No MCP client? Call it directly: GET https://gateway.pipeworx.io/v1/tools/faa_search for the schema, then POST the same URL with its arguments for the data.
Keyword search across the Federal Aviation Regulations — US FAA / aviation rules in 14 CFR. Answers “what FAA regulations cover X”, “the aviation rule / FAR about X”, “find the FAA regulation for X”. Great for topics: right-of-way, VFR/IFR flight rules, minimum safe altitudes, drone / small unmanned aircraft operations, remote pilot certification, airline operating requirements, pilot certification and medical, aircraft airworthiness, maintenance and repair stations, airspace, TFRs. Returns matching Federal Aviation Regulations with citation (14 CFR / FAR), heading, excerpt, and source URL. Note: the CFR text uses “unmanned aircraft”, not “drone” — search “unmanned aircraft night” for drone-at-night rules. Example: faa_search({ query: “unmanned aircraft night” }); faa_search({ query: “right-of-way rules”, limit: 15 }). Keyless.
