Aviation MCP ✈️

The Aviation MCP brings real-world and simulation pilots a wealth of flight-related data at their fingertips.
Originally designed for VATSIM and flight sim communities, this API provides everything from airport details to updated charts, routes, weather data, and even online traffic status.
While it can technically be used for real-world applications, it’s recommended for simulation purposes only—use at your own risk.

💡 Why use XPack with AviationAPI?

Thanks to XPack, you don’t need to wrestle with raw OpenAPI docs.
With just a config, you can instantly convert AviationAPI into an MCP service:

• Plug it into any AI agent or chatbot (e.g., “Show me the latest JFK METAR” → it just works).
• Auto-generate endpoints for flight planning or sim assistant bots.
• Monetize your MCP version of AviationAPI if you want, directly from XPack’s open-source marketplace.

👉 If you have your own aviation or simulation data API, you can also publish it through XPack and let AI agents around the world use it.
