What it can do
- Check Airspace: Check all airspace restrictions at a given location. Queries 11 FAA data layers (UASFM ceiling, class airspace, TFRs, NOTAMs, SUAs, NSUFRs, stadiums, FRIAs, airports, Mode C veils, MTR
- Get Active Tfrs: List active Temporary Flight Restrictions near a location. Returns TFRs that geometrically contain the point and nearby TFRs within the search radius.
- Get Notams: Get active NOTAMs (Notices to Air Missions) near a location, filtered by proximity.

Authorization
On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.
How to connect dronelyticsio to Cursor
The server address to paste into Cursor settings:
https://dronelyticsio--mark-nelson.run.tools
Fastest: click Open in Cursor below and confirm the prompt.
Manually:
- In Cursor open Settings → Cursor Settings → MCP and click Add new global MCP server.
