Kip Mcp Server

Please install the `kip-mcp-server` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install Node.js 24 or newer** — Node.js 24+ is required because the recommended install path uses npx, which comes with Node.js. (https://nodejs.org/)
- **Have a Signal K server with KIP installed** — You need a reachable Signal K server on your boat or network, with KIP installed, for the MCP server to inspect data and design/install dashboards. (https://signalk.org)

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `npx`
- args: ["-y","kip-mcp-server"]
- optional environment variables:
  - `SIGNALK_HOST`: Signal K host name or IP address. (example: `<your-signalk-host>`)
  - `SIGNALK_PORT`: Signal K port. (example: `<your-signalk-port>`)
  - `SIGNALK_TLS`: Set to true if the Signal K server uses HTTPS. (example: `<true-or-false>`)
  - `SIGNALK_TOKEN`: Signal K login token used to write dashboards to the server. Not needed for read-only access or file export. Use instead of username/password. (example: `<your-signalk-token>`)
  - `SIGNALK_USER`: Signal K username, used together with SIGNALK_PASSWORD for authenticated writes instead of a token. (example: `<your-signalk-username>`)
  - `SIGNALK_PASSWORD`: Signal K password, used together with SIGNALK_USER for authenticated writes instead of a token. (example: `<your-signalk-password>`)
  - `KIP_URL`: Override the KIP URL if it is not served from the default derived location. (example: `<your-kip-url>`)

Note: Default transport is stdio. Reading Signal K data requires no authentication. Writing dashboards to the Signal K server requires either SIGNALK_TOKEN or both SIGNALK_USER and SIGNALK_PASSWORD; otherwise the server can still export a KipConfig file for manual import. The README also describes an optional advanced HTTP-hosted mode via `npx kip-mcp-http`, but the simplest portable install path is the stdio npx command.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
