Installation

mcnanovna

From PyPI (Recommended)

MCP Client

For Claude Code:

claude mcp add mcnanovna -- uvx mcnanovna

For other MCP clients, configure uvx mcnanovna as a server.

Standalone

# Run directly with uvx
uvx mcnanovna

# Or install globally
pipx install mcnanovna
mcnanovna

From Source

git clone https://git.supported.systems/rf/mcnanovna.git
cd mcnanovna
uv sync
uv run mcnanovna

With Web UI

The optional 3D radiation pattern viewer requires additional dependencies:

# From source
uv sync --extra webui
MCNANOVNA_WEB_PORT=8080 uv run mcnanovna

# Open http://localhost:8080 in your browser

mcpositioner

From PyPI

MCP Client

For Claude Code:

claude mcp add mcpositioner -- uvx mcpositioner

For other MCP clients, configure uvx mcpositioner as a server.

Standalone

uvx mcpositioner

From Source

git clone https://git.supported.systems/rf/mcpositioner.git
cd mcpositioner
uv sync
uv run mcpositioner

Note

mcpositioner requires the ESP32 positioner hardware. See Hardware Build for assembly instructions.

Environment Variables

mcnanovna

Variable	Default	Description
MCNANOVNA_WEB_PORT	(disabled)	Port for 3D pattern web UI

mcpositioner

Variable	Default	Description
MCPOSITIONER_HOST	positioner.local	ESP32 hostname or IP

Both Servers Together

For automated 3D antenna pattern measurement, add both servers to your MCP client:

# Claude Code example
claude mcp add mcnanovna -- uvx mcnanovna
claude mcp add mcpositioner -- uvx mcpositioner

Then use the measure_antenna_range prompt to run automated pattern sweeps.
