Core Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Amateur Radio Logging, built on the ADIF 3.1.7 specification. Its 8 documented tools cover adif, enumerations, calculate. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting DevOps & monitoring tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Adif MCP

Claude Code

claude mcp add qso-graph-adif-mcp -- uvx adif-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "qso-graph-adif-mcp": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "adif-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

pypi package adif-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.qso-graph is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Adif MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can validate a raw ADIF string against the 3.1.7 spec, retrieve raw JSON for any spec module (band, mode, fields), list all ADIF enumerations with entry counts, and search enumeration records by keyword.
