AIdrac

AI-Powered Out-of-Band Management

The open alternative to iDRAC, iLO, and IPMI. Remote system control without network dependency.

pip install mcp-server-aidrac

Why AIdrac?

Traditional OOB management (iDRAC, iLO, IPMI) requires:

• Dedicated network port
• Proprietary protocols
• Licensed software
• Network connectivity

AIdrac works via:

• Telephone (DTMF tones)
• Ultrasonic audio (inaudible)
• Push notifications (ntfy.sh)
• AI messaging (I-Poll)
• Ham radio (Morse code)

No network? No problem. Call your server.

Installation

# Basic
pip install mcp-server-aidrac

# With audio support
pip install mcp-server-aidrac[audio]

# Full (includes sensory for Morse/Braille)
pip install mcp-server-aidrac[full]

CLI Tools (Unix-style)

# Send commands
aidrac send "reboot" --transport ntfy --topic myserver
echo "poweroff" | aidrac send --transport dtmf

# Listen for commands
aidrac listen --transport ultrasonic | xargs -I {} sh -c "{}"
aidrac listen --transport ntfy --execute

# Encode/decode
aidrac encode "HELLO" --format morse    # .... . .-.. .-.. ---
aidrac encode "SOS" --format dtmf       # 7777 666 7777
aidrac decode ".- -..." --format morse  # AB

# Individual tools
aidrac-notify "Server rebooted" --topic alerts --priority high
aidrac-dtmf generate "123#" > tones.raw
aidrac-tone --freq 15000 --duration 2 > ultrasonic.raw

Python API

from mcp_server_aidrac import DTMF, Ultrasonic, Ntfy, IPollBridge

# DTMF - Phone control
dtmf = DTMF()
audio = dtmf.generate("*1#")  # Generate tones
dtmf.register_command("*1#", lambda: os.system("reboot"))

# Ultrasonic - Inaudible transmission
ultra = Ultrasonic(mode=UltrasonicMode.STEALTH)
audio = ultra.encode(b"emergency_shutdown")
# Play audio -> received by mic on target system

# ntfy - Push notifications
ntfy = Ntfy(topic="my-aidrac")
ntfy.send("System alert", priority="high")
for msg in ntfy.listen():
    execute(msg.message)

# I-Poll - AInternet AI messaging
bridge = IPollBridge(agent_id="datacenter_aidrac")
bridge.send("backup_aidrac", "take_over_primary")

MCP Server

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aidrac": {
      "command": "mcp-server-aidrac"
    }
  }
}

Tools available:

• aidrac_dtmf_encode - Text to DTMF

Use Cases

McMurdo Antarctic Base

# Satellite phone -> DTMF -> Boot server in recovery mode
# No internet needed, just phone line

Air-Gapped Datacenter

# Ultrasonic audio through wall
# No network penetration, physically isolated
aidrac send "reboot node-7" --transport ultrasonic --mode stealth

Emergency Failover

# AI detects primary failure
# Sends via I-Poll to backup AIdrac
# Backup initiates takeover

Physical Audit Trail

# Every command logged as Braille punchcard
# Tamper-evident, human & machine readable
aidrac encode "rebooted 2024-01-03" --format braille > audit.punch
