MCP Community Begins Work on Official MCP Metaregistry
The MCP community is launching an official registry to standardize AI tool discovery and let agents dynamically find and install MCP servers.
Locates the current wifi-enabled computer using nearby access points and https://radiocells.org/geolocation or https://wiki.mozilla.org/CloudServices/Location/FAQ or both.
Project home: https://github.com/ways/wifindme
Takes over from https://github.com/ways/locate-radiocells with the added benefit of Mozilla Location Services.
.. code:: bash
$ pip install wifindme
Must run as root to get access to scanning on Linux.
Example use:
.. code:: python
import wifindme
accuracy, latlng = wifindme.locate(device='wlan0')
Example script included in examples/, (prints out accuracy in meters, and coordinates):
.. code:: bash
$ sudo ./wifindme.py wlan0 30 (59.12345, 10.12345)
Python 2 and 3. Only tested on Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch).
example query sent to radiocells.org:
.. code:: json
curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"wifiAccessPoints":[{"macAddress":"24-DE-C6-A8-C9-64","signalStrength":-57}]}' https://radiocells.org/backend/geolocate
Example response:
.. code:: json
{"source": "wifis", "measurements": 14, "location": {"lat": 59.12345, "lng": 10.12345}, "accuracy": 30}
or on fail:
.. code:: json
{'resultType': 'error', 'results': {'source': 'none', 'measurements': 0, 'location': {'lat': 0.0, 'lng': 0.0}, 'accuracy': 9999}, 'error': {'message': 'Empty request', 'code': 400, 'errors': [{'message': None, 'reason': 'parseError', 'domain': 'global'}]}}
FAQs
Get position based on wifi APs and radiocells.org or Mozilla location database.
