Crew Qualifications & Certifications MCP Server

Production-ready MCP server for airline crew data, qualifications, certifications, and automated pay calculations.

Part of the Number Labs Airline Agentic Operating System - Avelo Airlines Design Partnership

Overview

The Crew Qualifications MCP Server serves as the canonical source of truth for airline crew operations, enabling:

  • ✅ Automated Pay Calculations - Reduce crew pay claims by 80% through accurate, automated calculations

  • ✅ FAA Part 117 Compliance - Real-time duty time validation and legality checking

  • ✅ Qualification Tracking - Comprehensive crew qualification and certification management

  • ✅ Proactive Alerts - Automatic notifications for expiring licenses, medicals, and training

  • ✅ Multi-App Integration - Powers crew scheduling, pay processing, and training management systems

Business Impact

Current State: Daily crew pay claims due to manual calculation errors Target State: 80% reduction in claims through automated validation ROI: Reduced administrative overhead + improved crew satisfaction

MCP Tools

The server provides 8 powerful tools:

1. get-crew-qualifications

Get comprehensive qualification profile for a crew member including licenses, ratings, medical, and training status.

2. validate-crew-legality

Validate if a crew member can legally be assigned to a duty period based on FAA Part 117, qualifications, and rest requirements.

3. calculate-crew-pay

Calculate crew member pay for a given period using automated rules engine with union contract compliance.

4. flag-pay-discrepancies

Analyze pay records to identify potential discrepancies and prevent crew claims.

5. get-training-requirements

Get training requirements and currency status for crew members.

6. check-certification-expiry

Monitor and alert on expiring certifications (licenses, medicals, type ratings).

7. get-qualified-crew-pool

Get list of qualified and available crew members for specific aircraft types and duty periods.

8. update-duty-time

Record duty time, flight time, and rest periods for crew members.

Database Schema

The system uses 10 core tables:

  • crew_members - Core crew member information

  • pilot_qualifications - Pilot licenses and qualifications

  • aircraft_type_ratings - Aircraft type rating certifications

  • medical_certificates - Medical certificate tracking

  • recurrent_training - Training and recurrency records

  • duty_time_records - Flight and duty time tracking

  • crew_pay_records - Pay calculation records

  • pay_calculation_rules - Configurable pay rules

  • crew_claims - Pay claim tracking

  • faa_part117_compliance - FAA compliance monitoring

See database/schema.sql for complete schema definition.
