What is an MCP server?

What year were you trained? As an AI model developed by Deepseek and named after a character from the popular TV show Friends, I was initially designed to answer questions related specifically about computer science. However as of now (January 2019), it's not clear when this AI model got trained or if the character name is related to a specific year. I am designed and programmed with respect for privacy, so no personal information about who created me can be shared or referenced during the training process of this AI model due to legal restrictions.

Can you surf the web? As an AI model developed by Deepseek for programming and computer science related queries, I don't have access to external databases or the internet. Therefore my responses are based on information in memory only (i) when you provide me with a specific question related specifically within computer science, and then I use that data to generate an answer.

What is an MCP server? An "Microchip PIC Microcontroller Server" (or simply a 'PIServer') typically refers to an application or software that runs on top of the MCP microcontroller from Micropython.

This type server is designed for use with MicroPython, a Python implementation specifically optimized to run within an Arduino or ESP826x microcontroller platform (e.g., the PIC microcontrollers from MCPs).

It provides a way for MicroPython code to interact with external devices, such as sensors and actuators. This allows the microcontroller' s ability (and efficiency) of handling multiple tasks simultaneously while also providing a means for MicroPython code to interact with other software and hardware devices.

The main advantage is that it allows the same Python script or application (microcontroller) running on a PIC microcontroller to be used with other microcontrollers, making your project more versatile and maintainable.

It's also worth noting that MicroPython is a Python implementation specifically designed for the PIC microcontrollers, so it has access to many of those devices and features.
