What is the Aviationstack MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent with the world's most comprehensive aviation intelligence via Aviationstack. This unified server provides your agent with instant access to real-time flight tracking, airport metadata, and airline schedules. Your agent can search for specific flights, audit airline routes, and retrieve detailed technical data for aircraft without you ever searching manually. Whether you are monitoring global airspace or planning complex travel logistics, your agent acts as a dedicated aviation analyst and flight coordinator through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Flight Tracking — Search for thousands of active and scheduled flights by airline, flight number, or status.
- Airport Intelligence — Fetch complete metadata for global airports, including IATA/ICAO codes and timezones.
- Route Auditing — Retrieve scheduled flight routes by specifying departure and arrival airport identifiers.

Frequently asked questions
Can I track a specific flight by its number?
Yes! Use the list_flights tool and provide the flight number in the flight_number parameter. Your agent will retrieve the real-time status and details for that specific flight.
How do I find the IATA code for a specific airport?
Use the list_airports tool and provide the airport name or city in the search parameter. The response will include the corresponding IATA and ICAO codes for all matching airports.
Does the integration provide technical aircraft specifications?
Absolutely. You can use the list_aircraft_types tool to retrieve a comprehensive list of specifications for various aircraft models used in the global fleet.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
