Connect it
This runs as an Apify Standby Actor that speaks MCP over Streamable HTTP. Add it to your client config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"aviation": {
"url": "https://renzomacar--aviation-mcp.apify.actor/mcp?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"
}
}
}
Get a free Apify token at console.apify.com/account/integrations. Legacy SSE clients can use /sse instead of /mcp.
Pricing
Pay-per-use: a small charge per tool call (no subscription, no minimum). You only pay for the data your agent actually pulls.
Data & attribution
All data comes from the free Rotate Pilot aviation API (docs · OpenAPI spec), built by a commercial pilot. Weather is live; airport/aircraft/glossary data is curated reference data.
