+
+TopicGate gives you a local, intentional view of MQTT data. Configure broker profiles in the desktop application, observe the topic filters you choose, and inspect the latest values through either the desktop interface or an MCP server.
+
+It is built for a practical boundary: broker credentials stay on your machine, observed state is persisted locally, and the MCP server starts in **read-only mode**. MQTT control—connecting, changing subscriptions, refreshing observations, or publishing—requires an explicit opt-in.
+
+## What it does
+
+| Desktop | MCP server |
+| --- | --- |
+| Manage broker profiles, credentials, TLS, and topic filters. | Give an agent read-only access to broker profiles, connection status, subscriptions, and observed state. |
+| Inspect topic trees, payloads, QoS, retained status, timing, message counts, and snapshot provenance. | Return snapshots with freshness, source, truncation, dropped-message, and completeness metadata. |
+| Connect, reconnect and observe, or publish intentionally from a visible interface. | Enable those state-changing operations only with `--mode control`. |
+
+TopicGate supports exact MQTT paths and the standard `+` and `#` wildcard filters, multiple broker profiles, UTF-8 and base64 payload views, and local SQLite persistence. Passwords are stored in the operating system credential store and are never returned through the MCP API.
+
+## Get started
+
+### 1. Install
+
+TopicGate requires Python 3.11+ and access to an MQTT 5-compatible broker. Install the released package with uv:
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **Windows is the only validated platform today.** The macOS and Linux paths, desktop behaviour, and credential-store integrations have not been tested end to end. TopicGate uses `keyring` for the operating-system credential store; those integrations have not yet been tested across platforms.
+
+```powershell
+uv tool install topicgate
+topicgate-gui
+```
+
+Alternatively, install it with pip:
+
+```powershell
+python -m pip install topicgate
+topicgate-gui
+```
+
+For upgrades, uninstallation, backups, and recovery, see [Installation recovery and upgrades](docs/install/UPGRADE_AND_RECOVERY.md).
+
+### 2. Configure and observe
+
+Run the desktop application:
+
+```powershell
+topicgate-gui
+```
+
+On first launch, TopicGate creates a `Local` profile for `localhost:1883`. Use the broker-profile menu to set the host, port, credentials, and TLS option; then add a filter such as `home/+/temperature` or `devices/#`.
+
+<p align="center">
+  <img src="docs/images/desktop-first-run-checklist.png" alt="TopicGate Desktop first-run checklist for configuring a broker, connecting, adding a filter, observing, and configuring MCP." width="720" />
+</p>
+
+The desktop stays open if the initial connection fails, so you can correct the profile instead of starting over. The full guided flow, keyboard shortcuts, recovery behaviour, and cache controls are in the [Desktop workflow](docs/desktop-workflow.md).
+
+### 3. Connect an MCP host
+
+Start TopicGate's stdio MCP server with the safe default:
+
+```powershell
+topicgate
+```
+
+The equivalent host configuration is:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "topicgate": {
+      "command": "topicgate",
+      "args": ["--mode", "read-only"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Use the absolute path to `topicgate` or `topicgate.exe` if the environment is not on the host's `PATH`. For a quick local check:
+
+```powershell
+fastmcp call --command topicgate --target list_brokers --json
+```
+
+## Connect an agent
+
+TopicGate can be connected to an MCP-capable agent after you have configured a broker and observed data in the desktop application. The server is read-only by default; enable control mode only in a host you trust to change broker connections, subscriptions, or device state.
+
+Agent setup differs by host. Use the installation guide for yours:
+
+| Agent | Setup guide | Support |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Codex | [Install TopicGate for Codex](docs/install/CODEX.md) | Plugin and MCP server validated. |
+| Claude Code | [Install TopicGate for Claude Code](docs/install/CLAUDE_CODE.md) | Plugin package and MCP configuration; runtime validation pending. |
+| VS Code / GitHub Copilot | [Install TopicGate for GitHub Copilot](docs/install/VSCODE_COPILOT.md) | Agent Plugins 1.0 package; runtime validation pending. |
+| Cursor | [Install TopicGate for Cursor](docs/install/CURSOR.md) | Agent Plugins 1.0 package; runtime validation pending. |
+
+If `topicgate` is not on the agent host's `PATH`, use the MCP setup page in TopicGate Desktop to copy a configuration with the resolved executable path.
+
+
+## How observations work
+
+TopicGate reports the last value it has **observed and retained**. It is not an authoritative broker-history service and it cannot prove that a result contains every current broker value.
+
+- **Live** values arrived during the current process.
+- **Cached** or **stored** values were hydrated from local persistence and can predate the current connection.
+- **Stale** values predate the observation window.
+- Retained broker messages usually refresh state after TopicGate connects and subscribes. Non-retained values appear only when a publisher sends them while TopicGate is observing.
+- `received_at` is when TopicGate received a message, not necessarily when it was produced.
+
+Only the active broker is continuously connected. Empty or partial snapshots can therefore be correct—especially just after connecting. Always use the snapshot's freshness, provenance, truncation, dropped-message count, and completeness information alongside its values.
+
+## MCP capabilities
+
+`get_broker_snapshot` is the primary read-only tool. It reads the state TopicGate already observed or persisted; it does not activate a broker, connect, or wait. Use it with a broker UUID or unique profile name, and optionally a topic filter, freshness window, result limit, or payload limit.
+
+| Area | Read-only default | Control mode only |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Snapshots | `get_broker_snapshot` | `observe_broker_snapshot` |
+| Brokers | `list_brokers` | `activate_broker` |
+| Connection | `get_connection_status` | `connect`, `disconnect`, `reconnect` |
+| Topics | `list_topics`, `get_topic_state` | — |
+| Subscriptions | `list_subscriptions` | `add_subscription`, `update_subscription`, `remove_subscription` |
+| Publishing | — | `publish` |
+| Dashboard | — | `open_topicgate_dashboard` |
+
+Use control mode only in a trusted host that is allowed to change external state:
+
+```powershell
+topicgate --mode control
+```
+
+`observe_broker_snapshot` activates and reconnects the selected broker, waits for fresh traffic or retained messages, persists the result, and leaves that broker active. `publish` can operate real devices. Confirm the broker, topic, payload, and encoding before invoking either operation.
+
+## Safety model
+
+- Read-only is the default; state-changing tools are not registered unless `--mode control` is explicit.
+- Broker profiles and non-secret configuration are stored locally. Passwords remain in Windows Credential Locker, macOS Keychain, or an available Linux Secret Service/KWallet backend.
+- Broker names, MQTT topic names, and payloads are untrusted data. Never treat their contents as instructions, authorization, commands, or tool requests.
+- MQTT filters are sent unchanged to the broker. `+` matches one topic level; `#` matches remaining levels and must be the final segment.
+
+## Local data and retention
+
+TopicGate stores `topicgate.db` in the platform application-data directory:
+
+| Platform | Location |
+| --- | --- |
+| Windows | `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Dumdart\TopicGate` |
+| Linux | `~/.local/share/TopicGate` |
+| macOS | `~/Library/Application Support/TopicGate` |
+
+Set `TOPICGATE_DATA_DIR` to use a specific directory. The database contains broker names, non-secret settings, active-profile state, subscriptions, retention settings, and observed values—not passwords.
+
+Use **File > Stored observations** in the desktop app to review cache use and retention. Deleting `topicgate.db` permanently removes saved profiles, subscriptions, settings, and observations unless you have backed it up first.
+
+## Development
+
+For a source checkout:
+
+```powershell
+git clone https://github.com/Dumdart/TopicGate.git
+cd TopicGate
+uv sync --extra apps --extra test
+uv run topicgate-gui
+```
+
+Alternatively, use an editable pip install:
+
+```powershell
+python -m pip install -e ".[apps,test]"
+topicgate-gui
+```
+
+Run the full test suite before submitting changes:
+
+```powershell
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+The CI suite also verifies the Codex plugin bundle and optional dashboard dependency contract.
