AI agents can write the code.They can't see if the board is working.
Crouton gives your AI assistant live eyes on your actual circuit. It can see what's connected, what's powered, and what's wrong. No more guessing.
Agents are debugging blind.
Same bug. Same agent. One loop ends.

- Meet Crouton
A breadboard with live circuit visibility.
Same form factor, same hole pitch as the breadboard you already know, with 64-channel sensing, receive-only WiFi and BLE observability, and a built-in MCP server that puts all of it in your agent’s context.
- Breadboard surface
The interface your hands already know.
Plug in your microcontroller, sensors, and jumper wires exactly as you normally would. No new tools, no special wiring. Crouton is a standard 0.1" pitch breadboard that also reads the circuit.
- Intelligence layer
The sensing layer your agent talks to.
Custom hardware monitors every node in real time: voltage and continuity across 64 channels, streamed to your machine over USB-C. A local MCP server exposes that live state to Cursor, Claude, Copilot, or any MCP-compatible agent.
- Radio layer
Proof your radio is actually on air.
Firmware that compiles and a device that is transmitting are two different claims. Crouton watches WiFi and BLE alongside the board, so your agent can tell whether the thing you just flashed is really advertising, which addresses it sees, and at what signal strength. It listens only. It never transmits.

Breadboard to agent context, in real time.
Plug in
Standard pitch, your usual wiring.
The board reads itself
Voltage and continuity, 64 channels.
And it listens
WiFi and BLE, receive-only.
Your agent sees it
Live state over USB-C, via MCP.
Everyone starts on a breadboard.
Everyone gets stuck on one.
Your first circuit or your fiftieth board, the problem is the same: you cannot see what the board is doing. Neither can your AI.
Get unstuck on a lab project in minutes, not hours.
Weekend project to working prototype, without the guesswork.
Your first circuit, without needing to own an oscilloscope.
Fault localisation from live state instead of inference.
Cut bring-up time without a full hardware team.
Continuous monitoring for sensor arrays and test rigs.
Ask before you order.
Specs, shipping, whether it fits what you are building. A real person reads these and replies.
