Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Curated set · 5 capabilities

We ship only the actions that matter.

Capability set01 / 02

01-03

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 5 available through FAA.

  1. 01

    Search notams

    Search Notice to Air Missions (NOTAMs) to find airport hazards or operational changes. This capability lets your agent find specific notices by location, date, or number.

  2. 02

    Get taf

    Get Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAF) to see predicted weather. This capability provides your agent with upcoming meteorological trends for specific locations.

  3. 03

    Get metar

    Get Meteorological Aerodrome Reports (METAR) for specific stations. Your agent uses this to check current wind, visibility, and sky conditions.

Capability set02 / 02

04-05

2 capabilities in this set.

Part of 5 available through FAA.

  1. 04

    List tfrs

    List active Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) to ensure airspace compliance. Your agent can filter these by state or type to find active restrictions.

  2. 05

    List uas facilities

    Get UAS Facility Maps (LAANC) to identify drone-friendly zones. It helps your agent find permitted operation areas based on geographic coordinates.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Pre-flight Planning

A pilot asks their agent to check the weather and NOTAMs for a specific destination airport.

02

Drone Site Survey

A drone operator verifies if a specific coordinate is within a permitted UAS facility map.

03

Safety Monitoring

An aviation developer builds a workflow that alerts them to new TFRs in a specific state.

04

Weather Briefing

A dispatcher requests a summary of METAR and TAF data for multiple stations at once.

Automate a task

Put FAA to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

FAA works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put FAA to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 5 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of FAA, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with FAA. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work FAA owners hand off.

This MCP is built for professionals who need to bridge the gap between official aviation data and their digital workflows.

  • 01

    Pilots

    They use the agent to quickly check NOTAMs and weather during pre-flight planning.

  • 02

    Drone Operators

    They rely on the agent to verify LAANC maps and local flight restrictions before takeoff.

  • 03

    Aviation Developers

    They integrate these FAA capabilities into agentic workflows for automated safety reporting.

  • 04

    Dispatchers

    They use the agent to monitor weather and airspace restrictions for fleet management.

FAQ

Questions FAA owners ask.

  • 01

    Do I need my own FAA API key?

    Yes, you will need to provide your own FAA API key to authenticate the connection.

  • 02

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

    This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

  • 03

    Can I use this for drone flight planning?

    Yes, you can use the list_uas_facilities capability to access LAANC facility maps for drone operations.

  • 04

    Is the weather data real-time?

    The MCP pulls real-time METAR and TAF reports directly from FAA data services.

  • 05

    How do I check for flight restrictions?

    You can ask your agent to list active TFRs or search for specific NOTAMs to find restrictions.

  • 06

    How can I check for Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs) in a specific state?

    You can use the list_tfrs capability 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.

  • 07

    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').

  • 08

    Does this capability help with drone flight planning?

    Absolutely. The list_uas_facilities capability provides geographic data for UAS facility maps (LAANC), showing where drone operations are permitted based on your coordinates.
