flightaware-mcp

Live flight tracking and aviation data via FlightAware AeroAPI through MCP. Use when the user asks to track a flight, look up a flight's status/position/route/track, see an airport's arrivals/departures/delays/weather, find flights for an airline, look up an aircraft's owner, get scheduled flights between dates, or manage FlightAware flight alerts. Triggers on phrases like "where is flight UAL123", "track flight", "JFK departures", "is my flight delayed", "flights near", "who owns tail number N12345", or "set up a flight alert". Requires the @chrischall/flightaware-mcp package installed and the flightaware server registered (see Setup), plus an AeroAPI key.

Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s17cjx1a349nz5apaqp02vgz4h85728z:flightaware-mcp

Setup complexity is classified as HIGH. You must provision dedicated cloud infrastructure or an isolated VM. Do not run this directly on your local workstation.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

# flightaware-mcp

MCP server for **FlightAware AeroAPI** (v4) — live flight tracking, airport boards, operators, schedules, aircraft, and flight alerts, exposed to Claude over stdio.

- **npm:** [npmjs.com/package/@chrischall/flightaware-mcp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@chrischall/flightaware-mcp)
- **Source:** [github.com/chrischall/flightaware-mcp](https://github.com/chrischall/flightaware-mcp)

## Setup

### Option A — npx (recommended)

Add to `.mcp.json` in your project or `~/.claude/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flightaware": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@chrischall/flightaware-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "AEROAPI_API_KEY": "your-aeroapi-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Get a key at [flightaware.com/aeroapi/portal](https://www.flightaware.com/aeroapi/portal/). The free **Personal** tier (500 calls/month) is enough to get started; AeroAPI bills per query.

### Option B — from source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/chrischall/flightaware-mcp
cd flightaware-mcp
npm install && npm run build
```

## Environment

| Var | Required | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `AEROAPI_API_KEY` | yes | Your FlightAware AeroAPI key (sent as the `x-apikey` header). |
| `AEROAPI_OUTPUT_DIR` | no | Default directory for flight-map PNGs (default: `~/Downloads/flightaware-mcp`). |
| `AEROAPI_CACHE_TTL` | no | Seconds to cache identical **live-data** GET responses to cut per-query billing (default: 15; `0` disables). |
| `AEROAPI_STATIC_CACHE_TTL` | no | Longer TTL for **reference data** that rarely changes — airport/operator info, routes, ownership, canonical lookups (default: 3600; `0` disables). |

## Tools

Every read tool below takes an optional `view` and answers on the **compact**
rung when you omit it — see [Response shape](#response-shape-view).

**Flights:** `fa_get_flights`, `fa_search_flights`, `fa_search_flights_advanced`, `fa_search_flight_positions`, `fa_count_flights`, `fa_get_flight_track`, `fa_get_flight_position`, `fa_get_flight_route`, `fa_get_flight_map`, `fa_get_flight_history`, `fa_resolve_flight`

**Airports:** `fa_get_airport`, `fa_get_airport_flights`, `fa_get_airport_flight_counts`, `fa_get_airport_routes`, `fa_list_airports`, `fa_get_nearby_airports`, `fa_get_airport_delays`, `fa_get_airport_weat

## Description:

Provides flight tracking, airport information, schedules, aircraft ownership lookups, and flight alert management through FlightAware AeroAPI.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[chrischall](https://clawhub.ai/user/chrischall)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Travelers, aviation enthusiasts, and developers use this skill to check flight status, positions, airport activity, schedules, and aircraft ownership, or to manage flight alerts.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: Installing an unverified package could expose the user's environment or API key.

Mitigation: Verify the npm/GitHub package provenance before installation and use an AeroAPI key with only the privileges needed.

Risk: Alert writes can change FlightAware account alert settings and endpoints.

Mitigation: Keep alert creation, updates, deletion, and endpoint changes subject to explicit user confirmation.

## Skill Output:

**Output Type(s):** [Text, JSON, PNG images]

**Output Format:** [Flight and airport data, alert receipts, and optional flight-map PNGs]

**Output Parameters:** [1D]

**Other Properties Related to Output:** [Flight maps can be saved locally or returned inline; live requests use the user's AeroAPI quota.]
