read_log fetches the live log over FTP and filters by tag, severity and message before it returns anything, because half an hour of uptime is five thousand entries. It excludes shp_usbmode by default, a five-second USB poll that can be a third of the log, and says in the result that it did so. Only the current file is reachable: the archives the drone rotates into are a previous owner's sessions and carry network and location data, which is a decision for a person, not a tool. bebop://commands is the resource worth having, because it needs no drone: the whole catalogue is readable with the aircraft switched off. The ones that do need a link return an explanation rather than raising, since a resource that errors looks broken while one that explains itself is empty for a reason. bebop://state also reports telemetry age, because the aircraft accepts a second controller and silently redirects telemetry to it, so a connected flag proves nothing. The log says nothing resolvable about ARSDK, measured rather than assumed: no command ids appear anywhere in it, and the COMMANDS function names match arsdk-xml for 4 of 11 symbols, 3.5% of the tag. So nothing here resolves them, and read_log says where to look instead. _host moves into tools/_common as drone_host now that three tool modules need it, and head/tail in the shell allow-list gains the reason they must take a file argument: ld.so.preload makes SIGPIPE fatal, so a pipe into head writes a crash report to the aircraft's flash.
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.
