About Data Transport Agent

Data Transport Agent is a headless service for converting data across structured, document, encoding, and aviation formats. It is aimed at AI agents and other clients, with aviation data parsing and MCP, A2A, and OpenAPI discovery.

Key features

  1. 01Converts data across 67+ format pairs
  2. 02Handles structured, document, and encoding formats
  3. 03Parses aviation weather and flight formats
  4. 04Returns aviation data as JSON or Markdown

Use cases

  1. 01Convert JSON, CSV, XML, YAML, or TOML
  2. 02Turn METAR or PIREP reports into structured data
  3. 03Convert documents such as PDF, Excel, and DOCX

MCP support

Exposes data transformation through an MCP endpoint at `/mcp`, which MCP clients can connect to. It is also discoverable through Google A2A and OpenAPI.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
"mcpServers": {
"transform-agent-brad04-ai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mcp-remote"
]
}
}
}
Run commandnpx -y mcp-remote

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

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.
