Motor Current Signature Analysis MCP Server [2026]

01 · Install Motor Current Signature Analysis

Claude Code

claude mcp add lgdimaggio-mcp-motor-current-signature-a -- uvx mcp-server-mcsa

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lgdimaggio-mcp-motor-current-signature-a": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-server-mcsa"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package mcp-server-mcsa - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.LGDiMaggio is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Motor Current Signature Analysis can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can inspect a signal file format and metadata without loading, load a current signal from CSV / WAV / NPY file → returns signal_id, calculate expected fault frequencies for all common fault types, and detect and characterise peaks in a spectrum.

Capability map

Tools grouped from the project's README - what Motor Current Signature Analysis lets an agent do.

Compute

7 tools - e.g. Calculate expected fault frequencies for all common fault types; Calculate BPFO, BPFI, BSF, FTF from bearing geometry; Single-sided FFT amplitude spectrum → returns spectrum_id

Detect

4 tools - e.g. BRB fault index with severity classification; Air-gap eccentricity detection via sidebands; Stator inter-turn short circuit detection

detect_broken_rotor_bars · detect_eccentricity · detect_stator_faults · detect_bearing_faults

read & search

2 tools - e.g. Detect and characterise peaks in a spectrum; List all signals and spectra persisted on disk

find_spectrum_peaks · list_stored_data

Inspect

1 tool - e.g. Inspect a signal file format and metadata without loading

inspect_signal_file

Load

1 tool - e.g. Load a current signal from CSV / WAV / NPY file → returns signal_id

load_signal_from_file

Calculate

1 tool - e.g. Compute slip, sync speed, rotor frequency from motor data

Preprocess

1 tool - e.g. DC removal, filtering, normalisation, windowing pipeline → returns new signal_id

preprocess_signal

Generate

1 tool - e.g. Synthetic motor current with optional faults → returns signal_id

generate_test_current_signal

06 · Motor Current Signature Analysis FAQ

Is Motor Current Signature Analysis still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-05-29. We re-verify nightly.

What can Motor Current Signature Analysis do?

With this server connected, an agent can inspect a signal file format and metadata without loading, load a current signal from CSV / WAV / NPY file → returns signal_id, calculate expected fault frequencies for all common fault types, and detect and characterise peaks in a spectrum.

How do I install Motor Current Signature Analysis?

Run `uvx mcp-server-mcsa`. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Motor Current Signature Analysis run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
