Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check faa-traffic-delays-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.

Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

faa
faa_delays_get_advisory
Get the full text of one ATCSCC advisory by its number and UTC date. faa_delays_list_advisories lists the advisories issued on a date with their numbers, and the advisory reference that faa_delays_list_active_events and faa_delays_get_airport_status return on program rows and faa_delays_get_operations_plan returns for the plan names one directly. Advisory text carries what the status feed omits: program rate by hour, delay assignment mode, scope, comments, and the operations plan's active constraints and runway closures. Advisory numbers restart at 1 each UTC day, and older advisories remain available.
faa_delays_get_airport_status
Get the current FAA traffic management status for one or more US airports: a headline status, every active event (ground stop, Ground Delay Program with its delay profile, arrival or departure delay, closure, deicing) with reason and times, and the runway configuration and airport arrival rate. Every row carries the airport's ARTCC, and its coordinates come from the feed when the airport is listed (absent when the feed omits them) and from the NASR directory otherwise; both place a departure airport against a program's includedFacilities and departureScopeNm. Airports are FAA 3-character identifiers (SEA, ORD, JFK) or their ICAO codes (KSEA, PHNL); a code that names no US airport is rejected. The FAA feed lists only airports with an active event, so a known airport absent from it returns status no_active_events, and runway configuration is available only for listed airports.
faa_delays_get_operations_plan
Get the FAA Command Center's current operations plan: terminal programs (possible ground stops and delay programs by airport) and en-route initiatives (route closures, severe-weather avoidance plans) expected later in the day, each with its planned UTC time and stated likelihood, plus current ATCSCC announcements. The advisory reference opens the full plan text with faa_delays_get_advisory, including active constraints and runway closures this summary omits.
faa_delays_list_active_events
List every active FAA traffic management event across the National Airspace System in one call: ground stops, Ground Delay Programs, Airspace Flow Programs, arrival and departure delays, airport closures, closure NOTAMs, and deicing. Rows are sorted by severity (closures, ground stops, then GDPs and then AFPs each by average delay, arrival/departure delays by band maximum, closure NOTAMs, deicing) and carry the reason, delay figures, times, and an advisory reference for faa_delays_get_advisory. Use faa_delays_get_airport_status for the full detail of one airport, including its GDP delay profile and runway configuration.
faa_delays_list_advisories
List the ATCSCC advisories issued on one UTC date, newest first, from the FAA advisories database's per-date index: ground stops and delay programs as issued, proposed, revised, and canceled, required reroutes, flow constrained areas, operations plans, and CDM compression advisories, including those no longer active and those on past dates, which the NAS Status feed does not carry. Each row gives the advisory number, control element, subject, any further title lines (a reroute's name, constrained area, and valid period), and send time; its number and date open the full text with faa_delays_get_advisory. Narrow by categories, control_element (an airport, its ICAO code, an ARTCC, or DCC for national advisories), or query (literal case-insensitive subject/details text, such as an FCA name); filters combine before limit and offset paging.
faa_delays_list_reference
Decode the vocabulary the other faa_delays tools return: event types and their fields, traffic-management terms (AAR, EDCT, FCA, GDP, SWAP), ARTCC center codes, the FAA pacing airports with time zones, and accepted identifier formats.

faa-traffic-delays-mcp-server — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can faa-traffic-delays-mcp-server do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: faa_delays_get_advisory, faa_delays_get_airport_status, faa_delays_get_operations_plan, faa_delays_list_active_events, faa_delays_list_advisories, faa_delays_list_reference. 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-traffic-delays-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 571 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect faa-traffic-delays-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-traffic-delays-mcp-server need an API key?
No. faa-traffic-delays-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-traffic-delays-mcp-server?
It answers our handshake in 571 ms on average, which is faster than 20% 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-traffic-delays-mcp-server?
The npm package @cyanheads/faa-traffic-delays-mcp-server was installed 101 times in the last week. Week over week that is +42%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is faa-traffic-delays-mcp-server open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript and 1 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at faa-traffic-delays.caseyjhand.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
