Omiss MCP

omiss-mcp

MCP server for OMISS, the Old Man International Sideband Society: the net schedule, OMISS nets on the air now, member lookup, past nets and who checked in, the Statehood schedule, officers, awards and net statistics, through any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

Data from omiss.net's public pages; nets on the air from NetLogger. Part of the qso-graph project. No login or API key needed.

What is OMISS?

OMISS is an amateur-radio society that runs SSB nets on HF, from 10 to 160 meters, every day of the week. Members exchange OM numbers on the nets and work toward the society's awards. Its website publishes the net schedule, the member roster, check-in history for every net, and the award rules and recipients.

Nets Open Early

Net control often opens a net in NetLogger for check-ins well before its listed time (the 40m net has opened 35 minutes early). omiss_net_schedule gives the listed times; omiss_nets_on_air shows whether a net is open now.

Your Callsign

Only omiss_nets_on_air needs it: it asks NetLogger, which is told which station is asking. On first use the assistant asks for your callsign and saves it. You're asked once. The other tools don't need it.

Good Neighbour Policy

omiss.net is a volunteer-run club website, not an API. We read it gently:

Security and Privacy

• Every value is checked before it is sent: callsigns, OM numbers, bands from a fixed list, YYYY, YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD dates, numeric net IDs, and award IDs from the site's own list. Free text is never sent to omiss.net.
• No postal addresses or email addresses are ever returned, even where a page prints one.
• Members are looked up one at a time, by callsign or OM number. There's no search by state, county or grid, and no roster download.

Quick Start

Configure your MCP client

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

{

"mcpServers": { "omiss": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["omiss-mcp"] } } }

Claude Code

Add to .claude/settings.json:

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json (project-level) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global):

{

"mcpServers": { "omiss": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["omiss-mcp"] } } }

VS Code / GitHub Copilot

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{

"servers": { "omiss": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["omiss-mcp"] } } }

Gemini CLI

Add to ~/.gemini/settings.json (global) or .gemini/settings.json (project):

{

"mcpServers": { "omiss": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["omiss-mcp"] } } }

Ask questions

"When is the OMISS 40m net, and on what frequency?"

"Is KI7MT an OMISS member? What's their OM number?"

"Which OMISS nets are on the air right now?"

"Which nets did OM 7212 check in to this year?"

"Who checked in to last night's 80m net?"

"What are the free-call states on the next 40m Statehood net?"

"What does the Alphabet Soup award require, and have I earned it?"

"Who ran the most OMISS nets as net control in the last 90 days?"

As a Python Library

The same code works without an AI, with the same spacing and cache:

from omiss_mcp.omiss import OmissSource

om = OmissSource() me = om.member_lookup(callsign="KI7MT")"members" for net in om.checkin_history(om_number_=me["om_number"], date_="2026")["nets"]: print(net["time"], net["name"], net["checkin_count"])

Apps can name themselves, using ADIF's PROGRAMID and PROGRAMVERSION: OmissSource(program_id="MyLogger", program_version="1.0").
