A side-by-side look at the Aviation MCP and Vedar — Kamchatka travel MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Aviation MCP for travel & transportation work as a local process; choose Vedar — Kamchatka travel for travel & transportation over a hosted endpoint. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
get_metar, get_airport, get_aircraft.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.
