Claude setup tutorial

Use Community Aviation Tools MCP in Claude

Add this hosted MCP server as a Claude custom connector, authenticate, then enable its aviation tools in a chat.

MCP server URL
https://mcp.communityaviation.ai/mcp

Step By Step

1

Open Claude connector settings

In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors. For Team or Enterprise organizations, an Owner adds the connector from Organization settings, then members connect it from their own connector settings.

2

Add a custom connector

Select the add control, choose Add custom connector, name it Community Aviation Tools, and paste the MCP server URL shown above.

3

Finish authentication

Click Add, then complete the OAuth sign-in flow. Claude will use the authorization server metadata exposed by this server to request access.

4

Enable it in a chat

Start a new Claude chat, open the connector picker from the compose bar, and turn on Community Aviation Tools for the conversation.

5

Ask Claude to use the tools

Try a request that needs aviation data. Claude can call tools for airport details, decoded METAR and TAF, active NOTAMs, pilot reports, SIGMETs, G-AIRMETs, winds aloft, chart content, and distance calculations.

Example prompt: Using Community Aviation Tools, summarize the current weather, TAF, and active NOTAMs for KSFO.
