delta — Claude Code MCP server: what it does, how to install
MCP server for Delta Air Lines powered by browser automation. It lets coding assistants search flights, select seats, check in, and monitor SkyMiles.
claude mcp add delta -- npx -y @striderlabs/mcp-deltaWhat delta does
The server links your assistant to Delta Air Lines via Playwright browser automation. It exposes 17 tools covering the entire reservation workflow, from route lookups to boarding pass downloads. General schedule searches and flight status queries work immediately without an account. For account-specific tools, the login helper generates a sign-in URL and saves session cookies to ~/.striderlabs/delta/cookies.json.
Automation routines use realistic headers, timezone spoofing, and randomized delays to bypass automated traffic filters. Accidental purchases are blocked by design: the checkout step only displays an itinerary preview until passed an explicit confirm: true parameter.
You must run npx playwright install chromium locally before running the server, or the headless browser engine will fail to start. No external API tokens are required.
What it helps with
- find Delta flights across specific dates and passenger counts
- inspect cabin seating charts and assign seats
- complete online check-in and retrieve digital boarding passes
- check SkyMiles balances and Medallion tier standing
Example prompts for the agent
- Search one-way Delta flights from ATL to LAX on July 15
- Check gate and delay status for flight DL 123
- Check in for confirmation code ABC123 with last name Smith
