NINA Advanced MCP

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Connect to and control astrophotography equipment (cameras, mounts, focusers, filter wheels, domes) through NINA's Advanced API.

• 2

  Start, manage and monitor imaging sequences and exposures using natural language or automated rules.

• 3

  Retrieve system and equipment status, automate cooling and capture workflows, and save captured images to a configured directory.

Description

This repository provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes NINA's Advanced API to AI agents, enabling programmatic control of cameras, mounts, focusers, filter wheels, domes, rotators and imaging sequences. It supports natural language command processing, contextual help, intelligent error responses and automated decision making to simplify remote or autonomous astrophotography. The project is open-source (MIT) and intended to be run alongside NINA and its Advanced API plugin to let agents connect to and manage an imaging setup.
