`find_by_callsign`

Pack: adsb · Connect: https://pipeworx.io/mcp (see Connect below for a single-pack URL)

No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/find_by_callsign for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.

Track a flight by its callsign (e.g. “UAL123”). Returns the live real-time ADS-B position (lat/lon, altitude, ground speed, heading) of the aircraft currently broadcasting that flight callsign. Live position, not a schedule lookup.

Parameters

`callsign`	string	yes	Flight callsign, e.g. ‘UAL123’.
