adsb.lol MCP — live aircraft tracking via community ADS-B.

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1394+ live data sources.

Tool	Description
`aircraft_near`	Live aircraft tracking: what planes are flying overhead or near a location right now. Returns real-time ADS-B positions (altitude, ground speed, heading, vertical rate) for every aircraft within a radius of a lat/lon point. Use this for "what is flying above me" / "planes near ".
`get_aircraft`	Track a specific aircraft by its 24-bit ICAO hex address (e.g. "a835af"). Returns the live ADS-B position (lat/lon, altitude, speed, heading) of that exact airframe if it is currently transmitting. Real-time position data, not schedules.
`find_by_callsign`	Track a flight by its callsign (e.g. "UAL123"). Returns the live real-time ADS-B position (lat/lon, altitude, ground speed, heading) of the aircraft currently broadcasting that flight callsign. Live position, not a schedule lookup.
`military_aircraft`	Live military and government aircraft currently being tracked worldwide via ADS-B. Returns real-time positions (lat/lon, altitude, speed, heading) for military/government airframes transmitting right now.

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adsb": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/adsb/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Adsb data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
