Reason over context
The large model interprets the task, device state, and constraints.

Model Hardware Standard
MHS is a proposed standard for how an AI Model or Agent discovers, understands, and controls Hardware. Find MHS projects, compatible open hardware, and MCP servers here.

RESEARCH PREVIEW
MHS is currently a limited research preview. The core specification is not yet public open source.
SourceTHE PHYSICAL AI STACK
Model, Agent, MCP, and Hardware
Four terms explain the stack. The model reasons, the agent acts, MCP exposes software tools, and MHS describes the physical hardware layer.
Choose and sequence actions
The agent turns model output into tool calls and checks results.
Connect software tools
MCP servers expose tools, resources, and services to the agent.

MODEL HARDWARE STANDARD
What MHS standardizes for an AI Agent
MHS aims to replace one-off hardware integrations with a common description of devices, state, operations, and safety limits.
What is MHS?Hardware manifest
The Agent can discover a device and the operations it exposes.
State and procedures
The Model receives structured state and operating context before acting.
Safety limits
The Hardware driver enforces limits outside the Model prompt.
MHS + MCP
MCP gives the Agent a tool. MHS describes the Hardware.
MCP connects a Model or Agent to software tools and data. MHS focuses on physical devices, their state, available operations, and safety boundaries. A hardware driver can be exposed through MCP, a CLI, or a code API.
