Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server that lets an assistant search aircraft registries, look up flight histories and run per-aircraft analytics from ADS-B Exchange data.

What you can do
List and filter flights by aircraft, airport, country or date range, and browse the aircraft directory by registration, country or ICAO code. Retrieve a single aircraft header or a full profile with all flights and aggregates. Break down an aircraft's flying by year, trip distance band, arrival country, airport visits and visit timeline. Look up airport details by IATA or ICAO code.
When to use it
Useful when you want to ask questions about a specific aircraft's activity, such as yearly flight counts, airports visited or countries flown to, or to find aircraft registered in a given country.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at flightdb.org over Streamable HTTP, added as a custom connector in an MCP client. Google OAuth sign-in is required; no API keys or environment variables are declared.
Before you install
Signing in with Google shares your Google identity with the service. Queries about aircraft and flights are sent to a third-party data provider that aggregates ADS-B Exchange and registry records.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open FlightDB in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.flightdb%2Fflightdb/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

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.
