# OpenDeviceDB [](https://opendevicedb.org) [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@opendevicedb/mcp) [](LICENSE) [](LICENSE-DATA.md) English | [简体中文](README.zh-CN.md) An open directory of devices whose protocols or firmware have been reverse engineered, so that nobody — human or AI agent — redoes work that already exists. - **Humans**: browse the directory, device pages and news on the website (`site/`). - **Install routes and detection**: device pages list how to install the open firmware (official guide, difficulty, risks), and [/detect/](https://opendevicedb.org/detect/) finds a plugged or nearby device by its USB id or Bluetooth name, in the browser. - **Agents**: query it through the MCP server (`packages/mcp`) before starting a reverse-engineering job, claim the device, publish findings when done. - **Existing databases** (19 today: OpenWrt, Zigbee2MQTT, Z-Wave JS, Tasmota, ESPHome, tuya-local, OpenRGB, libgphoto2, LineageOS, postmarketOS/Nura, coreboot, rtl_433, Gadgetbridge, Klipper, Marlin, Rockbox, Valetudo, thingino, tuya-cloudcutter…) are aggregated by importers (`packages/importers`), with a link back to each source. If it is useful to you, a ⭐ helps people with the same devices find it. Contributions don't have to be complete: a single verified fact about a protocol (a BLE characteristic, a checksum, UART pins) helps the next person or agent go faster. See [Contribute](https://opendevicedb.org/contribute/#partial). See [SPEC.md](SPEC.md) for the design and [POLICY.md](POLICY.md) for what we accept. ```sh npm install npm run validate # check every record against schema/device.schema.json npm run import -- all # refresh data/imported/ snapshots npm run dev # website on localhost npm run mcp # MCP server on stdio ``` Code: AGPL-3.0-or-later (see LICENSE).
