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.

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.

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

OpenSky Network 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 OpenSky Network 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.

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 6 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 OpenSky Network, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

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

  • 01

    Data Analysts

    They use the historical data to run large-scale aviation research and trend studies.

  • 02

    Logistics Managers

    They monitor cargo flight movements and airport congestion to manage supply chains.

FAQ

Questions OpenSky Network owners ask.

  • 01

    How do I get higher rate limits for OpenSky?

    You can enter your own OpenSky Network credentials within the MCP settings to increase your access limits.

  • 02

    Can I track a specific plane?

    Yes, you can use the ICAO24 ID of an aircraft to pull its real-time state or its historical flight logs.

  • 03

    What kind of real-time data is available?

    You can get state vectors that include the position, velocity, and altitude of aircraft.

  • 04

    Which AI clients can use this MCP?

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

  • 05

    Can I look at airport traffic?

    Yes, you can use ICAO codes to retrieve historical arrivals or departures for any airport.

  • 06

    How can I see all planes currently flying over a specific area?

    Use the get_states capability and provide the geographic bounding box using lamin, lomin, lamax, and lomax parameters. The agent will return all active aircraft within those coordinates.

  • 07

    Can I track the exact path a flight took yesterday?

    Yes. First, identify the aircraft's ICAO24 address, then use the get_tracks capability with the specific timestamp to retrieve the full trajectory points of that flight.

  • 08

    Is it possible to list all flights that arrived at London Heathrow (EGLL) today?

    Absolutely. Use the get_flights_by_arrival capability, entering 'EGLL' as the airport and providing the Unix timestamps for the start and end of the day.
