Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
OPC UACommand (node, npx, python, etc.)pythonArguments-
Argument 1
path/to/opcua_mcp/main.py
Environment-
OPCUA_SERVER_URL
your-opc-ua-server-url
Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
-
Argument 1
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Clone the repository and install the required Python packages:
git clone https://github.com/kukapay/opcua-mcp.git
cd opcua-mcp
pip install mcp[cli] opcua cryptography
{
"mcpServers": {
"opcua-mcp": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["path/to/opcua_mcp/main.py"],
"env": {
"OPCUA_SERVER_URL": "your-opc-ua-server-url"
}
}
}
}
read_opcua_node
Read the value of a specific OPC UA node. Parameters: node_id (str): OPC UA node ID (e.g., ns=2;i=2). Returns a string with the node ID and its value.
write_opcua_node
Write a value to a specific OPC UA node. Parameters: node_id (str): OPC UA node ID (e.g., ns=2;i=3), value (str): Value to write (converted based on node type). Returns a success or error message.
Browse nodes
Request to list all OPC UA nodes.
Read multiple OPC UA Nodes
Retrieve multiple real-time values from devices.
Write to multiple OPC UA Nodes
Control devices by writing values to multiple nodes.
The server exposes five tools:
- read_opcua_node:
- Description: Read the value of a specific OPC UA node.
- Parameters:
- node_id (str): OPC UA node ID (e.g., ns=2;i=2).
- Returns: A string with the node ID and its value (e.g., "Node ns=2;i=2 value: 42").
- write_opcua_node:
- Description: Write a value to a specific OPC UA node.
- Parameters:
- node_id (str): OPC UA node ID (e.g., ns=2;i=3).
- value (str): Value to write (converted based on node type).
- Returns: A success or error message (e.g., "Successfully wrote 100 to node ns=2;i=3").
- Browse nodes:
- Description: Read the value of a specific OPC UA node.
- Read multiple OPC UA Nodes:
- Description: Read the value of a specific OPC UA node.
- Write to multiple OPC UA Nodes:
- Description: Read the value of a specific OPC UA node.

OPC UA MCP Server
An MCP server that connects to OPC UA-enabled industrial systems, allowing AI agents to monitor, analyze, and control operational data in real time.
This project is ideal for developers and engineers looking to bridge AI-driven workflows with industrial automation systems.
Features
- Read OPC UA Nodes: Retrieve real-time values from industrial devices.
- Write to OPC UA Nodes: Control devices by writing values to specified nodes.
- Browse nodes: Request to list allopcua nodes
- Read multiple OPC UA Nodes: Retrieve multiple real-time values from devices.
- Write to multiple OPC UA Nodes: Control devices by writing values to multiple nodes.
- Seamless Integration: Works with MCP clients like Claude Desktop for natural language interaction.
Tools
The server exposes five tools: -read_opcua_node:
- Description: Read the value of a specific OPC UA node.
- Parameters:
- node_id (str): OPC UA node ID (e.g., ns=2;i=2).
- Returns: A string with the node ID and its value (e.g., "Node ns=2;i=2 value: 42").
- write_opcua_node:
- Description: Write a value to a specific OPC UA node.
- Parameters:
- node_id (str): OPC UA node ID (e.g., ns=2;i=3).
- value (str): Value to write (converted based on node type).
- Returns: A success or error message (e.g., "Successfully wrote 100 to node ns=2;i=3").
- Browse nodes:
- Description: Read the value of a specific OPC UA node.
- Read multiple OPC UA Nodes:
- Description: Read the value of a specific OPC UA node.
- Write to multiple OPC UA Nodes:
- Description: Read the value of a specific OPC UA node.
Example Prompts
- "What’s the value of node ns=2;i=2?" → Returns the current value.
- "Set node ns=2;i=3 to 100." → Writes 100 to the node.
