Installation

Requirements

• Docker + Docker Compose (any OS)
• Python 3.11+ (optional — only if running outside Docker)
• Windows + TwinCAT 3.1 Build 4026 (only needed for write/build/deploy)

Docker (recommended)

git clone https://github.com/turb5/tckit
cd tckit
cp docker/.env.example docker/.env

Edit docker/.env with your machine-specific values (see Docker Setup).

docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up

The MCP server is now listening at http://localhost:8000.

pip (development)

pip install -e ".[dev]"

Verify

# Check the server starts cleanly
python -m tckit.server --help

# Run unit tests
pytest tests/unit/ -v
