Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check FerryFlight every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, but it did not say what kind of credentials it expects.

FerryFlight — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can FerryFlight do?

It exposes 10 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_aircraft, get_airport, get_estimate, get_live_flights, get_registration, get_route and 4 more. 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 →

What is FerryFlight mostly used for?

Its tools cluster around airports and aircraft. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.

Is FerryFlight 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 122 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect FerryFlight?

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. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.

Does FerryFlight need an API key?

Yes. Every time we knock, FerryFlight answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.

How fast is FerryFlight?

It answers our handshake in 122 ms on average, which is faster than 90% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
