What is the DJI Developer MCP Server?
Connect your AI agents to the DJI Developer Platform, the industry standard for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). This MCP provides 10 tools to manage enterprise drone fleets, monitor real-time telemetry logs, and orchestrate firmware lifecycle management for aircraft and payloads.
What you can do
- Fleet Monitoring — List registered aircraft and payloads to track operational readiness and hardware versions
- Flight Orchestration — Retrieve detailed flight logs and telemetry data for post-mission analysis and compliance
- Hardware Intelligence — Get granular health reports and technical specifications for any device in your DJI ecosystem
- Firmware Lifecycle — Check for latest firmware releases and monitor the progress of remote updates programmatically
- Resource Management — Manage organization structures and retrieve pilot profiles linked to your developer account
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Log in to the DJI Developer Center
- Register your application to obtain your App ID and App Key
- Enable the Cloud API or Enterprise API for your devices

Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings DJI Developer data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Can I automatically list all aircraft in my DJI fleet?
Yes! Use the list_aircraft tool. Your agent will retrieve a complete list of all registered drones in your account, including their model names and current firmware versions.
How do I monitor the health status of a specific drone?
Use the get_device_health tool with the aircraft serial number. The agent will return real-time health metrics, battery status, and any active error codes from the DJI platform.
Can I retrieve telemetry logs from past missions?
Yes! Use the get_flight_logs tool. Your agent will fetch detailed historical flight data, including GPS coordinates, altitude, and velocity profiles for any recorded mission.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
