FlightClaw agents: book flights with AI

Search, price-track and book flights from your AI assistant. FlightClaw is an AI flight booking agent and MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and any MCP client. It covers about 300 airlines, finds cheap flights, remembers your travellers and preferences, and works as a flight price tracker that emails you when a tracked fare drops.

Skills

Agent skills for the hosted MCP server (https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp). Each skill tells the agent which tools to call, in which order, and when to ask the user first.

Skill	Use it to
book-flight	Search, compare and book flights with AI, then pay by checkout link or Link virtual card
track-flight-price	Track a fare daily and get an email alert when the price drops
plan-group-trip	Save travellers and groups, search multi-city trips and book everyone at once
manage-booking	Find orders and booking references, quote changes and cancel with a refund quote
traveler-profile	Save you, companions, preferences, cards, points balances and trip history

The root SKILL.md covers the local open-source server.

Option 1: Hosted MCP (recommended)

Server URL: https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp (streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in). Nothing to install.

Client	Setup
Claude (web / desktop)	Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector > paste https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp
ChatGPT	Settings > Apps & Connectors > Create (developer mode) > paste https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp
Claude Code	claude mcp add --transport http flightclaw https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp
Cursor	One-click install, or add {"mcpServers":{"flightclaw":{"url":"https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp"}}} to ~/.cursor/mcp.json
VS Code	One-click install, or code --add-mcp '{"name":"flightclaw","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp"}'
Windsurf	Add {"mcpServers":{"flightclaw":{"serverUrl":"https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp"}}} to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

Group	Tools
Search	search_flights, search_multi_city, recommend_flights, get_offer, get_seat_map
Booking	create_checkout, get_checkout_status, list_orders, get_order, request_change, cancel_order
Price tracking	track_flight, list_tracked, remove_tracked (checked daily, email alert on a drop)

Booking and payment

1. search_flights returns offers. Each total_amount includes the FlightClaw booking fee.
2. create_checkout returns a checkout_url and the exact total_amount + total_currency. Nothing is charged yet.
3. Pay one of two ways:
   • Checkout link: the traveller opens checkout_url and pays by card.
   • Link virtual card: the agent creates a Link spend request for exactly total_amount (fare + booking fee), the user approves it in Link, and the agent pays on checkout_url with the Link virtual card. The agent never pays more than the approved amount.
4. get_checkout_status until completed, then get_order for the booking reference.

The agent never asks for card numbers.

Option 2: Local open-source server

The rest of this README covers the self-hosted Python server in this repo. It searches Google Flights and tracks prices locally with no account.

Local MCP server

FlightClaw runs as a local MCP server, giving any MCP-compatible client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc.) access to flight search and tracking tools.

Setup

# Install dependencies
pip install "flights==0.9.0" "mcp[cli]<2" fastmcp pydantic-settings

# Add to Claude Code
claude mcp add flightclaw -- python3 /path/to/agents/server.py

Or in Claude Desktop, add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flightclaw": {
      "command": "python3",
      "args": ["/path/to/agents/server.py"]
    }
  }
}

Tools

Tool	Description
search_flights	Search Google Flights for prices on a route
search_dates	Find cheapest dates to fly across a date range (calendar view)
track_flight	Add a route to price tracking with optional target price
check_prices	Check all tracked flights for price changes and alerts
list_tracked	List all tracked flights with price history
remove_tracked	Remove a route from tracking
check_flight_wifi	Ask seatwifi.com whether a flight (e.g. UA1234) has WiFi or Starlink
