Arduino Agent v0.5.1 (Windows) — Arduino CLI 1.5.1
Arduino Agent v0.5.1 — synced with upstream Arduino IDE 2.3.10. Windows x64 build, verified end-to-end.
What changed since v0.5.0
- Arduino CLI 1.3.1 → 1.5.1 — the compile/upload engine, with newer board/core support and fixes. Ported together with its matching gRPC protocol stubs and core/config/sketches services from the upstream 2.3.10 release.
- "Clean compile/verify" — shift+click the Verify button to force a from-scratch build.
- Upstream fixes: modified sketches now recompile correctly in more caching scenarios; a startup error from missing CLI directory defaults is resolved.
- Built-in examples refreshed to 1.10.3.
The embedded MCP server, AI-collaboration features, and UI are unchanged from v0.5.0.
Install & run
- Download
Arduino-Agent-0.5.1-Windows-x64.zipbelow and unzip it anywhere. - Run
Arduino IDE.exe. This build is unsigned — click More info → Run anyway past SmartScreen. - The MCP server starts on
http://127.0.0.1:3847and prints a ready-to-paste client config (with your auth token) to the console; the token is also at~/.arduinoIDE/mcp-token.
Verified in this build
- Both extensions typecheck against the updated gRPC protocol.
- arduino-cli 1.5.1 compiles a sketch through the MCP
arduino_compilepath (gRPC daemon), returning real build output — the highest-risk part of the CLI bump, confirmed working.
Known limitations
- Unsigned; Windows x64 only (macOS/Linux release CI still being hardened).
- Upload and live serial need a physical board to fully exercise.
