Use the SimpleAIBLE MCP server to scan, connect, and interact with Bluetooth devices. This skill provides guidance on the recommended flow (scan -> connect -> services -> read/notify) and handles platform-specific differences like UUIDs on macOS vs MAC addresses on Linux. Use when the user wants to interact with BLE hardware or debug Bluetooth connections.

--- name: simpleaible description: Use the SimpleAIBLE MCP server to scan, connect, and interact with Bluetooth devices. This skill provides guidance on the recommended flow (scan -> connect -> services -> read/notify) and handles platform-specific differences like UUIDs on macOS vs MAC addresses on Linux. Use when the user wants to interact with BLE hardware or debug Bluetooth connections. --- # SimpleAIBLE SimpleAIBLE is an AI-friendly BLE toolkit powered by SimpleBLE. This skill provides instructions for using the SimpleAIBLE MCP server to interact with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) devices directly from the host machine. ## Quick Start Flow Always follow this sequence for BLE interactions: 1. **Scanning**: Call `scan_for` (default 5s) to find nearby peripherals. 2. **Connection**: Call `connect` using the `address` from the scan results. 3. **Exploration**: Call `services` to list available GATT services and characteristics. 4. **Interaction**: Use `read` for one-time values, `write_request`/`write_command` to send data, or `notify`/`indicate` + `get_notifications` + `unsubscribe` for streaming data. 5. **Cleanup**: Always call `disconnect` when finished to release the device. ## Core Instructions - **Scanning**: Prefer scanning immediately before connecting to ensure the device is in the internal cache. - **Addressing**: Be aware that macOS/iOS uses UUIDs for addresses, while Linux/Windows uses MAC addresses. - **Data Handling**: Binary data is returned as `data_hex` (always reliable) and `data_utf8` (convenience field). If the data is not valid UTF-8, invalid bytes are skipped, so `data_utf8` may be incomplete or empty. Use `data_hex` for protocol analysis and `data_utf8` for human-readable strings. - **Notifications/Indications**: Use `notify` or `indicate` to subscribe, `get_notifications` to retrieve buffered data, and `unsubscribe` when done. - **Bluetooth Status**: Assume Bluetooth is enabled by default. Only check `bluetooth_enabled` when an operation fails. ## Additional Resources - For detailed tool documentation and platform notes, see [the reference guide](references/REFERENCE.md). - For concrete usage examples, see [examples.md](references/examples.md). - For troubleshooting common issues, see [troubleshooting.md](references/troubleshooting.md).
