Overview

This package defines the ADIF MCP core engine, with plugins for:

  • LoTW (adif-mcp-lotw)
  • eQSL (adif-mcp-eqsl)

Performs these tasks

  • Validation & normalization of ADIF records
  • Unified schema for consistent QSO storage and exchange
  • MCP-ready tools for safe AI-agent access
  • Foundation for service adapters (e.g., LoTW, eQSL)

Why ADIF-MCP Matters

Unlike existing ADIF editors and one-off utilities, ADIF-MCP is a shared protocol engine for the Amateur Radio community:

  • Spec-compliant & typed — ADIF fields are validated against the official standard.
  • Extensible — integrations (LoTW, eQSL, QRZ, logging apps) plug into a common base.
  • AI-ready — exposes safe, typed tools to AI agents via the Model Context Protocol.
  • Foundation, not silo — one engine many apps can trust, instead of everyone re-implementing ADIF parsing.

👉 ADIF-MCP turns ADIF from a static file format into a living protocol interface.


Next Steps

  • Build adif-mcp-lotw and adif-mcp-eqsl adapters
  • Expose MCP tools for validation, award tracking, and service sync
  • Support cross-logger interoperability with AI-driven agents

Compliance & Provenance

ADIF-MCP and its plugins follow the ADIF Specification (currently 3.1.5) and use registered Program IDs to identify all exports:

  • ADIF-MCP — Core engine
  • ADIF-MCP-LOTW — Plugin for ARRL Logbook of The World
  • ADIF-MCP-EQSL — Plugin for eQSL.cc

To ensure transparency and auditability, the project also uses APP_ fields for provenance when augmenting records. Examples include:

  • APP_ADIF-MCP_OP → operation performed (normalize, validate, merge)
  • APP_ADIF-MCP-LOTW_ACTION → LoTW plugin operation
  • APP_ADIF-MCP-EQSL_TIME → timestamp of eQSL merge

See the Program ID & APP_ Field Policy for full details.
