ADSB IQ MCP server

Which MCP servers are ADSB IQ's own, from the official registry and from asking its own domain, whether they answer, and what they offer. A program checked each of these, nobody copied them from a product page.

Whose server it is
  • Registry namecom.adsbiq/adsbiqverified in the MCP registry

The registry name sits under adsbiq.com. The registry only lets a publisher use that namespace after proving control of the domain through DNS or HTTP.

On 2026-10-19 the server answered initialize and tools/list without a sign-in. First answer in 283 ms.

Should an agent connect itSkip it
  • Its tools do none of the product's use cases we checked: tune a receiver antenna using live signal meter readings; query a global aircraft snapshot through a REST API; decode VDL2 messages for aircraft times and weather.

Once connected

  • Parameters are untyped or undescribed in 2 of 3 tools: check arguments before calling.

Said by rules from the measurements above. The likely first call is a model's pick from the tool list; read its description before relying on it.

Each of the product's use cases, put to Jev against this server's tool list: can an agent do it with these tools?

Worth a look

None of the five warning signs in these definitions.

A program checks the server once a day: initialize and tools/list, no model. Tokens are the definitions' length at about four characters a token. The grade averages six checks of every tool's name, description, schema and annotations; it says how well the tools are described, not whether they work. The score weighs what was measured and nothing else: answering (25%), doing the product's job (25%), definitions (20%), context (10%), use (10%) and how readily a client connects (10%). A part that was not measured is left out, and a hidden instruction caps the score at 40. The state of vendors' MCP servers: method and numbers →

Tools it offers3 tools · read 2026-10-19
  • get_aircraft

    Return the current public state for one ICAO 24-bit hex address.

  • nearby_aircraft

    Return at most 50 aircraft within at most 250 nautical miles.

  • network_stats

    Return bounded aggregate counts for the current public aircraft snapshot.

How to connect

Add the server to your MCP client config. Claude Desktop, Cursor and most other clients read this shape:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "adsbiq": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://adsbiq.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add it

Claude Code, in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport http adsbiq https://adsbiq.com/mcp

Add to CursorAdd to VS Code

claude.ai, ChatGPT and other clients: add https://adsbiq.com/mcp as a custom connector in the settings.

Each line is something a program found when it went looking: the registry entry, the server's own answer, a spec that parses. A missing line means we did not find it, not that it does not exist.
