iflow-mcp_pradumnasaraf_aviationstack-mcp 1.4.0

An MCP server using the AviationStack API to fetch real-time flight data including airline flights, airport schedules, future flights and aircraft types

Aviationstack MCP Server

This project is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides a set of tools to interact with the AviationStack API. It exposes endpoints for retrieving real-time and future flight data, aircraft types, and airplane details, making it easy to integrate aviation data into your applications.

You can also find the Aviationstack MCP server in these well-known MCP server repositories for easy access:

• modelcontextprotocol/servers
• punkpeye/awesome-mcp-servers
• glama

Features

• Get flights for a specific airline
• Retrieve arrival and departure schedules for airports
• Fetch future flight schedules
• Get random aircraft types
• Get detailed info on random airplanes
• Get detailed info on random countries
• Get detailed info on random cities

All endpoints are implemented as MCP tools and are ready to be used in an MCP-compatible environment.

Prerequisites

• Aviationstack API Key (You can get a FREE API Key from Aviationstack)
• Python 3.13 or newer
• uv package manager installed

Development

• The main server logic is in server.py.
• All MCP tools are defined as Python functions decorated with @mcp.tool().
• The server uses the FastMCP class from mcp.server.fastmcp.

MCP Server configuration

To add this server to your favorite MCP client, you can add the following to your MCP client configuration file.

1. Using uvx without cloning the repository (recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Aviationstack MCP": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "aviationstack-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AVIATION_STACK_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}

2. By cloning the repository and running the server locally

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Aviationstack MCP": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/aviationstack-mcp/src/aviationstack_mcp",
        "run",
        "-m",
        "aviationstack_mcp",
        "mcp",
        "run"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AVIATION_STACK_API_KEY": "<your-api-key>"
      }
    }
  }
}
