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.

One connector, every AI

FlightStats 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 FlightStats 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.

Preview access · not provider authentication

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

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

FAQ

Questions FlightStats owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I connect this MCP to my AI client?

    You subscribe to the MCP through Vinkius and enter your FlightStats credentials. Once connected, you can use it immediately in any MCP-compatible client like Claude or Cursor.

  • 02

    What kind of flight data can my agent access?

    Your agent can access real-time flight status, live positional tracking (speed, altitude, coordinates), airport FIDS data, and historical flight records.

  • 03

    Can I track flights that have already landed?

    Yes, you can retrieve flight status for flights that arrived up to 7 days ago.

  • 04

    Does this MCP provide weather information?

    Yes, you can use the get_weather capability to retrieve METAR and TAF weather data for specific airports.

  • 05

    Can I set up notifications for flight changes?

    Yes, you can create alert rules for single flights or for all flights arriving at a specific airport.

  • 06

    How do I check the live status of a specific flight?

    You can use the get_flight_status capability by providing the carrier code, flight number, and departure date. The agent will return real-time gate, delay, and timing information.

  • 07

    Can I see which flights are currently departing from a specific airport?

    Yes, use the get_airport_status capability. Specify the airport code (e.g., 'LAX'), set the direction to 'dep' (departures), and provide the date and hour to get a complete list of scheduled and active departures.

  • 08

    Is it possible to track flights flying over my current location?

    Absolutely. By using the get_flights_near capability with your latitude, longitude, and a search radius in miles, your agent will list all active flights currently in that airspace.
