Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 1026 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name faa-airmen-registry-mcp-server.

  • 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 1026 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 1026 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.

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass

    Parameters documented

    40 of 40 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.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Pass
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner matches the namespace login.

  • Pass

Capabilities

Tools 6

faa_airmen_check_medical_status

Read the FAA snapshot's informational medical class, medical dates, and BasicMed dates for one airman Unique ID. These fields are not authoritative medical certification or fitness determinations. Get the ID from a faa_airmen_verify_certificate, faa_airmen_search_instructors, or faa_airmen_verify_remote_pilot result. Every call is rejected while the operator's personal-data redaction is on (the default).

Discovered
faa_airmen_get_type_ratings

Read one FAA airman's certificates from the FAA pilot file, by Unique ID: pilot, flight instructor, authorized aircraft instructor, remote pilot, and flight engineer, each with every aircraft type, category/class, and instrument rating. Ground instructor, mechanic, and other non-pilot certificates are excluded; faa_airmen_verify_certificate mode id returns every certificate. Get the ID from a faa_airmen_verify_certificate, faa_airmen_search_instructors, or faa_airmen_verify_remote_pilot result. Ratings retain their source certificate type and level and do not establish current operating privileges.

Discovered
faa_airmen_list_reference

Read FAA certificate and rating codes, observed aircraft type designators, identity guidance, medical guidance, or local mirror status. Use these references to construct lookup filters and interpret snapshot limits. Static topics work before mirror initialization.

Discovered
faa_airmen_search_instructors

Find releasable flight and ground instructor certificate records by name, state, and rating codes. Supply at least one name, state, city, ZIP, or rating filter. City and ZIP filters require operator-enabled location access. While the operator's personal-data redaction is on (the default), lastName and firstName are both required, nameMatch prefix and city or ZIP filters are rejected, and city and ZIP are withheld. Legacy expiry fields do not establish instructor currency; CFI certificates no longer expire under the December 2024 rule.

Discovered
faa_airmen_verify_certificate

Find releasable FAA airman records by exact Unique ID or name and read their certificate records. Use name mode to discover IDs, then use an ID for ratings or informational medical fields. Certificate type, level, rating, and type-rating filters must all match one certificate, and each match still returns all its certificates. While the operator's personal-data redaction is on (the default), name mode needs lastName and firstName, nameMatch prefix and city or ZIP filters are rejected, and city and ZIP are withheld. A missing or matching record is not a current licensing or operating-privilege determination.

Discovered
faa_airmen_verify_remote_pilot

Find releasable FAA remote pilot certificate records by Unique ID or name. While the operator's personal-data redaction is on (the default), name mode needs lastName and firstName, nameMatch prefix and city or ZIP filters are rejected, and city and ZIP are withheld. Results establish certificate presence in the local snapshot; they do not establish recurrent-training currency, commercial operating authority, or current Part 107 eligibility.
