If a tool disappears, we record the date.
faa
faa_airmen_check_medical_status
Read the FAA snapshot's informational medical class, medical dates, and BasicMed dates for one airman Unique ID. These fields are not authoritative medical certification or fitness determinations. Get the ID from a faa_airmen_verify_certificate, faa_airmen_search_instructors, or faa_airmen_verify_remote_pilot result. Every call is rejected while the operator's personal-data redaction is on (the default).
faa_airmen_get_type_ratings
Read one FAA airman's certificates from the FAA pilot file, by Unique ID: pilot, flight instructor, authorized aircraft instructor, remote pilot, and flight engineer, each with every aircraft type, category/class, and instrument rating. Ground instructor, mechanic, and other non-pilot certificates are excluded; faa_airmen_verify_certificate mode id returns every certificate. Get the ID from a faa_airmen_verify_certificate, faa_airmen_search_instructors, or faa_airmen_verify_remote_pilot result. Ratings retain their source certificate type and level and do not establish current operating privileges.
faa_airmen_list_reference
Read FAA certificate and rating codes, observed aircraft type designators, identity guidance, medical guidance, or local mirror status. Use these references to construct lookup filters and interpret snapshot limits. Static topics work before mirror initialization.
faa_airmen_search_instructors
Find releasable flight and ground instructor certificate records by name, state, and rating codes. Supply at least one name, state, city, ZIP, or rating filter. City and ZIP filters require operator-enabled location access. While the operator's personal-data redaction is on (the default), lastName and firstName are both required, nameMatch prefix and city or ZIP filters are rejected, and city and ZIP are withheld. Legacy expiry fields do not establish instructor currency; CFI certificates no longer expire under the December 2024 rule.
faa_airmen_verify_certificate
Find releasable FAA airman records by exact Unique ID or name and read their certificate records. Use name mode to discover IDs, then use an ID for ratings or informational medical fields. Certificate type, level, rating, and type-rating filters must all match one certificate, and each match still returns all its certificates. While the operator's personal-data redaction is on (the default), name mode needs lastName and firstName, nameMatch prefix and city or ZIP filters are rejected, and city and ZIP are withheld. A missing or matching record is not a current licensing or operating-privilege determination.
faa_airmen_verify_remote_pilot
Find releasable FAA remote pilot certificate records by Unique ID or name. While the operator's personal-data redaction is on (the default), name mode needs lastName and firstName, nameMatch prefix and city or ZIP filters are rejected, and city and ZIP are withheld. Results establish certificate presence in the local snapshot; they do not establish recurrent-training currency, commercial operating authority, or current Part 107 eligibility.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Faa Airmen Registry MCP Server working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 535 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Faa Airmen 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 Airmen Registry MCP Server need an API key?
No. Faa Airmen Registry MCP Server completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Faa Airmen Registry MCP Server?
It answers our handshake in 535 ms on average, which is faster than 22% 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 Airmen Registry MCP Server?
The npm package @cyanheads/faa-airmen-registry-mcp-server was installed 667 times in the last week. Week over week that is +926%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Faa Airmen Registry MCP Server open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 2 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at faa-airmen-registry.caseyjhand.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
