# Waypoint Leg Logistics Calculator for flight planning. AI Agent Connect > Waypoint Leg Logistics Calculator handles the heavy math for flight segments and full mission profiles. Your AI client uses this MCP to determine exact distances, bearings, and fuel requirements while accounting for wind vectors. It ensures your geographic data is valid and provides the necessary wind correction angles for accurate ground speed calculations. ## Overview - **Category:** logistics - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_vK6CiuDwk8ZafOG5oxlVEReiqoOsvNjPV1cI45vN/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** flight-planning, navigation, geospatial, fuel-calculation, wind-correction ## Description You can use this MCP to handle the complex trigonometry and physics required for flight planning. Instead of manually calculating headings or fuel burn, you give your AI client the coordinates and wind data, and it handles the rest. It works by processing individual segments or aggregating an entire sequence of waypoints into a single mission profile. If you're planning a long-range flight, the MCP calculates the total distance and fuel needed across all legs. It also accounts for wind by calculating correction angles and ground speed effects, so you aren't flying blind to headwind or tailwind shifts. You can also run a quick check on your coordinates to make sure they fall within global bounds before you start building a route. It's a specialized math engine that turns raw coordinates into actionable flight data. ## Tools ### calculate_leg_metrics This tool computes specific flight characteristics for a single segment between two points. It calculates distance, bearing, and fuel requirements for one leg at a time. ### calculate_route_totals This tool aggregates data for a full sequence of waypoints. It provides the total mission profile, including cumulative distance and fuel consumption. ### get_wind_correction_data This tool calculates wind correction angles and their impact on ground speed. It helps your agent adjust headings based on specific wind vectors. ### validate_coordinates This tool checks if geographic coordinates are within valid global bounds. It prevents errors by ensuring your latitude and longitude data is physically possible. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Calculate the metrics for a leg from latitude 34.05 and longitude -118.24 to latitude 40.71 and longitude -74.00 with a true airspeed of 450 knots and wind from 270 degrees at 20 knots. ``` **Response:** ``` The leg distance is 2,475.5 Nautical Miles, the true bearing is 66.2 degrees, and the required heading is 72.4 degrees. The ground speed is 431.2 knots, the leg time is 344.5 minutes, and the fuel consumed is 2,583.8 units. ``` **Prompt:** ``` What is the total distance and fuel for a route through these waypoints: [{"latitude": 34.05, "longitude": -118.24}, {"latitude": 40.71, "longitude": -74.00}, {"latitude": 51.50, "longitude": -0.12}] with airspeed 400 and fuel burn 120/hr? ``` **Response:** ``` The total mission distance is 5,582.3 Nautical Miles, the total time is 837.3 minutes, and the total fuel consumed is 16,746.0 units across 2 legs. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Check if the coordinates latitude 105.0 and longitude 20.0 are valid. ``` **Response:** ``` The coordinates are invalid. Latitude exceeds 90 degrees. ``` ## Capabilities ### Leg-level math The agent calculates distance, bearing, and fuel for a single flight segment. ### Mission aggregation The agent sums up distance and fuel for a series of waypoints. ### Wind compensation The agent determines wind correction angles and ground speed adjustments. ### Coordinate validation The agent verifies that latitude and longitude inputs are within global limits. ## Use Cases ### Route Planning You provide a list of waypoints and the agent calculates the total fuel and distance for the entire trip. ### Wind Adjustment You input wind vectors to find the exact heading needed to maintain a specific track. ### Data Integrity Checks You use the validation tool to ensure your coordinate sets are accurate before running complex calculations. ### Single Leg Analysis You calculate the specific time and fuel requirements for one segment of a larger flight. ## Benefits - Calculates wind correction angles to adjust for ground speed changes. - Aggregates multiple waypoints into a single mission profile. - Validates geographic coordinates to prevent input errors. - Computes fuel consumption based on specific burn rates and flight time. ## How It Works Connecting this MCP to your AI client gives it immediate access to flight math tools. 1. Connect the MCP to your client like Claude or Cursor via Vinkius. 2. Provide the agent with coordinates, airspeed, and wind data. 3. The agent calls the specific tool needed for the calculation. 4. The agent returns the distance, fuel, or heading data to your chat interface. ## Frequently Asked Questions **What can this MCP calculate?** It calculates flight leg distances, bearings, fuel consumption, wind correction angles, and ground speed. It can also aggregate these metrics for entire routes. **How do I use this with Claude?** You connect to the MCP through the Vinkius platform. Once connected, your Claude client can automatically invoke the tools when you ask for flight calculations. **Does it account for wind?** Yes. The tool includes specific functionality to calculate wind correction angles and how wind affects your ground speed. **Can it check if my coordinates are correct?** Yes. The validate_coordinates tool checks if your latitude and longitude are within valid global bounds. **Is it possible to calculate a whole trip at once?** Yes. You can use the calculate_route_totals tool to get the total distance, time, and fuel for a full sequence of waypoints. **How do I calculate the total fuel for a multi-stop flight?** You can use the `calculate_route_totals` tool by providing the full sequence of waypoints as a JSON array. It will return the cumulative fuel consumed for the entire mission. **Can this tool account for wind effects?** Yes. You can provide wind direction and speed to `calculate_leg_metrics` or `calculate_route_totals` to adjust for ground speed and heading. For specific wind math, use `get_wind_correction_data`. **What happens if I provide invalid coordinates?** The `validate_coordinates` tool will check if the latitude and longitude are within global bounds and return a warning if they are invalid.
