Yamaru Hardware Probe (MCP)

NPM Version NPM Downloads MCP Registry Awesome MCP PRs Welcome License

Expert system hardware probe and performance diagnostic engine for AI, Gaming, and High-Performance workflows. This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides deep system insights beyond simple specifications.

Key Features

  • ๐Ÿ” Deep Hardware Inventory: Comprehensive analysis of CPU, RAM, GPU (VRAM/Bandwidth), Storage, and OS topology.
  • โšก Real-time Performance Monitoring: Live tracking of system load and identification of resource-hogging processes.
  • ๐ŸงŠ Thermal & Power Diagnostics: Detects thermal throttling and frequency clipping to resolve unexpected slowness.
  • ๐Ÿค– AI/LLM Optimization: Specialized tools for predicting LLM performance, calculating quantization fit, and optimizing runtimes (Ollama, CUDA, Metal).
  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Privacy-First: Automatic anonymization of unique hardware identifiers before any remote transmission.

Installation

For Gemini CLI Users

gemini extension install @yamaru-eu/hardware-probe

For Manual MCP Setup

Add this to your MCP settings file (e.g., npx-config.json or claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yamaru-probe": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@yamaru-eu/hardware-probe"]
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

  • analyze_local_system: Full hardware inventory.
  • analyze_performance: Real-time performance metrics and top processes.
  • analyze_ram_pressure: Detailed memory pressure and RSS analysis for deep RAM troubleshooting.
  • check_storage_health: Disk SMART health, firmware, and I/O bottleneck analysis.
  • thermal_profile: Real-time CPU/GPU thermal states, fan speeds, and frequency throttling detection.
  • diagnose_antivirus_impact: Detects EDR/Antivirus conflicts and exclusion coverage on dev paths.
  • monitor_system_health: Statistical health report (CPU load, RAM usage, temperature) with min/max/avg over a configurable time window (up to 10 minutes).
  • check_llm_compatibility (BETA): Predicts performance for a specific LLM model via remote API.
  • get_llm_recommendations (BETA): Recommends the best local models via remote API.
  • analyze_inference_config: Deep-dive into AI runtimes and environment variables.

Skills Integration

When used with Gemini CLI, this extension provides the following expert skills:

  • hardware-performance-expert: Global protocol for system health and troubleshooting.
  • local-inference-optimizer: Specialized logic for fine-tuning local LLM runs.
