search_result: No official U.S. DOT, BTS or FAA hosted or remote MCP server exists. npm was searched for
  first-party @usdot / @faa / @bts scopes (none), and the FAA Gravitee portal catalog (7 APIs, enumerated
  anonymously 2026-07-28) advertises no MCP surface. Two community servers do exist and are recorded under
  third_party below; neither is DOT-published. The tool list below is therefore a DERIVED CANDIDATE mapped
  one-to-one onto real, verified operationIds in the harvested OpenAPI, restricted to the surfaces that
  answer anonymously (FAA ASWS and FAA APRA) plus the two Socrata SODA read surfaces.
