Real-time flight tracking in Claude Desktop

Use the `track_flight` and `search_flights` tools to pull live position data directly into your chat. You get current altitude, speed, and status updates without leaving the app. This MCP Server provides the raw telemetry you need for accurate logistics. Claude Desktop parses the response so you can see exactly where a flight is right now.

Query Netrows aviation data locally

Access the full `get_airport_info` and `get_airline_info` databases to pull metadata for your projects. This allows you to verify ICAO codes and hub locations without manual lookups. Running this as a local subprocess ensures your queries stay fast. You get the specific details you need to build flight-aware applications or research fleet stats.

Manage your Netrows credit usage

Run `get_account_usage` to keep an eye on your API consumption. It shows you exactly how many credits you have left before you trigger large batch requests. Monitoring your balance in Claude Desktop helps you avoid hitting rate limits. It keeps your development workflow predictable and within budget.
