protocol/codec.py landed with decode_event returning ids and a values dict, so the session looks the command name up in the index rather than expecting it in the result. Verified end to end against that stream's codec in a stitched tree: the sim encodes events through it, the session decodes through it, and the test that skips until it exists now passes. The argument name cannot be recovered by splitting a telemetry key, because an argument can contain an underscore, so the expectation predicate matches on the suffix instead.
mcbebop
An MCP server for the Parrot Bebop 2, so an agent can talk to the drone without anyone writing code for each question.
Parrot abandoned the Bebop line, but the aircraft is still a capable, cheap platform and its protocol is fully described by Parrot's own XML, which this package vendors. Every one of the 264 commands is reachable; nothing is hand-wrapped.
Status: in development. Not flight-tested. See the safety section.
What it talks to
| Interface | Notes |
|---|---|
| ARSDK3 over UDP | commands and telemetry; this package implements the protocol directly |
| ARStream2 | live H.264 video. The Bebop 2 serves no RTSP, despite what older libraries assume |
| FTP | media, flight plans, blackbox logs |
| Telnet | read-only shell, only after the drone's debug mode is enabled |
Safety
Commands are classified by consequence. Observing and configuring are open;
anything that can spin a motor or change the flight envelope refuses until
arm() is called with a reason, and re-locks on a timer and on disconnect.
Landing and Emergency are deliberately never locked, because refusing to
land an airborne aircraft is the more dangerous answer.
connect(target="sim") runs everything against a protocol-accurate simulator,
which is where anything involving motion should be rehearsed.
