Aviation MCP: Model Context Protocol Servers for Aviation Data

Aviation MCP provides a suite of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that map to FAA and other aviation APIs, making it easy to integrate real-time aviation data into your LLM-powered workflows. This project is designed for developers who want to connect their LLM clients (such as Cursor, Claude, or others) to authoritative aviation data sources for weather, NOTAMs, charts, aircraft info, and more.

Features

  • Modular MCP servers for aviation data
  • Integrates with FAA, Aviation Weather, and other APIs
  • Easy configuration for use with any MCP-compatible LLM client
  • Published as an npm package: aviation-mcp

Using the MCP Server

Add the aviation-mcp server to your mcp.json like so. Make sure to update the keys to contain valid values (visit https://api.faa.gov/s/ for FAA API client creds, https://api-ninjas.com/ for their API keys) or remove them (and the relevant APIs will be hidden).

Aviation Weather (including lots of geo-referenced data) and Charts do not need any API keys. Everything else is currently broken, or I'm waiting on API approvals from the FAA API website, etc.

{ "mcpServers": { "aviation": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "aviation-mcp" ], "env": { "API_NINJA_KEY": "<your-key>", "FAA_CLIENT_ID": "<your-id>", "FAA_CLIENT_SECRET": "<your-secret>" } } } }

Official Sources

  • weather: Aviation weather data (METAR, TAF, PIREP, SIGMET, G-AIRMET, etc.)
  • charts: Sectional, TAC, IFR enroute, and TPP charts

🚧 Broken Sources 🚧

  • precipitation: FAA EIM Weather Proximity API (precipitation data)
  • airports: FAA airport and runway information
  • notam: FAA NOTAM API

Not Implemented

  • delays: The ASWS FAA API provides information about airport delays.

🚧🚧 Unofficial Sources 🚧🚧

  • aircraft: Aircraft data

Usage

Once configured, your LLM client can connect to the MCP servers and query aviation data as needed. Refer to your client's documentation for details on supplying the mcp.json config.
