tinymcp: Control Embedded Devices with LLMs

The tinymcp project enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to control embedded devices via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It leverages Golioth's LightDB state and Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) to achieve this. Existing devices can expose RPCs without firmware modification by updating LightDB state. A simple blinky example demonstrates exposing LED control to an LLM via tinymcp. Users need to connect a device to the Golioth platform and run the tinymcp server locally. Tools like MCP Inspector and Claude Code are available for testing and interaction with tinymcp.
