Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Faa Aircraft Registry MCP Server every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

faa
faa_get_aircraft_type
Decode a 6–7-character FAA manufacturer/model/series code to aircraft specifications — manufacturer, model, aircraft category, aircraft type, engine type, number of engines, number of seats, weight class, cruise speed, and type-certificate data sheet/holder. Use faa_search_aircraft_types first to discover a code by manufacturer or model name.
faa_get_registration_status
Resolve whether a US civil aircraft N-number is active, deregistered, reserved, or unknown, including the available registration and airworthiness status. Use this rather than faa_lookup_registration when a number may be inactive. A number that was never issued returns recordType "unknown" — a valid, informative answer, not an error. Accepts "N12345" or "12345".
faa_lookup_registration
Decode one US civil aircraft N-number to its full registration record — aircraft make/model, engine, year manufactured, airworthiness, registration status, Mode S (ICAO 24-bit) code, and registered owner (when owner-PII redaction is off). Accepts "N12345" or "12345" (the leading N is optional). Returns ownerRedacted: true when owner details were withheld. A number that is known but inactive (deregistered or reserved) is not found here — use faa_get_registration_status for its current state.
faa_search_aircraft_types
Search FAA aircraft types by manufacturer/model name, aircraft type code, or category code to discover 6–7-character manufacturer/model/series codes and browse specifications. Pass a code to faa_get_aircraft_type for specs or faa_search_registrations as manufacturerModelCode for exact registration matches, then faa_lookup_registration for details. At least one filter is required. Every response reports totalCount (all matches, not just this page); when more remain, it returns nextOffset — pass it back as offset to page forward.
faa_search_registrations
Search active US civil aircraft registrations by owner name, make/model, exact manufacturerModelCode, state, aircraft type, or Mode S (hex) code. Discover codes with faa_search_aircraft_types, search registrations by manufacturerModelCode, then drill into N-numbers via faa_lookup_registration. Filters are AND-combined; at least one is required. Owner-name search is unavailable when this deployment redacts owner PII — use the other filters instead. Every response reports totalCount (all matches, not just this page); when more remain, it returns nextOffset — pass it back as offset to page forward.

Faa Aircraft Registry MCP Server — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Faa Aircraft Registry MCP Server do?
It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: faa_get_aircraft_type, faa_get_registration_status, faa_lookup_registration, faa_search_aircraft_types, faa_search_registrations. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Faa Aircraft Registry MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 586 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Faa Aircraft Registry MCP Server?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Faa Aircraft Registry MCP Server need an API key?
No. Faa Aircraft Registry MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Faa Aircraft Registry MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 586 ms on average, which is faster than 18% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Faa Aircraft Registry MCP Server?
The npm package @cyanheads/faa-aircraft-registry-mcp-server was installed 100 times in the last week. Week over week that is -56%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Faa Aircraft Registry MCP Server open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 4 stars on GitHub and 10 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at faa-aircraft-registry.caseyjhand.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
