About FlightDB

FlightDB is an MCP server for searching aircraft registries, flight histories, and flight analytics using ADS-B Exchange data and official registry records. It serves clients that need aircraft and airport information, with filters and per-aircraft historical breakdowns.

Key features

  1. 01Search paginated flight records with filters
  2. 02Browse aircraft by registration, country, or ICAO
  3. 03View aircraft profiles and flight aggregates
  4. 04Break down flights by year, distance, and country
  5. 05Review airport visits and aircraft timelines
  6. 06Look up airports by IATA or ICAO code

Use cases

  1. 01Count an aircraft’s flights in a selected year
  2. 02Find airports visited most often by an aircraft
  3. 03List aircraft by type and registration country
  4. 04Review an aircraft’s arrival countries over time

MCP support

From the project README

FlightDB MCP

Connect your AI assistant to FlightDB — aircraft registry search, flight history, and analytics via the Model Context Protocol.

FlightDB aggregates flight data from ADS-B Exchange, one of the largest unfiltered ADS-B data sources, combined with official aircraft registry records. Unlike FlightRadar24, FlightAware, or Planefinder — which filter or suppress certain flights — FlightDB gives you unfiltered access to full flight histories with deep per-aircraft analytics you won't find elsewhere.

Connect

https://flightdb.org/mcp

Add this URL as a custom MCP connector in Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client. Sign in with Google when prompted.

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.
