## What kame does, in the publisher's words

Bundles KAME's MCP server together with a kame-measurement skill that carries the instrument-safety rules, so both are available in any directory, not only in the notebook workspace where KAME writes its.mcp.json.

This one directory is dual-format:

- Claude Code reads.claude-plugin/plugin.json +.mcp.json;
- root plugin.json + mcp.json conform to the cross-vendor Agent Plugins 1.0.0 specification (validated against its published schemas), supported by Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Kiro and VS Code;
- skills/ is shared by both formats.

From a checkout of this repository:

- MCP server kame: kame_api, kame_manual, execute_code, execute_code_async / get_result / stop_job, tree, kame_status, notebook_status / notebook_read / notebook_edit. Tools are callable as mcpplugin_kame_server.
- Skill kame-measurement: loaded when a task involves KAME or a connected instrument. Carries the motor, temperature, RF-power and image-analysis rules.

## Skills

- kame-measurement: Operate the KAME instrument-control application through its MCP tools, inspect instrument state, run sweeps and NMR/ODMR measurements, drive motors and temperature controllers, and edit the measurement notebook. Use whenever a task mentions KAME, a connected instrument (pulser, lock-in, DSO, magne…

Descriptions come from the frontmatter of each SKILL.md, punctuation lightly normalized.

## MCP servers

- kame: transport: stdio; command: ./bin/kame-mcp-server
