What is aviation-weather-mcp CLAUDE.md?

A project instruction file for an MCP server that gives language models current aviation weather data from the official NOAA/NWS aviation weather service. MCP is a standard way for AI tools to access external services.

Use it when developing, testing, linting, building, or reviewing the aviation weather MCP server.

It gives contributors consistent commands, code standards, error handling, request limits, and timeouts for maintaining the server.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00498	$0.00498
Opus 5.5	$0.00199	$0.00199
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00100	$0.00100
Haiku 4.5	$0.00050	$0.00050

Security

Grade A, and why

aviation-weather-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Aviation Weather MCP Server

Project Overview

Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for aviation weather data
Uses aviationweather.gov API (official NOAA/NWS source)
Built with TypeScript, Express.js, and MCP SDK
Provides real-time aviation weather tools for LLMs

Development Commands

npm run dev - Development mode with auto-reload
npm run build - TypeScript compilation
npm run test - Jest test suite
npm run ci - Full CI pipeline (lint + test + build)
npm run lint:fix - Auto-fix linting issues

Code Style & Standards

Use conventional commits format (feat:, fix:, docs:, ci:, etc.)
TypeScript with strict typing and ES modules
ESLint with modern flat config
Prefer explicit error handling over throwing exceptions
Use _ prefix for unused function parameters

Architecture Patterns

Service layer: AviationWeatherService handles all API interactions
Tool registration: Separate files for weather, analysis, and airport tools
Error handling: Custom WeatherError type with error codes
Rate limiting: 1-second delay between API requests
Timeout handling: 10-second timeout with AbortController

Key Technical Details

Node.js 22.0.0+ required for ES module support
Jest 30.0.0 for testing with ESM configuration
Flight categories: VFR (e3000ft/e5SM), MVFR (1000-2999ft/3-4SM), IFR (500-999ft/1-2SM), LIFR (<500ft/<1SM)
API base URL: https://aviationweather.gov/api/data

Testing Strategy

Comprehensive unit tests with mocked HTTP calls
Test coverage for all tools and services
Flight category determination logic thoroughly tested
Use jest.mock() for external dependencies

CI/CD Pipeline

GitHub Actions on Node.js 18.x, 20.x, 22.x
Runs lint + test + build on every push/PR
Release workflow for version tags
Codecov integration ready

Deployment

Status: TBD (deployment documentation pending)
Requires Node.js hosting with ES module support
Environment variables: PORT, HOST, NODE_ENV

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
