116 tests. Video is the port of what was proven against the aircraft: no RTSP anywhere, SDP describing our own port, ffmpeg bound before the stream is enabled, -c copy for recording. Changes the stream made and justified: the video session takes a sender callback rather than owning a connection, so media/ imports nothing from arsdk or protocol; blocking subprocess waits moved off the event loop; exposure is restored even when entering the session fails. FTP exposes media, flightplans and logs. Port 51 is the firmware-write channel and is deliberately unreachable. The shell is an allow-list of command names with shell metacharacters refused outright, because the drone's telnet login is an unauthenticated root shell.
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.
