# Netrows MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Netrows lets you turn your AI agent into a real-time aviation analyst. You can search for active flights, monitor live aircraft positions, and pull deep data on airport operations or airline fleets. It pulls directly from the Netrows Aviation API to give you ground truth on global flight activity without you having to manually dig through data feeds or flight tracking websites. ## Overview - **Category:** data-analytics - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_IlsV2Ng9QlKiYFlYlh8KRYpNdmmGy7MCRxMlvzMo/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** flight-tracking, aircraft-intelligence, airport-data, real-time-data, aviation-api ## Description Connect your Netrows Aviation API to your AI agent to handle real-time flight monitoring and aircraft intelligence through natural conversation. This Connector lets you pull deep data on airport operations, airline schedules, and fleet compositions without having to manually dig through aviation feeds or navigate complex websites. It handles the heavy lifting of querying aviation databases so you can focus on the actual analysis. Whether you're trying to map out a competitor's route network or just want to know which gates are busy at a specific hub, the data shows up exactly how you need it. You can even keep an eye on your API credit usage to make sure your projects stay on budget. It's a massive upgrade for anyone who deals with aviation data regularly and wants to move faster. You'll find this is a core part of the Vinkius catalog for anyone serious about aviation intelligence. Instead of jumping between different trackers to find a tail number or checking a static list for airport codes, you can just ask your agent to do it for you. This means you get to spend your time on high-level planning while the agent handles the tedious task of fetching coordinates, altitude, and speed. It makes the difference between staring at a spreadsheet and actually understanding the flow of global air traffic. ## Tools ### get_account_usage Check your remaining API credits and monitor your monthly spending. ### get_aircraft_info Get registration details, owner info, and engine types for a specific tail number. ### get_airport_info Get static data like coordinates, timezones, and ICAO codes for any airport. ### get_flight_details Get gate assignments, terminal info, and live coordinates for a specific flight. ### search_aircraft Find every aircraft registered to a specific airline or aviation company. ### search_airports Find all airports serving a specific city or metropolitan area. ### get_flight_schedule Pull the full schedule of flights between two specific airports. ### search_flights Search for active flights using a flight number, callsign, or route. ### track_flight Get timestamped position data to see a flight's trajectory on a map. ### get_airline_flights List all active flights currently being operated by a specific airline. ### get_airport_flights See all arriving and departing flights at a specific airport right now. ### get_airline_info Pull metadata like IATA codes, hub airports, and fleet size for any airline. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` What flights are currently landing at JFK? ``` **Response:** ``` ### Live Activity at JFK | Airline | Flight # | Status | Gate | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Delta** | DL452 | **Landed** | B12 | | **United** | UA1102 | **Inbound** | C4 | | **American** | AA993 | **Delayed** | A15 | *Total of 42 flights currently arriving or departing.* ``` **Prompt:** ``` Tell me about the aircraft with tail number N12345. ``` **Response:** ``` ### Aircraft Profile: N12345 * **Type:** Boeing 737-800 * **Owner/Operator:** United Airlines * **Year Built:** 2018 * **Engine Type:** Jet * **Status:** Active This aircraft is currently in the commercial airline category and is actively operating domestic routes. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Find all airports in Chicago. ``` **Response:** ``` ### Airports Serving Chicago * **O'Hare International (ORD)** - Primary hub * **Midway International (MDW)** - Secondary hub * **Chicago Executive (CYI)** - General aviation * **DuPage County (KCYI)** - Regional Would you like to see the flight activity for any of these specific locations? ``` ## Capabilities ### Track live aircraft positions Get real-time coordinates and speed for airborne flights. ### Pull aircraft registration details Retrieve owner info, engine types, and year built for any tail number. ### Monitor airport flight activity See a live feed of all arrivals and departures at any global airport. ### Retrieve airline fleet data List every aircraft currently operated by a specific carrier. ### Search for specific flight numbers Find active or recent flights using callsigns or route pairs. ### Get airport static metadata Pull ICAO codes, timezones, and geographic coordinates for airports. ## Use Cases ### The Late Night Dispatcher An operator needs to know if a flight is delayed. They ask the agent for the status of a specific flight number, and it returns the gate and current delay. ### The Competitive Analyst A researcher wants to see how many planes a rival airline has. They use the agent to list all active flights for that airline. ### The Travel Planner Someone wants to know which airports serve London. They ask for the list and see the total daily flight volume for each. ### The Aviation Hobbyist A user wants to know who owns a specific tail number. They ask for the aircraft info and get the owner and year built. ## Benefits - Get instant flight status updates without manual searching using get_flight_details. - Map out entire airline networks by pulling fleet data with search_aircraft. - Identify all regional airports for a city quickly with search_airports. - Monitor live airport traffic patterns using get_airport_flights to manage ground handling. - Analyze competitor route frequency by pulling schedules with get_flight_schedule. - Keep your API costs under control by checking your balance with get_account_usage. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get real-time aviation data via natural conversation instead of manual API calls. 1. Subscribe to the Netrows MCP on Vinkius. 2. Add your Netrows API key from the developer portal. 3. Ask your agent to find flights or aircraft data. ## Frequently Asked Questions **Can I use Netrows MCP to track live flights?** Yes, this Connector provides real-time coordinates, altitude, and speed for active flights, letting you see exactly where an aircraft is in the sky. **Does the Netrows MCP work for all airlines?** Yes, it provides global coverage for tracking airline flights, schedules, and fleet information across various carriers. **How do I see my API usage with Netrows MCP?** You can ask your agent to check your account usage. It will return your remaining credits and help you monitor your monthly spending. **Can I find out who owns a specific plane?** Yes, by using the aircraft registry features, you can pull ownership details, registration status, and other specifications for specific tail numbers. **Can I get flight schedules for specific routes?** Yes, you can request the full schedule of flights between any two airports to help with route planning or market research. **Can my AI track a specific flight in real-time and show me its current position, altitude, and speed?** Yes! Use the `search_flights` tool with the flight number (e.g., "UAL123") to find the active flight, then use `track_flight` with the flight ID to get real-time position coordinates (latitude, longitude), altitude in feet, ground speed in knots, heading direction, and vertical speed. Your AI agent will respond with the exact location of the aircraft and its current flight parameters. Perfect for passenger pickup coordination and live flight monitoring. **How do I find all flights departing from or arriving at a specific airport?** Simply ask the agent to run the `get_airport_flights` action with the airport IATA or ICAO code (e.g., "JFK" or "KJFK" for New York JFK). It will return all arriving and departing flights with airline, flight number, aircraft type, origin/destination, scheduled and actual times, and current status. You can also use `search_airports` first to find the correct airport code if you only know the city name. **Can I look up information about a specific aircraft by its tail number or registration?** Absolutely! Use the `get_aircraft_info` tool with the aircraft registration/tail number (e.g., "N12345" for US, "G-EUUU" for UK, "D-AIMA" for Germany). Your AI will return the aircraft manufacturer and model, registration country, owner/operator, year built, engine type, number of engines, aircraft age, and category (airline, business jet, private, cargo). You can also use `search_aircraft` with an operator name to see their entire fleet.
