Pota Mcp
Connects your AI assistant to the Parks on the Air API for live amateur radio activation data. You get eight tools covering current activator spots with optional filters, park lookups by reference code, activator and hunter stats by callsign, scheduled activations, and location-based park searches including a nearby finder for planning multi-park outings. No authentication needed since POTA's endpoints are public. Includes a mock mode for testing without network calls. Part of the qso-graph project. Useful if you're coordinating POTA operations, tracking propagation patterns, or just want to ask "who's activating parks on 20 meters right now" without opening a browser.
