Aircraft Types returns the physical and operational characteristics of an aircraft type from its ICAO designator, such as B738 or A320, or by searching manufacturer and model. Each type comes with wingspan, length, tail height, maximum takeoff and landing weight, approach speed and category, airplane design group, ICAO wake turbulence category and FAA weight class, with metric conversions. Paid plans add airport planning geometry, RECAT wake categories and US registration and traffic counts.

Ground answers in real data

Enable Aircraft Types and it becomes a tool your agent calls over MCP to check itself against live data before it answers — grounding the response instead of guessing.

On the same endpoint and key

Aircraft Types rides the one VerveContext MCP endpoint alongside 300+ other sources, so adding it to an agent is a toggle, not an integration.

Traceable and current

The agent pulls aircraft types at answer time and can carry the source with the result, so the reasoning stays current and auditable.

Point your agent framework at the VerveContext endpoint. Every enabled source — this one included — becomes a tool the model can call. No per-source plumbing.

Aircraft Types, answered

How to ground an agent in it over MCP.

How do I give my agent Aircraft Types?
Enable it on VerveContext and point your agent framework at the VerveContext MCP endpoint. Aircraft Types then appears to the model as a tool named aircrafttypes, which it calls when a task needs it — no per-source plumbing.
Which agents and frameworks can use it?
Any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, LangChain, and custom agents all speak the Model Context Protocol. Aircraft Types is exposed as a standard tool, so nothing source-specific is required.
Can the agent cite Aircraft Types?
Aircraft Types is a capability rather than a factual source, so it isn't something to "cite" — but it runs on the same real-data layer, over the same MCP endpoint and key as every grounding source.
How many credits does a Aircraft Types call cost?
Each call costs 1 credit. Scoped keys let you grant an agent only the sources it should reach, and usage logs show exactly what was pulled to ground each answer.
How current is the data?
Aircraft Types is served live from APIVerve's production data engine and pulled at the moment the agent calls it, so answers reflect the world now rather than the model's training cutoff. It draws on 388 aircraft types.
Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?
VerveContext runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Aircraft Types is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.

Other ways to use Aircraft Types

Same data, same VerveContext account, same credit balance — one key works on all of them.

Ground your agents in Aircraft Types. Connect over MCP, enable the source, and every answer carries its receipts.
