What Viam Mcp Server does
Runs an embedded Model Context Protocol server as a Viam generic service. The MCP server lets an MCP-compatible client (an LLM agent, claude, etc.) drive a configured allow-list of components on the machine — both via a generic do_command and via per-method tools generated from each component's typed Go interface (e.g. motor1__set_power, base1__move_straight, mysensor__readings).
