Perplexity

Spot severe hazards with local SIGMET alerts

`get_sigmet` pulls active hazardous weather warnings like severe turbulence or icing directly into your desktop workspace. Claude Desktop runs this tool locally via your config file, letting you immediately flag dangerous conditions on your route. You get instant access to critical airspace warnings without opening a browser. The tool feeds raw hazard coordinates and severe weather types straight to your chat window.

Fetch METARs and TAFs using Claude Desktop

`get_metar` pulls current airport observations while `get_taf` handles the 24-hour terminal forecasts for any global ICAO code. Your local Claude Desktop client executes these calls via an MCP connection, letting you instantly contrast current runway winds against the afternoon forecast. If you need historical trends, you can request past hours of METAR data to see if a front is moving faster than expected. This makes it simple to verify if an airport is dropping below minimums before you even draft a flight plan.

Map weather stations and pilot reports locally

`get_aviation_station` resolves ICAO codes to exact coordinates while `get_pirep` pulls real-time pilot reports of turbulence and icing. Claude Desktop coordinates these tools to build a geographic picture of actual flight conditions. Instead of relying on automated models, you read what actual pilots are experiencing at specific altitudes. Your local agent parses these reports to help you decide if a route is safe.
