### Description (declared)

# allstar-mcp

MCP server for [AllStar Link](https://allstarlink.org) node control. Wraps [ASL3-API](https://github.com/KJ5IRQ/asl3-api) REST endpoints as MCP tools, giving AI agents (Claude, GPT-4, any MCP-compatible client) structured, intent-aware access to AllStar Link node monitoring and control.

The first MCP server for AllStar Link in existence.

## Architecture

```
Claude / AI Agent
      |
  allstar-mcp  (FastMCP, Python)
      |
  ASL3-API  (REST + SSE, port 8073)
      |
  AMI / Asterisk / app_rpt
```

The MCP server is a translation layer only. It never touches AMI directly — all operations go through ASL3-API REST endpoints.

## Requirements

- ASL3-API v1.4+ running on your AllStar node (see [ASL3-API](https://github.com/KJ5IRQ/asl3-api))
- Python 3.11+ or `uv`

## Quick Start

```bash
ALLSTAR_API_KEY=yourkey ALLSTAR_API_URL=http://your-node:8073 uvx allstar-mcp
```

## Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "allstar": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["allstar-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "ALLSTAR_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here",
        "ALLSTAR_API_URL": "http://your-node-ip:8073"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `ALLSTAR_API_KEY` | Yes | — | ASL3-API authentication key |
| `ALLSTAR_API_URL` | No | `http://localhost:8073` | Base URL of your ASL3-API instance |

## Tool Surface

### Read-only (no risk)

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `health_check` | API reachable, auth works, AMI connected, node/version |
| `get_node_status` | Uptime, keyup count, TX time, DTMF stats |
| `get_connected_nodes` | Who is linked and where (with callsign/location) |
| `get_live_variables` | Live RX/TX keyed state, link counts, autopatch status |
| `get_capabilities` | What this node supports — for agent auto-config |
| `lookup_node` | Callsign, location from 40k-node AllS…
