# ByteAsk Embedded Docs MCP Page-cited retrieval over embedded systems documentation, datasheets, reference manuals, RTOS documentation, coding standards, and firmware engineering references for AI coding agents. **Registry Namespace:** `ai.byteask/embedded-docs` **Endpoint:** `https://mcp.byteask.ai/mcp` **Documentation:** https://docs.byteask.ai/embedded **GitHub:** https://github.com/ByteAsk/ByteAsk-Embedded-MCP --- # Why This MCP Exists Modern AI coding agents are excellent at generating code, but often struggle when working with vendor-specific embedded documentation, hardware reference manuals, firmware SDKs, and coding standards. Embedded engineers routinely need answers from: * STM32 Reference Manuals * ARM Cortex-M Technical Reference Manuals * CMSIS Documentation * FreeRTOS Documentation * Zephyr Documentation * ESP-IDF Documentation * Nordic SDK Documentation * NXP Documentation * MISRA C * MISRA C++ * AUTOSAR * Device Datasheets * Vendor Application Notes Searching these sources manually can require navigating hundreds or thousands of pages of documentation. ByteAsk Embedded Docs MCP gives AI coding agents direct access to these references and returns page-cited answers grounded in source documentation. --- # Features ## Page-Cited Retrieval Every answer is grounded in source documentation with citations to the original reference. This enables engineers to verify claims directly against vendor documentation. --- ## Documentation Search Search across embedded and firmware engineering references. Examples: * Peripheral configuration * Register descriptions * DMA setup * Interrupt handling * Clock configuration * RTOS APIs * MISRA compliance questions * ARM architecture details --- ## Agent-Native Works directly with MCP-compatible tools including: * Claude Code * Claude Desktop * Cursor * Windsurf * VS Code MCP Clients * GitHub Copilot MCP * Any MCP-compatible agent --- ## Remote Hosted No indexing, crawling, or local setup required. The server is hosted by ByteAsk and continuously updated. --- # Example Prompts ## STM32 ```text Find the STM32H7 Ethernet DMA initialization sequence. ``` ```text Show the documentation for STM32 timer input capture. ``` ```text Find the register definition for RCC clock configuration. ``` --- ## ARM Cortex-M ```text Explain NVIC interrupt priority configuration on Cortex-M4. ``` ```text Find documentation for SysTick configuration. ``` ```text Show Cortex-M exception handling behavior. ``` --- ## CMSIS ```text Find the CMSIS documentation for NVIC_SetPriority. ``` ```text Show CMSIS APIs related to interrupt control. ``` --- ## FreeRTOS ```text Find documentation for task notifications. ``` ```text Compare queues and task notifications in FreeRTOS. ``` ```text Show examples of FreeRTOS software timers. ``` --- ## MISRA ```text Find MISRA C rules related to pointer arithmetic. ``` ```text Show MISRA C++ guidance on exception handling. ``` ```text Find rules regarding dynamic memory allocation. ``` --- ## Zephyr ```text Find Zephyr GPIO driver documentation. ``` ```text Show examples of Zephyr work queues. ``` ```text Explain Zephyr device tree configuration. ``` --- # Supported Knowledge Domains ## Embedded Systems * Microcontrollers * SoCs * Device Drivers * Peripherals * DMA * Interrupts * Timers * GPIO * UART * SPI * I2C * CAN * Ethernet * USB ## Firmware Engineering * RTOS Development * Bare-Metal Development * Bootloaders * Hardware Abstraction Layers * Embedded Networking * Memory Management ## Documentation Sources * Reference Manuals * Datasheets * SDK Documentation * Application Notes * Programming Manuals * Technical Reference Manuals * Architecture Specifications ## Coding Standards * MISRA C * MISRA C++ * AUTOSAR * Embedded Best Practices --- # Installation Use the MCP endpoint: ```text https://mcp.byteask.ai/mcp ``` Refer to the documentation for client-specific installation instructions: https://docs.byteask.ai/embedded --- # Example Workflow Engineer asks: ```text How do I configure Ethernet DMA on STM32H7? ``` Agent: 1.

MCP readiness
Readiness is how fully this listing follows its protocol and how it behaved in our probes over 30 days. It is shown for reference and does not move it in search. Search order and leaderboards use the separate quality grade (here C+, 70.0/100), which weighs availability, conformance, p95 speed and descriptor. How the two differ
| Valid MCP handshake | 10/10 | initialize and tools/list both answered. |
| Live MCP endpoint | 24/25 | Endpoint answers the MCP initialize handshake (3112 ms); slow response -1. |
| Protocol revision | 8/10 | Speaks MCP 2025-11-25, 1 revision(s) behind 2026-07-28. |
| Signed descriptor | n/a | No MCP standard defines a signed server descriptor. |
| Uptime (30 days) | 15/15 | 30/30 probes succeeded over 30 days (100%). |
| Tool declaration | 10/10 | Lists 3 tool(s) with descriptions. |
| Verified identity | 5/10 | Publisher declared (repository, package or homepage); claim this listing to verify domain control. |
| Freshness + modern flags | 4/5 | seen in a source within 7 days. |
| Auth declaration | 2/5 | Declares credential scheme: smithery_api_key. |
