AeroDataBox MCP. Get live and historical aviation data streams.

AeroDataBox connects your AI client directly to global aviation data streams. You talk to your agent in plain English; it handles the heavy lifting, pulling real-time flight status, complex airport schedules, deep performance metrics, and detailed runway specs from around the world.

Current Flight Tracking & Real-Time Status

When you need to know where a plane is right now, your agent uses get_nearest_flight for immediate updates on the aircraft closest to your location based on a flight number. You can check the current status of any specific flight using get_flight_by_date, or get real-time delay statistics for every major global airport with get_global_delays.

If you're focused on one spot, get_airport_delays pulls statistical data showing what’s delayed right now at a single airport.

Airport Schedules and Logistics

Figuring out when things move through an airport is simple. You can retrieve full departure and arrival schedules using precise timestamps with get_fids_absolute, or you can just ask for flights happening in the next few hours; that's what get_fids_relative handles. If you need to know where you are relative to major airfields, run get_airports_by_ip and it points you to your closest options.

For calculating travel time between two spots, get_distance_time gives you the estimated distance in miles and the required flight time.

Deep Historical Analysis & Trends

Want to see patterns? You can pull a flight’s entire operational history and scheduled movements using get_flight_history, or check its historical punctuality record over time with get_flight_delays. To analyze delay trends, you've got options: use get_airport_delays_historical to see what happened on one specific day at an airport; scope out a whole week using get_airport_delays_period; or check global patterns over months with get_global_delays_historical.

You can also get frequency statistics for different flight paths in an area by calling get_airport_routes_stats.

Infrastructure and Fleet Data

Need the nuts and bolts of an airport? get_airport_runways gives you detailed physical specifications and operational data, including dimensions, for every runway at a specified location. If you want to see what kinds of planes are flying out of a specific airline, get_airline_fleet lists all active aircraft models operated by that company.

Managing Flight Alerts (Webhooks)

Keeping tabs on flights without constantly asking your agent is key. Your AI client handles webhooks for you. You can set up new alerts for specific flight criteria using create_flight_alert, or delete old ones with delete_alert_subscription. To see what alerts are running, use list_alert_subscriptions to display all active subscriptions; if you only need details on one, get_alert_subscription shows that status.

You can also check your credit balance using get_alert_balance, refill it with extra funds via refill_alert_balance, or update an old subscription format by running convert_alert_subscription.

Core Functionality Summary

Your agent handles everything from getting the full list of active aircraft models for a given airline (get_airline_fleet) to checking historical delay data across multiple periods. It provides complete coverage, making sure you get reliable numbers whether you're tracking global movement or just planning a local trip.
