About Aviation Stack MCP
Aviation Stack MCP connects MCP clients to Aviation Stack's flight status and global aviation data API. Its listed tools search flights by IATA number and find duplicate flights.
Key features
- 01Connects to the Aviation Stack API
- 02Searches flights by IATA number
- 03Finds duplicate flights
Use cases
- 01Look up a flight by IATA number
- 02Check for duplicate flight records
MCP support
The MCP server exposes Aviation Stack flight search and duplicate-finding tools to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.
Details
From the project README✈️ Aviation Stack MCP Server
This project implements an MCP Server and tools to query Aviation Stack, a real-time Flight Status & Global Aviation Data API.
What is Model Context Protocol?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standard developed by Anthropic that enables AI models to use tools by defining a structured format for tool descriptions, calls, and responses.
Installation
# Install from Test PyPI
pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ aviation-stack-mcp
# To install from Test PyPI and bypass SSL verification issues, you need to update your trusted hosts to match the test.pypi.org domain.
pip install -i https://test.pypi.org/simple/ aviation-stack-mcp \
--trusted-host test.pypi.org \
--trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org
# Or install from the project directory (development mode)
pip install -e .
Setup
🔐 Set your API key as an environment variable to enable access to the MCP server. Register and fetch your API keys from the aviation stack website.
Set the AVIATION_STACK_API_KEY key as an environment variable:
# On Unix/macOS
export AVIATION_STACK_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
# On Windows (PowerShell)
$env:AVIATION_STACK_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
