What changed 3

Every tool that appeared, vanished or quietly changed what it asks for. Recorded since 5 October 2026. No other catalogue keeps this.

5 Oct 2 tool descriptions were rewritten check_flight, search_starlink_flights
5 Oct a tool changed the parameters it asks for plan_starlink_itinerary

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check United Starlink Tracker 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 7

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

predict
predict_flight_starlink
Use when the user asks "will my flight have Starlink?" for a date too far out for a confirmed assignment, or with no date at all. Returns the probability that a United Airlines flight number gets a Starlink plane, from historical observations. Reliability varies: high-confidence (5+ obs) is the most reliable tier but is not a guarantee; low-confidence (0-1 obs) is just the fleet prior. UA1-2999 (mainline) has materially lower coverage than UA3000-6999 (express) — call get_fleet_stats for the current split rather than assuming a rate.
predict_route_starlink
Use when the user asks "which flights between X and Y have Starlink?" or "what Starlink flights serve airport X?". Single-route lookup: returns United Airlines flight numbers on a route (or touching an airport) ranked by Starlink probability. Pass both origin+destination for a specific route, OR just one to list all Starlink flights from/into an airport. For trip planning with connections, use plan_starlink_itinerary instead — this tool has no connection logic or coverage-ratio ranking. Empty result = route not served by Starlink planes.
starlink
list_starlink_aircraft
Use when the user asks about the planes themselves — "which tail numbers have Starlink?", "which aircraft types are equipped?". Returns United Airlines tail numbers, aircraft types, operators, and install dates (default 50 most recent; pass limit up to 500). Not for finding flights — use search_starlink_flights for that.
search_starlink_flights
Use when the user asks "what Starlink flights leave from X tomorrow?" or wants scheduled near-term departures. Returns flights in the next ~2 days whose currently assigned aircraft is Starlink-equipped (verified or listed) — a published assignment, not a prediction, though an aircraft swap can still change it. Pass at least one of origin or destination (both narrows to a single route). Aircraft assignments aren't published further out, so for later dates use predict_route_starlink or plan_starlink_itinerary instead.
fleet
get_fleet_stats
Use when the user asks "how far along is the Starlink rollout?" or wants overall fleet numbers. Returns United Airlines Starlink installation counts and percentages across mainline and express fleets, plus a per-aircraft-type breakdown (installed/total per family). Not for per-flight checks — use check_flight for that.
flight
check_flight
Use when the user asks "does my flight have Starlink/WiFi?" with a specific United Airlines flight number and date. Returns YES if the published aircraft assignment is a plane verified to have Starlink, LIKELY YES if that plane is listed as Starlink-equipped but not yet verified, NO if it is a plane verified to have other WiFi, or a probability estimate if no assignment exists yet (assignments publish ~2 days out). An assignment can still change through an aircraft swap. For dates further out, call predict_flight_starlink directly — check_flight just falls through to the same estimate with extra latency.
plan
plan_starlink_itinerary
Use when the user asks "what's the best way to fly X to Y with Starlink?" or wants ranked alternatives. PRIMARY TRAVEL-PLANNING TOOL — multi-stop search (up to 2 stops default, 3 max) ranked by COVERAGE RATIO (expected Starlink hours / total flight hours) so a 92% 1h direct scores the same as a 92% 10h multi-stop. Direct flights always shown first. Returns probability-ranked routings, NOT bookable itineraries — connection timing isn't validated; verify on the airline's site.

United Starlink Tracker — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can United Starlink Tracker do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: check_flight, get_fleet_stats, list_starlink_aircraft, plan_starlink_itinerary, predict_flight_starlink, predict_route_starlink and 1 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 United Starlink Tracker mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around starlink and predict. 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 United Starlink Tracker 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 806 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect United Starlink Tracker?
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 United Starlink Tracker need an API key?
No. United Starlink Tracker completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is United Starlink Tracker?
It answers our handshake in 806 ms on average, which is faster than 10% 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.
