MCP × obniz — AI Operations

Let AI
watch the floor

Through the MCP server, Claude or Cursor can read and reason directly over the live state of every device.

Just ask: "Summarize devices that failed last week" or "Rank the sites I should visit tomorrow". The AI accesses obniz Now data directly, automating operational decisions and maintenance planning.

Cross-fleet analytics

AI spots anomaly trends and shared failure patterns across all your devices

Auto-drafted maintenance plans

Suggest visit priorities from operating data. AI even drafts the report

Natural-language operations

Talk to it from Slack or Cursor. No purpose-built dashboard to learn

Talk about AI integration
U
Operations

Rank last week's frequent-error elevators by failure risk. Draft the report for me.

Claude via MCP
now.list_errors("7d", "elevator") → 23 events
now.predict_failure() → high 3 / mid 5
now.draft_report() → ok

8 units flagged. Top priority: Shibuya Tower #3 (over-discharge trend + 8 errors/day). Report draft has been shared.

* The MCP server works with both obniz Cloud and obniz Now. Currently in Developer Preview.

Devices

obnizOS Devices

Cloud-connected devices running a dedicated OS. Setup, cloud link, and MCP / API / code access are the same on every model — you only choose the interfaces your site needs.

Shared by every device

Four things every device has

01

Dedicated OS: obnizOS

One embedded OS across every device. Reconnection, key management, and power control are handled by the OS, so there is no device firmware to write.

  • Remote OS updates (under a minute over Wi-Fi)
  • Microcontroller-based — no kernel-level malware
  • Add on-device logic with Lua

02

Setup features

No dedicated app required. Configure the network over USB, Wi-Fi, or a browser — even on site by the customer.

  • Wi-Fi / Ethernet / LTE connection setup
  • Register devices with a QR code
  • Bulk provisioning with obniz-cli

03

Cloud link

Power on and the device connects to obniz Cloud on its own. Authentication, encryption, and health monitoring come standard.

  • End-to-end TLS 1.2 with elliptic-curve crypto
  • Per-device public-key authentication
  • Auto-reconnect and offline queueing

04

MCP, APIs, and code

Through obniz Cloud, every device is reachable the same way from AI agents, APIs, and SDKs.

  • MCP server for direct control from Claude and others
  • REST / GraphQL / WebSocket APIs
  • JavaScript SDK with a 100+ parts library

obniz Technology

Technology

IoT lets you operate machines remotely and stay aware of their state. But traditionally, IoT projects required hardware engineering, firmware, network, and cloud expertise — each with its own toolchain and language.

obniz delivers communications, network, cloud, and analytics out of the box, with no on-device firmware development. This is our patented technology.

Because every customer runs on the same managed software, we can offer dramatic cost reductions and short deployment timelines.

obniz for Developers

Reach every device from anywhere through obniz Cloud's APIs, SDKs, and MCP. Use the open-source JavaScript / TypeScript SDK from Node.js or the browser, or let AI agents drive devices via MCP. The online editor in obniz Cloud means you can start in the browser with zero setup.

Developer docs Open GitHub
app.js 
// Connect and orchestrate two devices
const front = new Obniz("8719-6211", {
  access_token: "token_5OyixjxkG7rSFjzSYKNx7"
});
const motor = new Obniz("8519-6010", {
  access_token: "token_5OyixjxkG7rSFjzSYKNx7"
});

let temperature = 0;

front.onloop = async () => {
  temperature = await front.ad0.getWait() / 25.0f;
};

motor.onloop = async () => {
  motor.io0.output(temperature > 10);
};
