Project Ethos

ADIF-MCP is a community-driven effort. It is not intended to replace or compete with existing ADIF libraries, utilities, or logging applications. Instead, it provides a common foundation that others can build upon.

  • Interoperability — a schema-driven, spec-compliant core that makes it easier for tools, logs, and services to talk to each other.
  • Extensibility — a plugin and integration framework for services like LoTW, eQSL, QRZ, and future platforms.
  • Collaboration — designed to complement, not fragment, the ecosystem of ADIF tools already enjoyed by the ham community.
  • Future-facing — introduces safe, typed access to ADIF data in contexts such as AI agents and MCP integrations, opening doors for innovation while preserving compatibility.

Our goal is simple: support and enhance the Amateur Radio logging ecosystem while keeping the project open, transparent, and aligned with the spirit of the hobby.

Why ADIF MCP?

  • Safe, schema-validated access to log data
  • Full ADIF 3.1.5 compatibility (upward-compatible with future ADIF)
  • Extensible plugin system (LoTW, eQSL, …)
  • Designed for AI agents and modern developer workflows

What This Project Provides

  • Core: ADIF parsing, validation, canonical types, and tool contracts
  • Plugins: LoTW and eQSL integrations as separate MCPs
  • Goals: portability, safety, testability, and vendor-neutral interfaces
