Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_flights | Get all flights within a time interval (max 2 hours). Returns ICAO24 address, callsign, departure/arrival airports. Provide begin and end as Unix timestamps. Example: get_flights(1696118400, 1696125600). |
get_aircraft | Get flights for a specific aircraft by its ICAO24 transponder address (hex string, e.g., "3c675a"). Returns departure/arrival airports and times. Optionally specify a time range. |
get_states | Get live ADS-B state vectors for all currently tracked aircraft (up to 100 returned), or filter to specific aircraft by passing comma-separated ICAO24 hex addresses. Returns position (lat/lon), barometric and geometric altitude (metres), velocity (m/s), heading (degrees), vertical rate, and on-ground flag. |
airspace_activity | Summary of live flight activity over a named region — total aircraft count, by-country breakdown of operators, average altitude, ground vs in-air split. Built for "is airspace open / closed" style geopolitical bets (Polymarket "Iran closes its airspace by X", "Strait of Hormuz traffic returns to normal", "Russia closes airspace"). Supported regions: Iran, Israel, Syria, Ukraine, Russia, Taiwan, North Korea, South China Sea, Yemen, Strait of Hormuz, Taiwan Strait, Red Sea, Saudi Arabia, Gulf of Aden, Lebanon. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"opensky": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/opensky/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Opensky data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
