## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 49/100
  - Malware scan not yet available for this package.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.

  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (16)

### `board_status` (~39 tokens)

Rail current/voltage, faults, protection limits, and every channel's name,
mode, travel limits, speed and current position (0 = off).

### `move_servos` (~93 tokens)

Move one or more servos and wait until they arrive.

positions: {channel number or name: pulse width in us}, e.g. {"0": 1200}.
duration_s: time for all to arrive together (0 = each channel's own speed).
Positions are clamped to each channel's limits. Turns channels on if off.

Input parameters:

- `duration_s` (number)
- `positions` (object, required)

### `disable_servos` (~32 tokens)

Stop driving the given channels (numbers or names); the servos go limp.

Input parameters:

- `channels` (array, required)

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `stop_all` (~16 tokens)

Panic stop: every channel off immediately.

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `list_poses` (~24 tokens)

Poses and the sequence saved from the GUI (servogui.json).

### `go_to_pose` (~41 tokens)

Move to a saved pose (see list_poses) and wait until it arrives.

Input parameters:

- `duration_s` (number)
- `name` (string, required)

### `play_sequence` (~50 tokens)

Play the GUI's saved sequence of poses (move and hold times as saved),
repeated `loops` times. Stops early on a fault; capped at 120 s.

Input parameters:

- `loops` (integer)

### `read_analog` (~41 tokens)

Read channel 0-7 as an analog input (0-4095 counts, 0-3.3 V).

Input parameters:

- `channel` (string, required)

### `measure_current` (~32 tokens)

Sample the servo-rail current continuously; returns peak, mean and min mA.

Input parameters:

- `seconds` (number)

### `set_protection` (~65 tokens)

Set the rail trip limits (0 disables either). Overcurrent is capped at
7500 mA: the board's continuous budget is ~5 A. Resets at power-up.

Input parameters:

- `overcurrent_ma` (integer, required)
- `undervoltage_mv` (integer)

### `clear_faults` (~26 tokens)

Clear a latched overcurrent/undervoltage fault so channels can move again.

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `upload_script` (~269 tokens)

Compile a servo script and store it in the board's flash, where the
firmware runs it without a PC (autorun: also start at every power-up).

One statement per line; channels by number or name; times in ms or '1.5s':
  label:                  jump/loop target
  move <ch> <us> [<time>] ramp there; does not wait: moves on different
                          channels run together, a repeat move of the
                          same channel waits for the previous one
  pose <name> [<time>]    move every channel of a GUI pose
  sync                    wait until all moves arrive
  wait <time>
  off <ch>|all
  loop <label> [<n>]      block runs n times in total; no n = forever
  jump <label>
  waitin <ch> >|< <0-4095>   wait for analog input ch (0-7)
  ifin <ch> >|< <0-4095>     run next statement only if true
  end
Positions are clamped to the channel limits. Max 254 instructions.

Input parameters:

- `autorun` (boolean)
- `run` (boolean)
- `script` (string, required)

### `script_status` (~22 tokens)

What script is stored on the board, and whether it is running.

### `run_script` (~16 tokens)

Start the stored script from the top.

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `stop_script` (~25 tokens)

Stop the stored script; servos keep their positions (stop_all to let go).

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `release_port` (~41 tokens)

Close the serial port now (servos keep holding) so the GUI or flash.py
can use the board. It reopens automatically on the next tool call.

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

## Common questions

### What is the USB Servo Controller MCP server?

USB Servo Controller is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.Lukasz-Juranek/usb-servo-controller. Drive 12 hobby servos on an open-hardware USB-C controller: moves, poses, sequences, rail current. This page covers its PyPI package (ucan-servo-mcp).

### Is the USB Servo Controller MCP server safe to use?

USB Servo Controller scores 51 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the USB Servo Controller MCP server expose?

USB Servo Controller exposes 16 tools: board_status, move_servos, disable_servos, stop_all, list_poses, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 832 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the USB Servo Controller MCP server still maintained?

USB Servo Controller is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the USB Servo Controller MCP server under?

USB Servo Controller declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
