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 8 diagnostic skills. It's designed to support and accelerate expert decision-making.

Who is this for?

• Reliability & maintenance engineers who want fast vibration diagnostics in plain language — no coding required. It augments and accelerates expert judgment; it doesn't replace it.
• Developers & industrial-AI practitioners who want to expose predictive-maintenance workflows as MCP tools and build on top of them.
• Researchers & students working on bearing fault diagnosis, condition monitoring, or MCP / agent tooling.

Quick Start

Get running in ~3 minutes. On Windows, one script wires everything into Claude Desktop — it installs the venv, pre-compiles dependencies, and writes claude_desktop_config.json for you (OneDrive / cloud-sync paths included):

git clone https://github.com/LGDiMaggio/predictive-maintenance-mcp.git
cd predictive-maintenance-mcp
.\setup_claude.ps1

Restart Claude Desktop, then try:

"Load real_train/OuterRaceFault_1.csv and check if the bearing is healthy."

Install the package:

pip install predictive-maintenance-mcp

Find the full path to uvx (which uvx on macOS/Linux, where uvx on Windows), then add to your client config — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "predictive-maintenance": {
      "command": "/full/path/to/uvx",
      "args": ["predictive-maintenance-mcp"],
      "env": { "UV_LINK_MODE": "copy" }
    }
  }
}

Why the full path? Claude Desktop launches servers with a minimal PATH that often omits user-local tool directories (e.g. ~/.local/bin). Using the full path to uvx avoids a silent "command not found" failure. On Windows the typical path is C:\Users\<you>\.local\bin\uvx.exe.

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 36 specialized MCP endpoints (33 tools + 3 prompts) running locally on your machine. Every signal is referenced by a single signal_id handle from load to report. Your data never leaves your infrastructure.

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 (8) — 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

I'd genuinely love to know. Whether you ran it on real machinery or just tried the sample data, drop a line in Discussions — one sentence about your machine or use case is enough. Real-world feedback directly shapes what gets built next.
