DCP — Device Context Protocol Status: Draft v0.3 — May 2026 · Hardware-validated on ESP32-WROOM-32 A protocol that lets LLM agents safely control physical devices, down to dollar-class microcontrollers. Intent-level, transport-agnostic, capability-scoped. Compact wire format (sub-50-byte frames). Self-contained firmware: under 1 KB of RAM, 28 KB of flash. Complementary to MCP — a reference Bridge translates DCP ↔ MCP so any MCP host (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, IDE assistants) works zero-config. Contents Why DCP? Design principles Architecture Quickstart Add a feature in 5 steps Recipes — five ready-to-flash device skeletons Wire format · full SPEC.md Manifest Roadmap Design rationale: docs/RATIONALE.md — why not MCP-on-MCU, why not WoT, why not Matter. Why DCP? MC

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
