What is the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) MCP Server?
Connect your AI agent to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) data services to retrieve critical flight safety and weather information through natural language.
What you can do
- NOTAM Search — Retrieve Notice to Air Missions (NOTAMs) by location, number, or date to stay informed about airport conditions and hazards.
- Flight Restrictions — List active Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) by state or type to ensure compliance with airspace regulations.
- UAS & Drone Safety — Access UAS Facility Maps (LAANC) to identify permitted drone operation areas based on geographic coordinates.
- Aviation Weather — Fetch real-time Meteorological Aerodrome Reports (METAR) and Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAF) for specific stations.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your FAA API Key
- Query aviation safety and weather data directly from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- Pilots & Dispatchers — Quickly check NOTAMs and weather forecasts during pre-flight planning without leaving your workflow.
- Drone Operators — Verify LAANC facility maps and local flight restrictions before takeoff.
- Aviation Developers — Integrate official FAA data into your agentic workflows for safety analysis and reporting.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 5 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) for Cursor
Every tool call from Cursor to the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How can I check for Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) in a specific state?
You can use the list_tfrs tool and provide the two-letter state code (e.g., 'CA' for California). The agent will return a list of all active restrictions and their types.
Can I get both current weather and forecasts for an airport?
Yes. Use get_metar for real-time reports and get_taf for terminal forecasts by providing the ICAO station code (e.g., 'KJFK').
Does this tool help with drone flight planning?
Absolutely. The list_uas_facilities tool provides geographic data for UAS facility maps (LAANC), showing where drone operations are permitted based on your coordinates.
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.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
