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)

🔑 Takeaway: MCP doesn’t replace LoTW, eQSL, or award programs. Instead, it gives operators visibility and accessibility into their award progress, across sponsors, without them needing to export, filter, or code.


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.
