PAVE MCP server
PAVE is flight-training software for flight instructors, students and flight schools. This is PAVE's hosted MCP server. It lets an AI assistant read your own PAVE records (your syllabus and progress, your schedule, the school's airplanes, your papers) and search PAVE's FAR/AIM library, after you sign in with your own PAVE account.
This repository holds documentation only. PAVE hosts the server, so there is no package to install and no server code here.
| Server | https://api.pavecfi.com/mcp |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP (remote) |
| Sign-in | OAuth, with your own PAVE account |
| Access | Read-only |
| MCP Registry name | com.pavecfi/pave |
| Website | https://pavecfi.com/connect |
You need a PAVE account. During the beta, PAVE accounts come from your instructor or school.
What it does
Every tool reads only what your own PAVE account can see in the app. A student sees their own record. An instructor or the school sees the school's students. Nothing is written or changed.
| Tool | What it reads |
|---|---|
read_syllabus | The syllabus a student is on: the course, its stages and lessons, which are signed and which come next, and where a topic ("steep turns") is taught. Another company's course comes back as theirs, with counts only. |
read_person | A student's file (for an instructor or the school), or your own record. Syllabus and progress come first. |
read_people | The people you may see, by name, with their ids and roles. |
read_instructors | The school's instructors. |
read_currency | One person's currency (instructor or school only). |
read_documents | The papers on file for a person or an airplane: medical, certificates, endorsements, uploads. |
read_my_bookings | Every booking you're on as the pilot, the instructor or the examiner. |
read_schedule | One airplane's schedule. Other people's bookings show only as busy time. |
read_calendar | Your linked calendars and the other instructors' busy time. |
read_fleet | The school's airplanes and whether each is airworthy. |
read_aircraft | One airplane's airworthiness, by tail number. |
read_aircraft_hold | Whether one airplane is on hold, by tail number. |
read_squawks | Open squawks. |
read_weather | The latest METAR, the TAF, the daily forecast, and sunrise and sunset for a field. A display and a forecast, never a weather briefing. |
read_regs | The exact text of 14 CFR, 49 CFR, the AIM and the advisory circulars, with where it lives. |
read_notebook | Answers to rules questions that a person checked, each with its source. |
How to set it up
VS Code with GitHub Copilot
Add PAVE to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace (or to your user MCP configuration):
{
"servers": {
"pave": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.pavecfi.com/mcp"
}
}
}
Start the server, then sign in to PAVE in the browser window that opens.
Claude
PAVE is listed in Claude's connector directory. Add it from there and sign in to PAVE.
Other assistants
Any MCP client that supports remote servers over streamable HTTP with OAuth sign-in can connect. Add https://api.pavecfi.com/mcp as a custom connector and sign in to PAVE.
How to use it
Ask in plain words. For example:
- "What's my next lesson, and what does it cover?"
- "Where in my syllabus are steep turns?"
- "Which airplanes are airworthy right now?"
- "What am I booked on for the next two weeks?"
- "Show me 14 CFR 61.87, paragraph (d)."
- "What's the weather at KPVF?"
