Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a distinct purpose: direction filter, current positions, closest aircraft, range stats, receiver stats, and search by identifier. There is no overlap in functionality.
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern (get_ or search_ prefix), making the naming predictable and easy to understand.
With 6 tools, the server is well-scoped for an ADS-B tracking service, covering the essential query and statistics operations without excess.
The tool surface covers core aircraft querying, searching, and receiver statistics. Missing features like historical data or detailed flight tracking are minor gaps for a basic MCP server.
