Aviation MCP Server ✈️

aviation-mcp MCP server

Give your AI agent live aviation data. Connect this MCP server to Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, Cline, Continue, or Windsurf and your assistant can pull real METAR weather, airport info, aircraft specs, an aviation glossary, and FAA-style practice questions — on demand.

Powered by the free Rotate Pilot aviation API. No API keys to wrangle, no signup — just connect and go.

Tools (6)

Tool

What it does

get_metar

Current decoded METAR for any ICAO airport — flight category (VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR), wind, visibility, temp, dewpoint. Optional TAF.

get_airport

Airport info by ICAO — name, IATA, city, country, coordinates, elevation, runways.

get_aircraft

Aircraft specs by slug — engines, seats, range, cruise, ceiling, MTOW, type rating.

get_glossary_term

Definition of an aviation term (e.g. squawk, v-speeds) with related terms.

practice_questions

FAA-style practice exam questions with options + correct answer. Filter by subject.

quiz_of_the_day

The aviation question of the day.

Example prompts

  • "What's the current weather at KJFK and is it VFR?"

  • "Pull the specs for a Cessna 172 and a Piper Warrior and compare cruise speed and range."

  • "Give me 3 FAA meteorology practice questions and quiz me."

  • "What does the squawk code 7700 mean?"

Connect it

Option A — run it yourself (free, no key)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aviation": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@renzom13/aviation-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

That's it — npx pulls the package and starts the server over stdio. No signup, no token. Data comes from the free Rotate Pilot API.

Option B — hosted (zero-setup, pay-per-use)

For a managed, always-on endpoint with nothing to install, use the Apify-hosted version:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aviation": {
      "url": "https://renzomacar--aviation-mcp.apify.actor/mcp?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"
    }
  }
}

Get a free Apify token at console.apify.com/account/integrations. Legacy SSE clients can use /sse instead of /mcp. Hosted calls are billed per tool call.

Pricing

Pay-per-use: a small charge per tool call (no subscription, no minimum). You only pay for the data your agent actually pulls.

Data & attribution

All data comes from the free Rotate Pilot aviation API (docs · OpenAPI spec), built by a commercial pilot. Weather is live; airport/aircraft/glossary data is curated reference data.
