Uecs Ccm

MCP server for UECS-CCM greenhouse monitoring and control.

Directly participates in UECS (Ubiquitous Environment Control System) CCM multicast network to read sensor data and send actuator commands — no MQTT broker required.

What is UECS-CCM?

UECS is the Japanese standard protocol for greenhouse environment control, using UDP multicast (224.0.0.1:16520) with XML payloads. CCM (Communication Control Module) packets carry sensor readings (temperature, humidity, CO2, etc.) and actuator commands (irrigation, ventilation, curtain, etc.).

Features

• 5 MCP tools for LLM-driven greenhouse control
• Zero-config networking: joins UDP multicast automatically
• Safety guardrails: actuator allowlist, rate limiting, max irrigation duration
• No MQTT dependency: talks CCM directly
• Standalone test scripts: scp to RPi and run with zero dependencies

Quick Start

Install

pip install uecs-ccm-mcp

Run as MCP Server

uecs-ccm-mcp

Claude Desktop / Claude Code

Add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "greenhouse": {
      "command": "uecs-ccm-mcp"
    }
  }
}

MCP Tools

Tool	Description
get_sensor_data	Indoor sensors (temp, humidity, CO2, soil temp, etc.)
get_actuator_status	Actuator states (irrigation, ventilation, curtain)
set_actuator	Control actuators with safety guardrails
get_weather_summary	Outdoor weather station data
list_nodes	Active UECS nodes on the network

Field Test Scripts

Standalone scripts (Python standard library only) for testing on RPi:

# Receive CCM packets
python3 scripts/ccm_receive_test.py
python3 scripts/ccm_receive_test.py --filter InAirTemp

# Send control packets (confirm before sending)
python3 scripts/ccm_send_test.py Irri 1      # Irrigation ON
python3 scripts/ccm_send_test.py Irri 0      # Irrigation OFF
python3 scripts/ccm_send_test.py VenRfWin 50 # Roof window 50%

Supported Hardware

Tested with:

• ArSprout greenhouse controller (sensor/actuator nodes)
• Raspberry Pi as CCM participant
• Any UECS-compliant node

Safety

• Only allowlisted actuator types can be controlled
• Minimum 1 second between commands (rate limiting)
• Maximum 3600 second irrigation duration
• Auto-OFF timer support
