Nordic Semiconductor has integrated AI-assisted development into its nRF Connect SDK and nRF Cloud platform using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Nordic MCP servers give AI assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or any LLM) access to validated SDK documentation, API references, device configurations, and fleet data from nRF Cloud. The solution targets the full firmware development lifecycle — from prototyping and board bring-up to fleet diagnostics — at lower token costs than generic LLMs. The author notes that the tools still require experienced engineers to write specific prompts and review AI output, as the agent can introduce errors like adding unintended peripherals.
