MiBud

What it does

MiBud is a hardware-integrated AI companion designed for the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W. It prioritizes privacy by running fully offline, using a state-machine based dialog system to manage interactions. It acts as a gateway for AI agents to interact with the physical world and local environment, supporting a wide array of personalities and a flexible plugin architecture.

Tools

• mcp_client: Spawns and interacts with any stdio-based MCP server.
• plugin_loader: Hot-reloads custom Python tools defined with @tool decorators.
• personality_manager: Switches between 20+ domain-specific AI personalities (e.g., Chef, Hacker, Detective).
• memory_recall: Accesses long-term SQLite and vector-based semantic memory.
• system_control: Manages power profiles (ECO, BALANCED, PERFORMANCE) and hardware components.

Installation

MiBud operates as a client that consumes MCP servers. To integrate a specific MCP server into MiBud, drop the server's configuration into the MiBud environment or use the internal MCP client via the API:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "example-server": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["server.py"]
    }
  }
}
