 # Arduino MCP Server
 
-Arduino MCP server for `arduino-cli` workflows: dependency checks/install, hardware detection, compile/upload, serial monitoring, and board reference lookup.
+Arduino MCP server for `arduino-cli` workflows: dependency checks/install, hardware detection, compile/upload, serial monitoring, board reference lookup, and safety preflight checks.
 
-## Quick Start
-Install globally:
+This repository includes:
+- `server.json` for MCP Registry metadata.
+- `manifest.json` for Claude Desktop MCP bundle (`.mcpb`) packaging.
+
+## Description
+Use this server to automate Arduino setup and development tasks from an MCP client while keeping operations local to your machine.
+
+## Features
+- Arduino CLI dependency diagnosis and guided installation
+- Board/port detection with FQBN inference
+- Core installation checks and optional auto-install
+- Sketch compile/upload workflows
+- Upload-and-wait serial readiness flow
+- Stateful serial sessions (`open`, `read`, `expect`, `write`, `close`)
+- Electrical safety preflight checks
+- Board reference resource and setup prompts
+
+## Requirements
+- Node.js 20+
+- `arduino-cli` on `PATH`, or install/configure it through provided tools
+
+## Installation
+Install from npm:
 
 ```bash
 npm install -g arduino-mcp-server
 ```
 
-Add to your AI agent MCP config.

+## Usage Examples
+Example 1: Bootstrap missing Arduino CLI
+
+User prompt:
+```text
+Check if Arduino CLI is installed and install it automatically if missing.
 ```
 
-## Features
-- `arduino_cli_doctor` and `install_arduino_cli` for dependency bootstrap
-- `detect_hardware` with board/FQBN inference and user-confirmation guidance
-- `ensure_core_installed` with automatic core setup from FQBN
-- `compile_sketch` and `upload_sketch` with optional auto core install
-- Serial monitoring and board/port listing tools
-- Local board reference resource and setup prompts
+Expected tool sequence:
+1. `arduino_cli_doctor`
+2. `install_arduino_cli` (when missing)
+3. `arduino_cli_doctor` (re-check)
 
-## Requirements
-- Node.js 20+
-- `arduino-cli` available on `PATH` (or let the server install it via tools)
+Example 2: Compile and upload a sketch
 
-## Configuration
-- `ARDUINO_CLI_PATH`: Arduino CLI command/path (default: `arduino-cli`)
-- `ARDUINO_SKETCH_ROOT`: optional absolute root for sketch operations
+User prompt:
+```text
+Compile D:/Projects/arduino-sketches/Blink for arduino:avr:uno and upload it to COM6.
+```
+
+Expected tool sequence:
+1. `compile_sketch` with sketch path + fqbn
+2. `upload_sketch` with sketch path + fqbn + port
+
+Example 3: Open serial monitor session and wait for ready text
+
+User prompt:
+```text
+Open serial on COM6 at 115200 and wait until the device prints READY.
+```
+
+Expected tool sequence:
+1. `serial_open_session`
+2. `serial_expect`
+3. `serial_read` (optional for additional output)
+4. `serial_close_session` (when done)
+
+Example 4: Safety preflight before writing to device
+
+User prompt:
+```text
+Before sending commands over serial, run a safety preflight for an Arduino Uno with my wiring details.
+```
+
+Expected tool sequence:
+1. `safety_preflight`
+2. `serial_write` only if preflight does not block

+## MCP Bundle (MCPB)
+Build and package:

+```bash
+npm run build
+npm run mcpb:validate
+npm run mcpb:pack
+```
+
+Notes:
+- `manifest.json` is consumed by `mcpb`.
+- `.mcpbignore` excludes dev/reference files from bundle packaging.
+- Bundle output is written as `<name>.mcpb` in the current directory by default.
