Asrs Reports MCP server

@pipeworx/asrs-reports

De-identified aviation safety incident narratives from NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS) — search by keyword, date, aircraft or flight phase, or fetch one report's full narrative by its ACN.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1800+ live data sources. This is an independent, unofficial integration — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or published by the upstream provider.

Tools

keyword search across narrative, synopsis, topic and coded anomaly, with optional date-range, aircraft and flight-phase filters. Returns each report's ACN, date, airport/state, aircraft, flight phase, synopsis and a narrative excerpt.

• asrssearch(query?, datefrom?, date_to?, aircraft?, phase?, limit?) —

(date, airport, state, aircraft, flight phase, coded anomaly, contributing factors) plus the official synopsis.

• asrs_report(acn) — one report's full narrative and every coded field

report count and NASA's own last-updated date for that topic.

• asrs_topics() — the thirty safety topics this pack covers, each with its

Data sources

Ames Research Center's voluntary, confidential aviation-safety reporting program (contracted to Booz Allen Hamilton), publishing curated samples of de-identified incident reports on thirty standing safety topics (runway incursions, controlled flight toward terrain, bird/animal strikes, flight crew fatigue, icing, near midair collisions, and more). Each topic's report set is updated by NASA on its own schedule and the pack carries NASA's own per-topic update date. NASA's full keyword/date database search ("Database Online") has no callable API — it is a session-based, multi-step wizard — so this pack answers from NASA's own periodic Report Set publications rather than querying that wizard per request.

• NASA Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS), Database Report Sets — NASA

Built from NASA's own PDFs, not a live query. NASA publishes each Report Set as a PDF of up to 50 pre-screened reports. This pack parses the thirty current PDFs into structured records (1,412 unique reports after de-duplicating reports filed under more than one topic — alsofiledunder on asrsreport names the others). dataas_of on every response is the most recent of NASA's thirty per-topic update dates as of the last refresh.

Coverage, not completeness. This pack covers only NASA's thirty standing Report Set topics, not ASRS's full report archive (NASA's own search tool covers far more but has no API). asrs_topics lists exactly what is covered and how current each topic is — check it before concluding a topic has zero reports.

Caveats NASA states on every Report Set, carried on every response: reports are voluntarily submitted and not corroborated by NASA, the FAA or the NTSB, so the number of reports on a topic cannot be used to infer how common that problem actually is.

Store, not a bundled import. The 1,412 reports (full narrative text included) live in a D1 database the gateway hands this pack as d1 ("d1Binding": "ASRSDB" in pack-manifest.json; schema + queries in src/store.ts) — never a bundled import ... from './data.json'. An earlier version of this pack baked the same reports as a 3.6 MB src/data.json import, which pushed the gateway Worker over its bundle ceiling and blocked every lane's deploy for about an hour. No FTS5 — the dataset is small enough that plain LIKE-based filtering costs nothing, which also sidesteps D1's FTS5 chunked-import trap (an FTS5 index can arrive empty with no error at all).

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
