Kilo IoT Platform — Claude Code MCP server: features and setup
Connect an AI client to Kilo IoT to inspect device data, manage automation, and send commands to equipment. Sign in through your Kilo account.
claude mcp add --transport http kilo https://mcp-auth.kiloiot.io/mcpWhat Kilo IoT Platform does
The server lets an agent inspect devices, telemetry, and diagnostics; provision LoRaWAN or MQTT devices and GPS trackers; and send commands supported by a device. It can also work with automation rules and alarms, query dashboard widget data, and manage organization users. Before deploying a rule, the agent can test it against live sensor values.
Kilo IoT hosts the server, so there is no local server installation. Add it as an HTTP MCP server, then authorize in a browser with a regular Kilo account; the connection inherits that account’s permissions. By default, it follows the organization selected in the Kilo web app. Use an organization-specific endpoint to keep a client tied to one organization. Changes that can affect data require confirmation first.
What it helps with
- inspect device telemetry and diagnostics
- provision a LoRaWAN device or GPS tracker
- send a supported command to equipment
- test an automation rule against sensor readings
- review alarms and their execution history
Example prompts for the agent
- List devices in the selected organization and show their diagnostics.
- Test this automation rule against live sensor readings before deployment.
- Show the active alarms and summarize their activity for a shift.

Questions about Kilo IoT Platform
How do I install Kilo IoT Platform in Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http kilo https://mcp-auth.kiloiot.io/mcp. Then open /mcp in Claude Code, select kilo, and authorize in the browser.
What does Kilo IoT Platform do?
It connects an AI client to Kilo IoT data and controls, including devices, automation rules, and alarms. An agent can send equipment commands when the signed-in account has permission.
How does the server choose an organization?
It uses the organization selected in the Kilo web app by default. To bind the connection to one organization, use https://mcp-auth.kiloiot.io/o/{organizationId}/mcp.
