About OpenSky Network MCP Server
Connect OpenSky Network to any AI agent and access global, open-source air traffic data -- track aircraft in real-time, view historical flights, and monitor airport activity through natural conversation.
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and OpenSky Network tool infrastructure. Connect 8 tools through Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution. deployable to any Node.js host in one command.
What you can do
- Real-Time Tracking -- Get the current state of all tracked aircraft including altitude, velocity, and location
- Airport Monitoring -- View recent arrivals and departures for any ICAO airport code
- Aircraft History -- Retrieve recent flight history and tracks for specific aircraft by ICAO24 hex code
- Flight Intervals -- Get all flights that occurred within a specific time window
- Account Tracking -- Monitor your own registered aircraft (requires authentication)
The OpenSky Network MCP Server exposes 8 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Mastra AI in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
