Track flights, read airport boards, look up operators and aircraft, fetch scheduled flights, and manage flight alerts, all over stdio.\n\n\u003e Developed and maintained by AI (Claude Code). Use at your own discretion.\n\n## Quick start\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"flightaware\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\"-y\", \"@chrischall/flightaware-mcp\"],\n      \"env\": { \"AEROAPI_API_KEY\": \"your-aeroapi-key-here\" }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\nGet a key at [flightaware.com/aeroapi/portal](https://www.flightaware.com/aeroapi/portal/). The free **Personal** tier (500 calls/month) is enough to start; AeroAPI bills per query.\n\n## Tools\n\n| Area | Tools |\n| --- | --- |\n| 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` |\n| 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_weather`, `fa_resolve_airport` |\n| Operators / aircraft | `fa_get_operator`, `fa_get_operator_flights`, `fa_list_operators`, `fa_get_aircraft_owner` |\n| Schedules / predictive | `fa_get_scheduled_flights`, `fa_foresight_search` (premium tier) |\n| Alerts | `fa_list_alerts`, `fa_get_alert`, `fa_create_alert`, `fa_update_alert`, `fa_delete_alert`, `fa_get_alerts_endpoint`, `fa_set_alerts_endpoint` |\n\nAlert mutations are **confirm-gated**: without `confirm: true` they return a dry-run preview and make no network call.\n\n## Configuration\n\n| Var | Required | Purpose |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| `AEROAPI_API_KEY` | yes | Your AeroAPI key (sent as the `x-apikey` header). |\n| `AEROAPI_OUTPUT_DIR` | no | Default directory for flight-map PNGs (default: cwd). |\n| `AEROAPI_CACHE_TTL` | no | Seconds to cache identical **live-data** GET responses (default: 15; `0` disables). Cuts AeroAPI per-query billing. |\n| `AEROAPI_STATIC_CACHE_TTL` | no | Longer TTL for **reference data** — airport/operator info, routes, ownership, canonical lookups (default: 3600; `0` disables). |\n\n## Development\n\n```bash\nnpm install\nnpm run build\nnpm test\n```\n\nEvery request rides your own AeroAPI key and counts against your subscription quota.
