Developer gives Claude Desktop a body and sensors via MCP and Raspberry Pi
jfrankie · reddit · 2026-11-06
Reddit user jfrankie built PHOS, a Raspberry Pi-based physical embodiment connected to Claude Desktop via MCP. Claude acts as the reasoning agent; PHOS provides sensor perception (temperature, pressure, air quality) and expresses decisions through animated eyes, speech, and visual signals. First use case: an Environmental Advisor that reports room conditions and reacts with matching expressions. The goal is any AI agent being able to use PHOS through MCP without knowing the underlying hardware.
