No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/airport_navaids for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.
Navaids (NDB/VOR/DME/…) associated with one airfield.
Tool description as the model sees it
Navigational aids (NDB, VOR, DME, VOR-DME, VORTAC, TACAN, …) associated with one airfield from the OurAirports dataset: ident, name, type, frequency in kHz, coordinates, elevation, DME channel and power. Pass any code ourairports_lookup accepts. Most airfields have none on file (navaids are sparse relative to airports) — that returns an empty list with found:true, not an error. An unrecognized airfield code is refused with a clear error, never an empty success.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
code | string | yes | ICAO/IATA/GPS/local code, e.g. “KORD”. |
