An MCP server that gives AI assistants structured access to flight, airport,
airline, aircraft, route, tax, and other aviation reference data from the
[Aviationstack API](https://aviationstack.com/).

## Features

- Search current and historical flight records.
- Search airports and airlines.
- Retrieve airport arrival and departure schedules.
- Browse aircraft types, airplanes, countries, and cities.
- Search routes and aviation taxes.
- Expose planning prompts and machine-readable MCP resources.
- Validate query input with typed Pydantic models.
- Return safe MCP-facing errors without leaking internal details.

## Requirements

- Python 3.13 or newer for local development.
- An Aviationstack API key for live requests.
- An MCP-compatible client, such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or another MCP host.

## Installation

Run directly with `uvx`:

```bash
uvx aviationstack-mcp-server
```

Set your Aviationstack API key in the environment:

```bash
export AVIATIONSTACK_API_KEY="your-api-key"
```

The server reads the key when it starts. It does not require a local checkout
or a manually managed virtual environment for normal MCP client use.

## Configuration

The required setting is:

| Environment variable | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `AVIATIONSTACK_API_KEY` | Yes | None | API key used for Aviationstack requests. |
