MCAP is a container format for time-series data commonly used in robotics and autonomous systems; this package bridges the gap between MCAP's file reading capabilities and protobuf message deserialization, allowing you to extract and work with protobuf messages stored in MCAP files.\n\nThe package is lightweight, depending only on mcap and protobuf, and integrates directly into the MCAP reader workflow. It's maintained by Foxglove and actively used in production environments for processing sensor data and logs from robotics systems.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, carries a permissive MIT license, and solves a specific need for anyone working with MCAP files containing protobuf data. Install friction is low and the dependency chain is minimal."},"id":"mcap-protobuf-support","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mcap-protobuf-support","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/mcap-protobuf-support.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/mcap-protobuf-support/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-12-24","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"mcap-protobuf-support","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Protobuf support for the Python MCAP library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":624478,"position":5700,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.5.4"}
