Frequently asked questions about the Balena MCP Server

How can I find a specific device using its UUID?

You can use the list_devices tool with an OData filter. For example, provide $filter as uuid eq '' to retrieve the exact device metadata.

Is it possible to update a device's environment variables through the AI?

Yes! Use the create_device_env_var tool by providing the Device ID, the variable name, and the desired value. The AI will apply the change to the specific device immediately.

How do I get the download link for a specific balenaOS version?

First, use list_os_versions to find the correct version string for your device type. Then, call get_os_download_url with the device type and version to receive the direct ZIP download URL.
