Interface for AI agents to use your astrophotography setup using N.I.N.A (Beta)
N.I.N.A Model Context Protocol Server for Advanced API Plugin v2 (MCP)
A powerful interface for controlling N.I.N.A. (Nighttime Imaging 'N' Astronomy) software through its Advanced APININA Advanced API. This Model Context Protocol Server (MCP) enables AI agents to interact with NINA using tools, providing new way to interact with your setup. Usage with your own responsibility.
-
Complete Equipment Control for AI agents
- Cameras (capture, cooling, settings, connecting ....)
- Mounts (slewing, parking, tracking...)
- Focusers (movement, temperature compensation ... )
- Filter Wheels (filter selection, info ...)
- Domes (rotation, shutter control ...)
- Rotators (movement, sync...)
- ...
- Natural language command processing
- Contextual help system
- Intelligent error responses
- Automated decision making
**Most of the NINA advanced API v2 api interface endpoints supported
- Python 3.8 or higher
- NINA software with Advanced API plugin
- uvpackage manager
- AI agent with MCP support (e.g., Claude)
# Install the plugins in NINA # Enable and configure in NINA settings
git clone https://github.com/PaDev1/Nina_advanced_api_mcp.git cd nina-mcp
# Create .env file NINA_HOST=your_nina_host NINA_PORT=1888 LOG_LEVEL=INFO IMAGE_SAVE_DIR=~/Desktop/NINA_Images
Add to your AI agent's MCP configuration:
{ "mcpServers": { "nina_advanced_mcp_api": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "run", "--with", "fastmcp,fastapi,uvicorn,pydantic,aiohttp,requests,python-dotenv", "fastmcp", "run", "path/nina_advanced_mcp.py" ], "env": { "NINA_HOST": "NINA_IP", "NINA_PORT": "1888", "LOG_LEVEL": "INFO", "IMAGE_SAVE_DIR": "~/Desktop/NINA_Images" } } } }
