Flightradar24 MCP Server

This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides access to the Flightradar24 API for real-time and historical flight data. This server enables AI assistants like Claude to access comprehensive aviation data including live flight positions, aircraft information, airport details, and flight histories.

Features

  • Real-time Flight Tracking: Get live positions of aircraft worldwide
  • Historical Flight Data: Access flight data dating back to May 11, 2016
  • Comprehensive Flight Information: Detailed aircraft, airline, and airport data
  • Flexible Filtering: Search by callsigns, registrations, routes, aircraft types, and more
  • Flight Summaries: Complete takeoff and landing information
  • Aircraft Tracks: Detailed positional tracking for specific flights

Installation

Via npm

npm install -g @flightradar24/fr24api-mcp

Prerequisites

  1. Node.js: Version 18.0.0 or higher
  2. Flightradar24 API Key: Get your API key from https://fr24api.flightradar24.com

Configuration

Claude Desktop Integration

Add this configuration to your claudedesktopconfig.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fr24api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@flightradar24/fr24api-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "FR24_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important Notes:

  • Replace yourapikey_here with your actual Flightradar24 API key
  • Restart Claude Desktop after adding the configuration
  • If installed locally, use the full path: "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/build/index.js"]

Other MCP Clients

For other MCP clients, run the server directly:
