Adsb Overview

Adsb MCP server connects MCP clients to the Pipeworx gateway for live aircraft data from community ADS-B tracking. Its tools locate aircraft near coordinates, identify a transmitting airframe by ICAO hex address or callsign, and list tracked military or government aircraft. Use it for current position questions rather than flight schedules or historical tracking. It is available as a hosted MCP endpoint, an npm stdio bridge, or direct HTTP tool calls.

Primary Use Cases for Adsb:
  • Find aircraft flying near a latitude and longitude
  • Track an airframe by its ICAO hex address
  • Locate a flight by its live callsign
  • Monitor currently transmitting military and government aircraft
