This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides access to the Flightradar24 API for real-time and historical flight data. This server enables AI assistants like Claude to access comprehensive aviation data including live flight positions, aircraft information, airport details, and flight histories.

• Real-time Flight Tracking: Get live positions of aircraft worldwide
• Historical Flight Data: Access flight data dating back to May 11, 2016
• Comprehensive Flight Information: Detailed aircraft, airline, and airport data
• Flexible Filtering: Search by callsigns, registrations, routes, aircraft types, and more
• Flight Summaries: Complete takeoff and landing information
• Aircraft Tracks: Detailed positional tracking for specific flights

npm install -g @flightradar24/fr24api-mcp

1. Node.js: Version 18.0.0 or higher
2. Flightradar24 API Key: Get your API key from https://fr24api.flightradar24.com

Add this configuration to your claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fr24api": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@flightradar24/fr24api-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "FR24_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important Notes:

• Replace your_api_key_here with your actual Flightradar24 API key
• Restart Claude Desktop after adding the configuration
• If installed locally, use the full path: "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/build/index.js"]

For other MCP clients, run the server directly:

FR24_API_KEY=your_api_key_here npx @flightradar24/fr24api-mcp
