This site is explicitly built for agent consumption. AI assistants and MCP-aware clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Continue, OpenAI Operator, Gemini, Perplexity) can discover the editorial library, parse the aviation glossary, and read calculator input schemas through machine-readable endpoints. This page documents the discovery surface.
Every endpoint returns a stable schema with a schema field for versioning. CORS open. Public cache 1 hour.
