SDR MCP Server: LLM Control for RTL-SDR/HackRF

The SDR MCP Server is an open-source project designed to bridge the gap between Large Language Models (LLMs) and Software Defined Radios (SDRs) like RTL-SDR and HackRF. This MCP server allows developers to programmatically control SDR hardware using natural language commands interpreted by an LLM. This opens up new possibilities for real-time signal analysis, data acquisition, and automated radio operations, making complex SDR tasks more accessible and adaptable.

What it Does

This tool functions as an intermediary, translating LLM instructions into actionable commands for SDR hardware. It enables users to specify radio parameters, initiate signal capture, and process received data through the power of AI. Instead of writing complex code for each SDR operation, developers can leverage an LLM to define desired outcomes, such as "track all aircraft within a 100-mile radius" or "analyze the spectrum for signals between 400 and 450 MHz." The server then interprets these requests and configures the connected SDR accordingly.

Key Features

LLM Integration: Seamlessly connect and control SDRs using natural language prompts.
Hardware Support: Compatible with popular SDR devices like RTL-SDR and HackRF.
Open-Source: Full access to the source code for customization and extension.
Application Versatility: Suitable for aircraft tracking, ship tracking, spectrum analysis, and more.
Developer-Focused: Designed for AI builders and SDR enthusiasts looking for advanced control.

Who it's For

The SDR MCP Server is primarily for AI developers and radio enthusiasts who want to integrate LLMs into their SDR projects. This includes researchers working on signal intelligence, hobbyists building custom tracking systems, and engineers developing automated spectrum monitoring solutions. If you are looking to automate SDR operations, experiment with AI-driven signal processing, or build sophisticated radio applications without deep low-level programming, this tool is a valuable asset.
