Common questions

Is Adif MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (2.1.1) reached the registry 9 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

adif-mcp

MCP server for the ADIF 3.1.7 specification: validate and parse ADIF records, search the spec's fields, enumerations and data types, and compute distance and heading between Maidenhead locators, through any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

Part of the qso-graph project. No authentication required — the ADIF specification is bundled, so it works offline.

Install

uvx adif-mcp            # run it; nothing to install

Tools

Tool	Description	Key Parameters
`validate_adif_record`	Validate a raw ADIF record against the 3.1.7 spec	adif_string
`parse_adif`	Streaming parser for large ADIF files, with pagination	file_path, start_at, limit
`read_specification_resource`	Raw JSON for any spec module (band, mode, fields, ...)	resource_name
`list_enumerations`	All ADIF enumerations with entry counts	—
`search_enumerations`	Search enumeration records by keyword	search_term, enumeration
`calculate_distance`	Great-circle distance (km) between two Maidenhead locators	start, end

`get_version_info`	Service version + upstream spec version (fleet identity attestation)	—

What is ADIF?

ADIF (Amateur Data Interchange Format) is the standard file format amateur radio logging programs use to exchange QSO records. adif-mcp is the specification package of qso-graph: it validates, parses and searches ADIF so an assistant can work with logs safely and accurately. Credentials are handled separately by qso-graph-auth, and each logging service has its own MCP server (see qso-graph.io).

Quick Start

No credentials needed — just install and configure your MCP client.

Configure your MCP client

adif-mcp works with any MCP-compatible client. Add the server config and restart. The tools appear automatically.
