What would a stack look like to make this useable? I have plenty of esp devices controlling many things. I would need a local AI to make use of it without exposing it online?

It is not clear to me what the purpose of this repo is. Perhaps as a starter, add the non-abbreviated version of MCP.

The purpose of this repo is to move existing ESP-related commands to MCP. It started as a POC, and after some people showed interest, I want to start working harder on this project!

MCP in this case is Model Context Protocol, a protocol for LLM to communicate. This is to improve vibe coding of ESP-IDF projects.

That is not the case for this one. And it doesn't even have Ask HN in the title.

But it was a new post with a few votes? That’s the ratio of time to votes mag have been very high ranking for a moment.

As for the lack of ask hn, I don’t know how it’s decided, but it’s not required for something to be considered one (common case on the ask page)

it had 2 points when I added the comment and it is amazing that this post is still in the front page of Ask HN with plenty of real Ask HN posted[1]
