Standardize team flight protocols

Commit your `mcp.json` to the repository so every engineer has the same `list_devices` and `get_mission_status` access. It eliminates configuration drift across your entire team. Everyone works from the same source of truth for fleet health. It keeps the team aligned on drone availability.

Streamline media management

Use `list_media_files` to catalog captures across the team's drones. It turns a manual search into a single command that everyone can run. Generate secure access links with `get_media_upload_url`. Your team gets the files they need without manual file transfers or email chains.

Monitor firmware across the fleet

Call `get_firmware_info` to generate a report on your fleet's current state. It ensures every drone your team operates is compliant with your safety standards. You can spot outdated hardware before it hits the field. It makes fleet maintenance a predictable part of your workflow.
