OctoTrip Flights — Claude Code MCP server: how to install
MCP server for querying real-time flight fares across airlines without API keys. It delivers price-sorted options grouped by stops via a remote HTTP endpoint.
claude mcp add --transport http flights https://mcp.octotrip.app/flights/mcpWhat OctoTrip Flights does
The server exposes a search tool that lets your AI assistant look up current airfares between cities or airport codes. You supply travel dates, seat class, and passenger counts. The tool returns matching flights with airline details, flight numbers, duration, and partner checkout links.
Communication relies on stateless streamable HTTP at https://mcp.octotrip.app/flights/mcp using Server-Sent Events. It keeps no session state. The endpoint limits traffic to one request per second, allowing bursts up to five.
This service does not process payments or manage bookings. It queries external aggregators and sorts results purely by price within each stop category.
What it helps with
- compare flight options and fares across multiple carriers
- search one-way and round-trip journeys with custom passenger counts
- check prices in specific currencies like EUR or USD
- find economy or business class seats for specific dates
Example prompts for the agent
- Find one-way flights from FRA to BCN on August 1st for two adults in EUR
- Check direct flights from JFK to London Heathrow for next Monday
- Search business class options from Tokyo to Paris departing on October 10
