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 aviation API. **No API keys to wrangle, no signup** — just connect and go.

Connect it
Option A — run it yourself (free, no key)
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:
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.
