Aviation MCP Server ✈️
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.

Example prompts
- "What's the current weather at KJFK and is it VFR?"
- "Pull the specs for a Cessna 172 and a Piper Warrior and compare cruise speed and range."
- "Give me 3 FAA meteorology practice questions and quiz me."
- "What does the squawk code 7700 mean?"
Connect it
Option A — run it yourself (free, no key)
{
"mcpServers": {
"aviation": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@renzom13/aviation-mcp"]
}
}
}That's it — npx pulls the package and starts the server over stdio. No signup, no token. Data comes from the free Rotate Pilot API.
Option B — hosted (zero-setup, pay-per-use)
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.
Pricing
Pay-per-use: a small charge per tool call (no subscription, no minimum). You only pay for the data your agent actually pulls.
Data & attribution
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.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
