ourairports_search_airports
ActiveTool of io.github.cyanheads/ourairports-mcp-server
Search the bundled OurAirports corpus by free-text (name / municipality / keywords) and/or facets (country, region, type). Every query token must match (word order and partial words are handled). Returns ranked airport summaries — operational and larger airports first — each with its full code set and coordinates, ready to chain into ourairports_get_airport. Closed airports are excluded unless include_closed is set. Use ourairports_list_countries for valid country/region codes. For "nearest airport to a coordinate" use ourairports_find_airports instead. OurAirports is community-edited — not authoritative for flight operations.
