What is the IATA Developer Portal MCP Server?
Empower your AI agent to orchestrate your entire aviation research and logistics auditing workflow with the IATA Developer Portal, the official source for global aviation standards. By connecting IATA's reference data to your agent, you transform complex industry searches into a natural conversation. Your agent can instantly search for airport codes, audit airline identifiers, and retrieve aircraft metadata without you ever touching a technical manual. Whether you are conducting logistics research or building travel applications, your agent acts as a real-time aviation consultant, ensuring your data is always grounded in official, IATA-verified standards.
What you can do
- Airport Auditing — Search for global airports by IATA code and retrieve detailed metadata, including names and geographic locations.
- Airline Oversight — Audit airline identifiers and codes to maintain a clear view of carrier distribution and names.
- Aircraft Intelligence — Query aircraft types and codes to understand the technical equipment used in global logistics.
- City Discovery — Retrieve detailed city information associated with specific IATA codes to assist in geographic planning.
- Global Monitoring — List all supported countries in the IATA catalog to maintain strict organizational control over regional data.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my IATA API Key?
Log in to your IATA Developer portal, register for an API, and you will find your API Key in your subscription details. Copy and paste it below.
What codes are supported for search?
You can search for 3-letter airport codes (e.g., LHR), 2-letter airline codes (e.g., BA), and IATA aircraft codes (e.g., 744).
Is geographic location data included?
Yes. The search_airports and get_city_details tools include geographic metadata such as latitude and longitude where available.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
