aviation_get_metar

MCP tool from Aviation Weather MCP Server by cyanheads

Get current weather observations (METARs) for one or more airports. Returns decoded wind, visibility, ceiling, present weather, temp/dewpoint, altimeter, cloud layers, flight category (VFR/MVFR/IFR/LIFR), and the raw METAR string.

How to use it

Project documentation lists aviation_get_metar for the Aviation Weather MCP Server MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
