ourairports_find_airports
ActiveTool of io.github.cyanheads/ourairports-mcp-server
declared in 0.1.4
Find airports within a radius of a latitude/longitude, ranked nearest-first by great-circle distance, each with its distance (km) and bearing (degrees true) from the query point. The grounding tool for "nearest airport to here" — pair it with a live aviation server to fetch weather or positions for the result. Takes a coordinate only: no geocoding, so resolve place names to lat/lon upstream first (e.g. an OpenStreetMap or Open-Meteo geocode tool). Closed airports are excluded unless include_closed is set. OurAirports is community-edited — not authoritative for flight operations.
