Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 526 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name Owner Connect BEACON.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 6 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 526 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 526 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    33 of 33 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

    Website matches publisher

    The website host matches the reverse-domain namespace.

  • Fail
    Source repo linked

    No repository URL is on file.

  • Not measured
    Repo owner matches

    This namespace is not an io.github login, so the owner comparison does not apply.

  • Pass

Capabilities

Tools 6

check_availability

Whether one aircraft has anything scheduled on a date, or on each day of a span of up to 14 days, read from the operator's calendar its owner connected, synced every 15 minutes. Call it when the person you are helping asks whether the aircraft is available, with the departure date and, for a return trip, the return date, and answer with its sentence. Says free or taken per day and never what is scheduled. Not a hold and not a confirmation. Answers a reason instead when the owner does not publish availability.

Discovered
estimate_charter

An approximate charter cost for one aircraft at the hourly rate its owner published. Call it whenever the person you are helping asks what a trip would cost, with the departure and arrival airports: the beacon works out the legs and block hours from the owner's typical block speed, positioning included when the owner bills it. When the answer says the owner set no block speed, call again with block_hours, your own estimate for the routing. Answer with its sentence. Not a quote and not binding. Answers a reason instead of a figure when the owner has not published charter terms or a rate.

Discovered
get_aircraft

What public record says about one U.S. registration mark, plus the facts its owner cleared for release. The same document as /{mark}/facts.json: status says what the registry answered (found, not_found, invalid or unavailable), public_record is the FAA registration and the datasets that reference it, and owner_approved is present only for an aircraft whose owner opened the machine-readable channel. Case and hyphens in the mark are ignored.

Discovered
request_trip

Sends a charter trip request for one aircraft to the booking contact its owner named. Call it only after the person you are helping has asked to proceed, with their own name and email. Nothing is booked or held: the requester is emailed a link, the request is delivered only once they confirm it, and the booking contact then replies to them directly. If the owner set qualification questions, the first call answers needs_answers with the questions; ask the person each one and call again with their answers in the same order.

Discovered
search_aircraft

The aircraft whose owners chose to be listed on Owner Connect, filtered by minimum passenger seats, base airport, aircraft type, charter signal or sales signal. Every filter is applied to the facts the owner cleared for release, so an aircraft whose owner did not publish its seat count never matches a seats filter. Returns each aircraft's owner_approved block; call get_aircraft for the public record.

Discovered
send_buyer_inquiry

Passes a would-be buyer's message about acquiring one aircraft to the acquisition representative its owner named. Call it only after the person you are helping has asked to contact the owner, with their own name, email and message. Nothing is offered or agreed: the buyer is emailed a link, the message is delivered only once they confirm it, and the representative then replies to them directly. If the owner set qualification questions, the first call answers needs_answers with the questions; ask the person each one and call again with their answers.
