Physbound
Lint RF link budgets, Shannon capacity, and noise floors from your agent while you scope wireless or IoT hardware before you commit parts and firmware.
Overview
Physbound is a MCP server for the Validate phase that lints RF link budgets, Shannon capacity, and noise floors for wireless design decisions.
What is this MCP server?
- Physical Layer Linter positioning: RF link budgets, Shannon capacity, noise floors
- PyPI package physbound v0.1.2 with stdio MCP transport
- No mandatory API keys in published server schema
- GitHub repository JonesRobM/physbound for source review
- Engineering validation MCP—not a generic uptime or log aggregator
- Version 0.1.2
- Transport: stdio via PyPI identifier physbound
- 0 required environment secrets in published schema
Community signal: 1 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Wireless side projects often guess link margin and capacity until hardware arrives, and your agent cannot sanity-check the physics layer with you.
Who is it for?
Indie hardware or IoT builders who want agent-assisted RF sanity checks during early architecture and BOM conversations.
Skip if: Pure software SaaS teams, marketers, or anyone without RF literacy who needs general QA or security scanning instead.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registering physbound, your agent can run physical-layer lint checks while you narrow scope on radios, power, and expected range.
- Agent-invokable physical-layer checks during design conversations
- Documented feasibility signals on capacity and noise assumptions before build-out

Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Physbound for?
Builders working on wireless links—IoT, radio modules, or RF-heavy prototypes—who use MCP agents and want physical-layer validation tools in the loop.
When should I use Physbound?
Use it while validating scope: comparing modem options, estimating whether Shannon limits and noise floors support your range and data-rate story before you lock the BOM.
How do I add Physbound to my agent?
Install the PyPI physbound package (0.1.2), add a stdio MCP server entry in your host config pointing at that runtime, and restart your client—no keys are listed as required in the schema.
