# Aviation MCP Server ✈️
[](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/Perufitlife/aviation-mcp)
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](https://rotatepilot.com/developers) aviation API. **No API keys to wrangle, no signup** — just connect and go.
## Tools (6)
| Tool | What it does |
|------|--------------|
| `get_metar` | Current decoded METAR for any ICAO airport — flight category (VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR), wind, visibility, temp, dewpoint. Optional TAF. |
| `get_airport` | Airport info by ICAO — name, IATA, city, country, coordinates, elevation, runways. |
| `get_aircraft` | Aircraft specs by slug — engines, seats, range, cruise, ceiling, MTOW, type rating. |
| `get_glossary_term` | Definition of an aviation term (e.g. `squawk`, `v-speeds`) with related terms. |
| `practice_questions` | FAA-style practice exam questions with options + correct answer. Filter by subject. |
| `quiz_of_the_day` | The aviation question of the day. |
## 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)
```json
{
"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:
```json
{
"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](https://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](https://rotatepilot.com/developers) · [OpenAPI spec](https://rotatepilot.com/openapi.json)), built by a commercial pilot. Weather is live; airport/aircraft/glossary data is curated reference data.
