README

ionis-mcp

Overview

IONIS (Ionospheric Neural Inference System) is an open-source machine learning system for predicting HF (shortwave) radio propagation. The datasets — curated from the world's largest amateur radio telemetry networks — are distributed as SQLite files on SourceForge.

ionis-mcp bridges those datasets to AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol. Install the package, download data, and Claude (Desktop or Code) can answer propagation questions using 11 specialized tools — no SQL required.

Example questions:

"When is 20m open from Idaho to Europe?"
"How does solar flux affect 15m propagation?"
"Show me 10m paths at 03z where both stations are in the dark"
"Compare WSPR and RBN observations on 20m FN31 to JO51"
"What are the current band conditions? I'm heading out for POTA."
"What were the solar conditions during the February 2026 geomagnetic storm?"

Datasets

Source	Signatures	Raw Observations	SNR Type	Years
WSPR	93.6M	10.9B beacon spots	Measured (-30 to +20 dB)	2008-2026
RBN	67.3M	2.3B CW/RTTY spots	Measured (8-29 dB)	2009-2026
CQ Contests	5.7M	234M SSB/RTTY QSOs	Anchored (+10/0 dB)	2005-2025
DXpeditions	260K	3.9M rare-grid paths	Measured	2009-2025
PSK Reporter	8.4M	514M+ FT8/WSPR spots	Measured (-34 to +38 dB)	Feb 2026+
Solar Indices	—	77K daily/3-hour records	SFI, SSN, Kp, Ap	2000-2026
DSCOVR L1	—	23K solar wind samples	Bz, speed, density	Feb 2026+

All signature tables share an identical 13-column schema (tx_grid, rx_grid, band, hour, month, median_snr, spot_count, snr_std, reliability, avg_sfi, avg_kp, avg_distance, avg_azimuth) — ready for cross-source analysis.

Quick Start

# 1. Install
pip install ionis-mcp

# 2. Download datasets (to default location: ~/.ionis-mcp/data/)
ionis-download --bundle minimal          # ~430 MB — contest + solar + grids
ionis-download --bundle recommended      # ~1.1 GB — adds PSKR + DSCOVR
ionis-download --bundle full             # ~15 GB  — all 9 datasets

# 3. Configure Claude (see below) and restart — tools appear automatically

That's it. Both ionis-download and ionis-mcp use the same default data directory. No environment variables needed.

Default Data Directory

Platform	Location
Linux / macOS	`~/.ionis-mcp/data/`
Windows	`%LOCALAPPDATA%\ionis-mcp\data\`

Override with a custom path:

# Download to custom location
ionis-download --bundle minimal /path/to/my/data

# Tell the server where to find it
ionis-mcp --data-dir /path/to/my/data
# or
export IONIS_DATA_DIR=/path/to/my/data

Download Individual Datasets

# Pick specific datasets
ionis-download --datasets wspr,rbn,grids,solar

# See all available datasets and bundles
ionis-download --list

# Re-download (overwrite existing)
ionis-download --bundle minimal --force

Configure Your MCP Client

ionis-mcp works with any MCP-compatible client. Add the server config and restart — tools appear automatically.

If you downloaded data to a custom location, add "env": { "IONIS_DATA_DIR": "/path/to/data" } to any config below.

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/ on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\ on Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
