`search_airports`

Pack: airports · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/airports/mcp

Look up an airport by city name (e.g. “Tokyo”, “New York”, “London”) OR by 3-letter IATA code (e.g. “JFK”, “LHR”). City lookup uses a bundled map of the top ~150 international hubs; cities with multiple airports return all primary ones. For airports not in the bundle, pass an IATA code or use the aviationstack pack for full-text name/country search.

Parameters
