OpenSky MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Access real-time and historical global flight tracking data — monitor aircraft states, flight trajectories, and airport traffic directly from your AI agent.

6 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect to the OpenSky Network to integrate comprehensive aviation intelligence into your AI workflows. This server provides access to a massive crowdsourced dataset of flight tracking data, allowing for deep analysis of global air traffic.

What you can do

  • Real-time Tracking — Fetch live state vectors (position, velocity, altitude) for aircraft globally or within specific geographic boundaries.
  • Historical Flight Data — Retrieve detailed flight logs for specific aircraft (ICAO24) or entire time intervals to analyze past movements.
  • Airport Operations — Monitor arrivals and departures for any airport using ICAO codes to understand traffic flow and scheduling.
  • Trajectory Analysis — Extract the precise track and path of a specific flight to visualize or analyze its route.
  • Global Overview — Query all historical flights occurring within a specific window for large-scale data analysis.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. (Optional) Enter your OpenSky Network credentials for higher rate limits
  3. Start querying live aviation data from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • Data Analysts — Perform large-scale aviation research and trend analysis using historical flight data.
  • Logistics & Supply Chain — Monitor cargo flight movements and airport congestion in real-time.
  • Aviation Enthusiasts — Track specific aircraft or monitor local airspace through natural language commands.

get_states

Can be filtered by time, specific aircraft (icao24), or a geographic bounding box. Retrieve real-time aircraft state vectors

get_tracks

Retrieve the trajectory of a specific flight

Get the current state vectors for aircraft with ICAO24 'a80c3b'.

I've retrieved the state for aircraft a80c3b. It is currently at an altitude of 35,000ft, traveling at 450 knots, with a heading of 270 degrees.

List all flights departing from Paris Charles de Gaulle (LFPG) in the last 2 hours.

I found 12 departures from LFPG in that interval. Notable flights include AF123 to New York and LH456 to Frankfurt. Would you like details on a specific flight?

Show me the trajectory of aircraft '4b1813' for its most recent flight.

Fetching the track data for 4b1813... I have retrieved 150 trajectory points showing the climb, cruise, and descent phases of the flight. The path started at Zurich (LSZH) and ended at London (EGLL).

Use the `get_states` tool and provide the geographic bounding box using `lamin`, `lomin`, `lamax`, and `lomax` parameters. The agent will return all active aircraft within those coordinates.
