Description

get_flights

Get all flights within a time interval (max 2 hours). Returns ICAO24 address, callsign, departure/arrival airports. Provide begin and end as Unix timestamps. Example: get_flights(1696118400, 1696125600).

get_aircraft

Get flights for a specific aircraft by its ICAO24 transponder address (hex string, e.g., "3c675a"). Returns departure/arrival airports and times. Optionally specify a time range.

get_states

Get live ADS-B state vectors for all currently tracked aircraft (up to 100 returned), or filter to specific aircraft by passing comma-separated ICAO24 hex addresses. Returns position (lat/lon), barometric and geometric altitude (metres), velocity (m/s), heading (degrees), vertical rate, and on-ground flag.

airspace_activity

Summary of live flight activity over a named region — total aircraft count, by-country breakdown of operators, average altitude, ground vs in-air split. Built for "is airspace open / closed" style geopolitical bets (Polymarket "Iran closes its airspace by X", "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal", "Russia closes airspace"). Supported regions: Iran, Israel, Syria, Ukraine, Russia, Taiwan, North Korea, South China Sea, Yemen, Strait of Hormuz, Taiwan Strait, Red Sea, Saudi Arabia, Gulf of Aden, Lebanon.

Quick Start

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "opensky": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/opensky/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 Opensky data" })

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