The BirdNet-Pi MCP Server is a Python-based server built on the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It connects to a BirdNet-Pi system to retrieve and analyze bird species detection data.
To use it, clone its repository and set up a Python environment. After installing dependencies from requirements.txt and configuring the settings, run the server locally. You can then interact with its various API endpoints for data and analysis.
Key features include retrieving bird detection data with filters for date and species, accessing detection statistics and audio recordings, analyzing daily activity patterns, and generating reports.
Typical use cases are monitoring bird activity in specific areas, tracking species diversity over time, and creating reports for research or conservation purposes.
It requires Python 3.8 or higher. Once running, the API is accessible at http://localhost:8000, with endpoints like /functions and /invoke. Paths for detection files and audio directories can be customized using environment variables.
