CANoli User Guide

CANoli is an AI-native CAN bus analysis and visualization tool — the bridge between your CAN bus and your AI agent, and a modern alternative to traditional CAN analysis tools. CANoli embeds no AI itself; you bring your own LLM agent, which connects over MCP and drives the app. This guide walks you through the core workflow, from connecting an adapter to letting an AI agent analyze your traffic.
