Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search Google Flights for fares, compare prices across dates, and look up airport IATA codes.

What you can do
The server exposes three tools: search_flights for flight searches with filtering, sorting and pagination; get_date_grid for a date-price grid showing the cheapest fare per day over roughly 60 days; and find_airport_code for IATA lookup by city, airport name or partial code. It supports cabin class, stop and sorting filters, multi-passenger searches, multiple currencies, and includes built-in rate limiting. A config resource reports server settings and available tools.
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs to answer travel questions such as finding the cheapest nonstop option between two airports, identifying the cheapest travel dates in a month, or resolving a city to its airport code. It fits trip-planning conversations where live fare comparisons matter.
Requirements
Runs locally as a stdio process, typically launched with npx from the npm package google-flights-mcp-server, so Node.js and network access are needed. No API key, account or authentication is required, and no environment variables or headers are declared. The manifest lists it as desktop-only.
Before you install
The server queries Google Flights directly, so search terms such as routes, dates and passenger counts are sent to that third party. It only reads fare data and does not book, pay for or modify anything. Results are live third-party data and may be incomplete or change; the README notes manual tests hit real Google Flights.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Google Flights in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
