QSO-Graph MCP Suite — interactive installer and manager

Project description

QSO-Graph Config

Installer and manager for the QSO-Graph ham radio MCP server suite — 12 packages, 71 tools, one command.

Quick Start

curl -sL https://qso-graph.io/install.sh | bash

This creates ~/.qso-graph/ with an isolated Python environment, installs the base MCP servers, and adds them to your PATH. Works on Linux and macOS.

After install, run qso-graph-config to manage servers, credentials, datasets, and MCP client configuration.

What Gets Installed

Base (default — 6 servers, 38 tools)

No accounts, no credentials, no downloads. Just works.

Server Tools What It Does
adif-mcp 8 ADIF 3.1.6 spec — validation, parsing, geospatial
solar-mcp 6 Space weather — SFI, Kp, solar wind, band outlook
pota-mcp 6 Parks on the Air — spots, park info, schedules
sota-mcp 4 Summits on the Air — spots, alerts, summit info
iota-mcp 6 Islands on the Air — group lookup, nearby search
wspr-mcp 8 WSPR analytics — propagation, beacons, SNR trends

Auth (optional — 5 packages, 22 tools)

Logbook services requiring free or paid accounts. Credentials stored in your OS keyring via qso-auth CLI.

Server Tools What It Does
qso-graph-auth OS keyring credential manager
qrz-mcp 5 QRZ.com — callsign lookup, DXCC, logbook
eqsl-mcp 5 eQSL.cc — inbox, verification, AG status
lotw-mcp 5 LoTW — confirmations, QSOs, DXCC credits
hamqth-mcp 7 HamQTH — lookup, DX spots, RBN, bio

ionis-mcp (optional — 1 package, 11 tools)

HF propagation analytics from 175M+ signatures. Requires a dataset download (~430 MB minimal, ~15 GB full).

Server Tools What It Does
ionis-mcp 11 Band openings, path analysis, solar correlation

How It Works

QSO-Graph Config follows the Conda model:

  1. install.sh bootstraps ~/.qso-graph/ with a Python venv
  2. qso-graph-config (Python) handles all logic — TUI menus, installs, upgrades, credential setup, dataset downloads, MCP client config generation
  3. Wrapper scripts in ~/.qso-graph/bin/ make all servers available on PATH
  4. One PATH entry works on both Linux and macOS
~/.qso-graph/
  venv/     Python virtual environment (servers live here)
  bin/      Wrapper scripts (add to PATH)
  etc/      state.json
  log/      Install logs

Usage

qso-graph-config              # Interactive TUI (dialog/whiptail or numbered prompts)
qso-graph-config --no-tui     # Force plain text prompts
qso-graph-config --upgrade    # Non-interactive upgrade
qso-graph-config --version    # Show version

The TUI presents a raspi-config-style menu:

  • Install Servers — select Base, Auth, ionis-mcp tiers
  • Credentials — set up service accounts via qso-auth
  • Datasets — download IONIS propagation data
  • Status — show installed servers and versions
  • Configure Client — generate config for 9 MCP clients
  • Update — check PyPI for new versions
  • Uninstall — remove everything

MCP Client Configuration

After installation, configure your MCP client to use the servers. QSO-Graph Config generates config snippets for:

  • Claude Desktop
  • Claude Code
  • VS Code (Copilot)
  • Cursor
  • Windsurf
  • ChatGPT Desktop
  • Gemini CLI
  • Goose
  • Codex CLI

Example for Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "solar": { "command": "/home/you/.qso-graph/bin/solar-mcp" },
    "pota":  { "command": "/home/you/.qso-graph/bin/pota-mcp" },
    "wspr":  { "command": "/home/you/.qso-graph/bin/wspr-mcp" }
  }
}

Advanced: pip Install

For users who manage their own Python environments:

pip install qso-graph-config                    # Base — 6 servers
pip install "qso-graph-config[auth]"            # + logbook servers
pip install "qso-graph-config[ionis]"           # + ionis-mcp
pip install "qso-graph-config[full]"            # Everything

Requirements

  • Python 3.11+ (Linux or macOS)
  • dialog or whiptail for TUI menus (optional — falls back to numbered prompts)

Windows

Windows users install via the QSO-Graph Installer (.exe) available from SourceForge. The Windows installer uses PyInstaller + InnoSetup and does not require Python.
