Pulls live aviation weather data from NOAA and other official sources through a streamable HTTP gateway. You get eight tools covering the essentials: METAR observations, TAF forecasts, pilot reports, SIGMETs, AIRMETs, graphical AIRMETs, winds aloft, and station metadata. Pass ICAO codes like KSFO or EGLL for weather at specific airports, filter PIREPs by distance or flight level, or grab active weather advisories without parameters. Part of the Pipeworx gateway ecosystem, so you can use it standalone or access it alongside 250+ other data sources through a single endpoint. Useful for flight planning tools, weather briefing assistants, or any app that needs authoritative aviation weather in real time.
Aviation Weather MCP — METAR, TAF, PIREPs, AIRMET/SIGMET, station info
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1160+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
metar | METAR observations. ids = comma-sep ICAO codes (KSFO,EGLL,LFPG). |
taf | Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF) for one or more ICAO airport codes (e.g. KSFO,EGLL); returns forecast periods covering wind, visibility, and cloud ceilings for the next 24–30 h. |
pirep | Pilot reports (PIREPs). Call with no args for recent US-wide reports (default CONUS box), or pass a station id for reports within distance_nm of it, or a custom bbox. |
sigmet | Fetch all currently active SIGMETs (significant en-route weather hazards: convection, turbulence, icing, volcanic ash) from the US Aviation Weather Center; no inputs required. |
airmet | Fetch all currently active AIRMETs (moderate turbulence, icing, IFR/mountain-obscuration advisories for general aviation) from the US Aviation Weather Center; no inputs required. |
gairmet | Fetch Graphical AIRMETs from the US Aviation Weather Center; optionally filter by type (turb, ice, sfc_winds, lifr, ifr); returns GeoJSON-style hazard polygons. |
windsaloft | Winds and temperatures aloft forecast from the US Aviation Weather Center; specify US region (us/bos/mia/chi/dfw/slc/sfo/alaska) and level (low/high); returns an ASCII table or JSON. |
stationinfo | Aerodrome metadata — lat/lon, elevation, country. |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"aviation-weather": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/aviation-weather/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1160+ 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 Aviation Weather data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
