Parse Parrot's common.xml and ardrone3.xml into CommandSpec objects rather than transcribing 264 commands by hand. Direction is derived from comment result=/triggered= with a class-name-suffix fallback for the 31 commands that state neither, giving 101 to-drone and 163 from-drone. ardrone3.Piloting.FlatTrim is injected: the firmware accepts it but neither the vendored snapshot nor upstream defines it. codec encodes the <BBH header (the command id is 16 bits, not 8) and reads enums as i32 and strings as NUL-terminated, both of which pyparrot gets wrong. safety assigns the arming tier by class, with Mavlink and Calibration counted as motion because they move the aircraft. expectations parses the undocumented #p-c-m grammar including | alternatives and this.<arg> echoes. 90 tests, counts asserted so a bad parse fails loudly.
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.
