Tools

Tool

Description

search_airports

Look up an airport by city name (e.g. "Tokyo", "New York", "London") OR by 3-letter IATA code (e.g. "JFK", "LHR"). City lookup uses a bundled map of the top ~150 international hubs; cities with multiple airports return all primary ones. For airports not in the bundle, pass an IATA code or use the aviationstack pack for full-text name/country search.

get_airport

Get airport details by IATA code (e.g., "JFK", "LHR"). Returns name, city, country, coordinates, altitude, timezone.

calculate_distance

Calculate straight-line distance between two airports by IATA code (e.g., "JFK" to "LHR"). Returns kilometers and miles.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airports": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/airports/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Airports data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
