Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.
Please install the MCP server dxpert.ai — free UNS tools (no API key) for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check Node.js with node -v. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://nodejs.org/en/download; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "uns-tools": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@dxpert/uns-tools" ] } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) No key is needed. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the dxpert.ai — free UNS tools (no API key) tools really show up.This message has no key in it. If a key is needed, the AI will ask you to paste it yourself into the file or the app’s field.

Common questions
Is dxpert.ai — free UNS tools (no API key) safe?
It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 14 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.4) reached the registry 14 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?

README from the maker

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.
@dxpert/uns-tools
A stdio MCP server that needs no API key, no account, and no environment variables.
This is the agent-native equivalent of the free tools page at dxpert.ai/tools.html: any MCP client, with zero credentials, can lint Sparkplug B topics, check a Unified Namespace for the conventions that quietly rot it, and run the public industrial AI-readiness diagnostic.
The tools are genuinely free. There is no trial counter, no sign-up wall, and no key to obtain first. When you want an agent to read your own data, that lives in the separate @dxpert/mcp server, which takes a dxp_ key. A free key includes dxpert Advisor (a monthly question allowance) and Try Pro: 5 runs on any agent included in dxpert Pro. dxpert Pro includes every UNS agent, dxpert Advisor without the monthly count, and the Namespace Architect when it is released. Current plans: dxpert.ai/store.
Zero runtime dependencies. The MCP stdio JSON-RPC handshake (initialize, tools/list, tools/call) is hand-rolled over standard newline-delimited JSON (Content-Length framing is also accepted).
Install
No install step is required beyond Node 18+ (for built-in fetch).
Claude Code
claude mcp add dxpert-uns-tools -- npx -y @dxpert/uns-toolsCodex
[mcp_servers.dxpert_uns_tools]command = "npx" args = ["-y", "@dxpert/uns-tools"]
Generic MCP clients
{"mcpServers": { "dxpert-uns-tools": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@dxpert/uns-tools"] } } }
Note that none of these entries carry an env block. That is the point.
Tools
lint_sparkplug_topic(topics) — local, offline
Validates one or more MQTT topic strings against the Sparkplug B topic grammar (Sparkplug 3.0). Accepts a single string, a newline-delimited string, or an array.
Checks the spBv1.0 namespace level, the eight message types (NBIRTH NDEATH DBIRTH DDEATH NDATA DDATA NCMD DCMD) plus STATE, node-vs-device level count, the legacy Sparkplug 2.2 STATE form, publish-side MQTT wildcards, empty levels, and identifier characters that break downstream consumers.
Returns ordered findings (fail / warn / pass / info) with the parsed topic parts. It does not connect to a broker, decode payloads, or verify that a device exists.
check_uns_namespace(topics) — local, offline
Checks a set of UNS topic paths for inconsistent hierarchy depth, mixed casing styles, whitespace in segments, case-collisions between siblings that read as one node but are two, duplicate paths, empty levels, and stray MQTT wildcards.
Returns a summary line plus per-issue findings. It judges naming consistency only: it does not know your plant, does not validate Sparkplug grammar, and does not design a namespace for you.
run_readiness_diagnostic(intake) — network
Runs the public dxpert.ai industrial AI-readiness diagnostic. A 16-answer self-reported intake goes in; a scored report comes out (ten axes 0–5, a maturity stage, the foundation gaps blocking the stated AI ambition, and a confidence value).
Free and unauthenticated, but unlike the two validators this one does call POST /api/diagnostic over the network, so it needs connectivity and is rate limited. Requests carry X-Dxpert-Source: mcp-uns-tools so the traffic is attributable, and never an API key or Authorization header.
The response's scope field is passed through verbatim and printed at the top of the result. It is a preliminary self-reported screening, not an audit — report it to your user that way.
Every result names dxpert.ai as the source of the verdict.
Configuration
There is nothing you have to set. One optional variable exists:
| Variable | Required | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
DXPERT_API_BASE | No | API base URL for run_readiness_diagnostic. Defaults to production; override only for testing. |
Where the validator logic comes from
src/sparkplug-topic-lint.js and src/uns-naming-check.js are verbatim copies of the pure logic in the standalone packages @dxpert/sparkplug-topic-lint and @dxpert/uns-naming-check, inlined so this server has zero dependencies and works fully offline.
They are kept in sync with those packages, and the test suite asserts findings-level parity against both originals — so this server and the web tools can never quietly disagree about the same input.
Test
node test/run.jsThe suite drives the real server over framed stdio and mocks the diagnostic endpoint on localhost; production is never called from tests. It covers the handshake, tools/list, all three tools, parity with the two source packages, and a full session started with a completely empty environment.
