How It Works

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard by which an AI assistant such as Claude calls tools that a server provides; wpilog-mcp is such a server. Its tools open the logs, find entries, compute statistics, and report events. The reasoning is the model’s.

A log viewer such as AdvantageScope shows you the data, but only if you know where to look. With wpilog-mcp you ask an engineering or strategy question; the model finds the relevant entries, proposes an explanation, and tests it against the data with further tool calls.

What You Can Ask

Start broad; the model finds the logs and the entries. Then get as specific as the data allows:

• “Show me our logs from the Chesapeake District event.”
• “We lost Q42. Look at the log and help us understand what happened.”
• “What are the scoring rules for this year’s game?”
• “Pull our match results from The Blue Alliance and look for trends across the event.”
• “Walk me through the power delivery during teleop in Q42. Were there any brownout concerns?”
• “How did our four swerve modules compare in that match? Is one of them lagging the others?”
• “Did the vision corrections get larger late in the match? Line up the pose jumps against the time the arm was extended.”
• “The intake stalled twice. Find every moment its current was above 40 A while its velocity was zero, and show me the CAN bus health around each one.”
