Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Aviation MCP Server What's the weather at KLAX?"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
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.

| Current decoded METAR for any ICAO airport — flight category (VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR), wind, visibility, temp, dewpoint. Optional TAF. |
| Airport info by ICAO — name, IATA, city, country, coordinates, elevation, runways. |
| Aircraft specs by slug — engines, seats, range, cruise, ceiling, MTOW, type rating. |
| Definition of an aviation term (e.g. |
| FAA-style practice exam questions with options + correct answer. Filter by subject. |

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.
Pay-per-use: a small charge per tool call (no subscription, no minimum). You only pay for the data your agent actually pulls.
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.
Get aircraft specifications by slug: engines, seats, range, cruise speed, ceiling, MTOW, type-rating requirement, and description. Example slugs: cessna-172-skyhawk, piper-pa-28-warrior, airbus-a320neo, boeing-737-800.
Inputs: slug (required).
Get airport information by ICAO code: name, IATA code, city, country, region, coordinates, elevation, and runway count.
Inputs: icao (required).
Look up the definition of an aviation term from the Rotate Pilot glossary by slug (e.g. squawk, angle-of-attack, v-speeds). Returns the definition, category, and related terms.
Inputs: term (required).
Get the current decoded METAR (aviation weather) for an airport by ICAO code. Returns raw report, flight category (VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR), wind, visibility, temperature, dewpoint, and more. Optionally include the TAF forecast.
Inputs: icao (required), taf.
Get FAA-style aviation practice exam questions with options and the correct answer. Optionally filter by subject (e.g. meteorology, regulations, navigation). Great for building study tools or quizzing a user.
Inputs: subject, count.
Get the aviation question of the day — a single FAA-style multiple-choice question with the correct answer and explanation.
Inputs: no named parameters.

Scored across 6 tools
Each tool targets a distinct aspect of aviation: aircraft specs, airport info, glossary terms, weather, and exam questions. No functional overlap exists.
All tool names use a consistent verb_noun pattern with underscores (get_aircraft, get_metar, practice_questions), making the set predictable and easy to navigate.
Six tools is well-scoped for an aviation reference and exam prep server; each tool earns its place without redundancy or excess.
The set covers core aviation reference (aircraft, airports, weather, glossary) and exam preparation (practice questions, quiz). Minor gaps like NOTAMs or flight planning exist but are outside the stated purpose.
