What is copper-mountain-vna-mcp?

copper-mountain-vna-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes a Copper Mountain VNA — RVNA, TRVNA, S2VNA, or S4VNA family — to any MCP-capable AI assistant. The server speaks raw TCP/IP SCPI to the Copper Mountain software socket server (default port 5025), then surfaces sweep configuration, calibration, S-parameter capture, marker math, and Touchstone export as plain MCP tools.

Drive it from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code Copilot, or any other MCP client. SCPI is generated server-side, so the AI agent never needs to know the underlying command set — it just calls vna_configure_sweep, vna_trigger_sweep, vna_get_s_parameter and gets back structured data.

What copper-mountain-vna-mcp does well:

🤖 AI-native via MCP. First-class Model Context Protocol server with 45 tools. Any Claude / LLM agent can drive it.
🐍 Python + MCP surfaces. Import coppermountain_vna_mcp for direct driver access, or run as an MCP server for AI-agent automation.
⚡ Direct TCP/IP SCPI. No VISA dependency, no proprietary middleware — just asyncio sockets straight to the Copper Mountain software socket server.
✅ Validated against 4 VNA families. RVNA (S11), TRVNA (S11/S21), S2VNA (full 2-port), S4VNA (full 4×4).
🔒 AGPL-3.0-or-later. Network-copyleft open-source. Independent of Copper Mountain Technologies (trademark disclaimer below).

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/RFingAdam/copper-mountain-vna-mcp.git
cd copper-mountain-vna-mcp
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Python

import asyncio
from coppermountain_vna_mcp.driver import CopperMountainVNADriver
from coppermountain_vna_mcp.models import SParameter, SweepConfig

async def main():
    async with CopperMountainVNADriver("127.0.0.1", 5025) as vna:
        await vna.configure_sweep(SweepConfig(
            start_freq_hz=1e9, stop_freq_hz=2e9,
            num_points=201, if_bandwidth_hz=1000, power_dbm=0,
        ))
        await vna.trigger_sweep()
        data = await vna.get_s_parameter_data(SParameter.S11)
        marker = await vna.marker_search_min()
        print(f"Best match: {marker.frequency_hz/1e9:.3f} GHz @ {marker.magnitude_db:.1f} dB")

asyncio.run(main())

MCP (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, any MCP client)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "copper-mountain-vna": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "coppermountain_vna_mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VNA_DEFAULT_HOST": "127.0.0.1",
        "VNA_DEFAULT_PORT": "5025"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then ask your assistant in plain English:

"Connect to the VNA on 127.0.0.1, sweep 1–2 GHz at 201 points, and tell me where S11 is best matched."

The agent will call vna_connect, vna_configure_sweep, vna_trigger_sweep, and vna_marker_search_min in sequence and report the result.

Start the VNA software socket server

The VNA software runs on Windows. Enable the socket server via command line:

:: S2VNA / S4VNA
S2VNA.exe /SocketServer:on /SocketPort:5025 /visible:on

:: RVNA / TRVNA
RVNA.exe EnableSocket:5025

Or in the GUI: System > Socket Server > Enable.

Configuration

Configure via environment variables or .env file:

Variable	Default	Description
`VNA_DEFAULT_HOST`	`127.0.0.1`	VNA software host IP
`VNA_DEFAULT_PORT`	`5025`	Socket server port
`VNA_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT`	`5.0`	TCP connection timeout (s)
`VNA_COMMAND_TIMEOUT`	`30.0`	SCPI command timeout (s)
`VNA_MAX_POWER_DBM`	`10`	Max output power

Calibration

Standard cal flows are exposed as discrete tools so an agent can walk them step by step.

SOL (1-port reflection):

vna_calibration_start(method="SOL")
vna_calibration_measure_standard(standard="SHORT", port_num=1)
vna_calibration_measure_standard(standard="OPEN", port_num=1)
vna_calibration_measure_standard(standard="LOAD", port_num=1)
vna_calibration_apply()
vna_correction_on()

SOLT (2-port full): SHORT/OPEN/LOAD on both ports, then THRU between them, then apply.

Calibration is frequency-specific — recalibrate when the sweep range changes substantially.

Measurement templates

Pre-configured sweep + marker + trace setups for common DUT classes. Load by name with vna_load_template, then vna_apply_template to push to the VNA.

Category	Examples
Antennas — WiFi/BLE	`antenna_wifi_24ghz`, `antenna_ble_24ghz`, `antenna_wifi_5ghz`, `antenna_wifi_5ghz_unii1/unii3`, `antenna_wifi_6ghz`, `antenna_wifi_dual_band`, `antenna_wifi_tri_band`
Antennas — MIMO	`antenna_mimo_wifi_24ghz`, `antenna_mimo_wifi_5ghz`, `antenna_mimo_wifi_dual_band`, `antenna_mimo_cellular`

await vna.apply_template()
