## What it does

This server gives an agent access to Google Flights searches. Queries can filter by cabin class and stops, then sort or paginate the results. A separate date grid compares fares across travel days, while the airport lookup accepts a city or airport name and partial codes.

No API key is needed. Claude Code can launch the server through `npx` after you add the MCP command. The server also limits request frequency, so repeated searches are subject to that cap.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)

## Install
