders.
Guided operation
The agent skill explains status checks, bounded queries, BUSY responses and waiting for captures and exports.

Key points
- Works with the running desktop app, not a copy of the data
- Local and authenticated; off until you enable it
- Read-only mode and granted folders limit what can change
- The adapter is included in the Windows installer
Honest limits
- Your AI client may send requested measurement data to its provider
- The adapter reads a local token file – do not paste its contents into a chat
- The plugin is distributed through GitHub, not through the official Anthropic or OpenAI directories
