MCP Server

Aviation data,
native to your AI.

Plug live SkyLink aviation data straight into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client - every endpoint becomes a tool the model can call, with no glue code and no scraping.

What you get

Your AI, plugged into the sky

One config block connects your MCP client to SkyLink - then the model can pull weather, airports, ADS-B, charts, and more, just by asking.

Connect in one config

Add one server block - works with any MCP-compatible client.

Ask in plain language

The model picks the right tool and calls it for you.

Every endpoint, a tool

The toolbox

The whole API, as callable tools. A sample of what the model can reach.

Start free - 1,000 requests/month.

Add your API key to the config and your AI is connected - works on the free tier.

Capabilities

Built for agents

A hosted bridge between your AI client and the full SkyLink v3.1 API - no servers to run, no integration code to write.

Works with any MCP client

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, or anything that speaks the Model Context Protocol - paste one config block and you're connected.

Every endpoint as a tool

Weather, airports, ADS-B, charts, flight status, carbon, ML estimates - the whole v3.1 surface is exposed as tools the model can invoke.

Zero glue code

No SDK wiring, no request plumbing, no response parsing. The MCP layer handles tool schemas and calls - you just describe what you want.

Fully hosted

The server is a streamable HTTP endpoint we run - no self-hosting, no bridge process, no infrastructure to maintain. Point your client at the URL and go.

Natural-language queries

Ask in plain English - the model chooses the right endpoint, fills in the parameters, and grounds its answer in live SkyLink data.

Secure key handling

Your API key lives in the client's config header - sent as a transport header, never embedded in prompts or exposed to the model.

Setup

Add the server in one config

Paste one block into your MCP client's config, swap in your API key, and restart. The server is a hosted HTTP endpoint - nothing to run yourself.

In practice

Then just ask

Once connected, your AI reaches for SkyLink tools on its own - picking the right endpoint, filling in parameters, and grounding its answer in live data.

No prompt engineering for API calls, no copy-pasting JSON. Just a question and a grounded answer.

MCP Documentation
Claude · SkyLink MCP connectedLive tools
Is EGLL good for a CAT III approach right now, and what's the great-circle distance to KJFK?
weather.metar(EGLL)notams(EGLL)distance(EGLL, KJFK)
EGLL is reporting 200 m RVR in fog - within CAT III minima, but one NOTAM has ILS CAT III RWY 09L U/S, so use 27R. Great-circle distance to KJFK is 3,008 nm on a 288° initial bearing.
