Predictive Maintenance MCP Server

Give any AI assistant the ability to analyze vibration data, detect machinery faults, and generate professional diagnostic reports — through natural conversation.

An open-source MCP server and predictive maintenance AI agent that turns LLMs into condition monitoring assistants. Engineers describe what they need in plain language; the AI calls the right analysis tools and delivers results — bearing fault detection, risk assessment, anomaly detection, and remaining useful life estimation. Also available as a Claude Code plugin with 7 diagnostic skills. It's designed to support and accelerate expert decision-making.

Quick Start

pip install predictive-maintenance-mcp

Add to your Claude Desktop config (%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows, ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "predictive-maintenance": {
      "command": "predictive-maintenance-mcp"
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You're ready — try: "Load real_train/OuterRaceFault_1.csv and check if the bearing is healthy."

More options: install from source · VS Code setup · Docker / HTTPS deployment · use with local LLMs (Ollama)

What Can It Do?

Upload a vibration signal → get a professional diagnosis through conversation.

The AI doesn't guess — it calls 52 specialized MCP endpoints (46 tools, 2 resources, 4 prompts) running locally on your machine. Your data never leaves your infrastructure.

Signal Acquisition (7 tools + 2 resources)

Spectral & Statistical Analysis (10 tools)

Diagnostics & Health Assessment (14 tools)

Reporting (9 tools)

Prognostics (3 tools)

Decision Support (3 tools)

Guided Workflows (4 prompts + 2 resources)

Claude Code Plugin

The project includes a plugin for Claude Code with domain-specific skills that activate automatically during conversation. Install it and Claude gains guided diagnostic workflows, autonomous agents, and quick commands.

/plugin marketplace add LGDiMaggio/predictive-maintenance-mcp
/plugin install predictive-maintenance@predictive-maintenance-marketplace

Skills (7) — activate automatically based on context

Agents (2) — run autonomously for complex tasks

Commands (3) — quick entry points

Reports

All analysis tools generate interactive HTML reports you can open in any browser — pan, zoom, hover for details. Also supports structured Word (.docx) exports.

Sample Data Included

The project ships with 20 real bearing vibration signals from production machinery tests — ready to use out of the box.

• Training set: 2 healthy baselines + 12 fault signals (inner race, outer race)
• Test set: 1 healthy baseline + 5 fault signals

Try: "Load real_train/OuterRaceFault_1.csv and diagnose the bearing fault."

The codebase follows a modular architecture organized around the ISO 13374 Six-Block Diagnostic standard — signal acquisition, processing, diagnostics, prognostics, and decision support as separate sub-packages.

Standards implemented: ISO 13374 (diagnostic architecture), ISO 20816-3 (vibration severity classification), MIMOSA OSA-CBM (condition-based maintenance framework).

Key design choices:

• Privacy-first — raw vibration data never leaves your machine; only computed results flow to the LLM
• LLM-agnostic — works with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot Studio, or any MCP-compatible client. Use Ollama for fully air-gapped deployments
• Modular — use only the tools you need, extend with your own
