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.

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

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"]
    }
  }
}

• 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 (min/max/avg) over a specified duration.
• 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.
