ArduPilot MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Arm, disarm, take off, or change flight modes of an ArduPilot vehicle via natural-language commands.

• 2

  Run SITL or Mission Planner–based simulations and test autonomous workflows through an LLM interface.

• 3

  Integrate LLM-driven control into desktop MCP hosts like Claude Desktop or VS Code Cline for rapid prototyping.

Description

This project provides a sandbox MCP (Machine Control Protocol) server to connect ArduPilot (SITL or real hardware) to LLM-driven interfaces like Claude Desktop and Cline. It exposes simple tools (arm, disarm, takeoff, change_mode) and example integrations, enabling natural-language control and testing using Mission Planner's simulator. The server is lightweight, Python-based, and intended for local development and SITL testing with MAVLink over tcp:127.0.0.1:5762.
