I built a Codex plugin that keeps serial-device debugging usable after the chat ends
A developer announced OpenBaud, an open-source Rust MCP server and Codex plugin for working with USB/UART devices. It lets an agent identify a board, inspect responses, and validate checksums, then save the working protocol as a typed command that persists in the project. New UI work adds a port picker plus plots, waveforms, timing, and frame diagnostics in hosts supporting MCP Apps.

AI Overview
- OpenBaud, an MIT-licensed Rust MCP server and Codex plugin, lets agents identify USB/UART boards, validate checksums, and save working protocols as typed commands in the project.
- The Codex plugin ships runtimes for macOS, Linux, and Windows, requires Node.js 18+ for binary selection, and adds a port picker plus plots, waveform, traffic-timing, and frame-diagnostic views via MCP Apps.
- A no-hardware replay example decodes a real captured ESP32-S3 response with CRC16-Modbus into 36 polar points; the demo firmware generates the radar scene.

OpenBaud: a FOSS MCP server for auditable serial hardware access
OpenBaud is an MIT-licensed Rust MCP server and CLI that gives AI agents safe, auditable access to serial hardware. It preserves raw RX/TX, validates framing and checksums, parses typed fields, visualizes telemetry, and promotes verified byte sequences into reusable YAML commands. Writes are audited and dangerous commands require explicit acknowledgement.

Users debate which MCP servers are actually useful in 2026
A Reddit user asks for genuinely useful MCP servers, dismissing SEO-driven lists. They list Filesystem, GitHub, and Postgres MCP servers as starting points, inviting community argument. The thread reflects practitioner frustration with abandoned tools and token-burning integrations.
