Flytoday

io.github.sepehr071v0.1.0Updated Oct 11, 2026

Unofficial read-only Flytoday: Iranian and international flights, hotels, villas, trains, buses.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Lets an assistant search Flytoday for flights, trains, buses, hotels, villas, CIP lounges, eSIMs and visas with prices in Toman.

What it does
An unofficial, read-only MCP server that queries the public Flytoday gateway for Iranian and international travel. It exposes 22 tools covering flight search and cheapest-day calendars, fare rules and baggage, hotel and villa searches with prices and reviews, train and bus schedules with seats left, and extras such as CIP lounges, eSIM plans, visas and activities. Results come back as compact structured JSON with prices in Toman.
When to use it
Useful when planning travel to, from or within Iran and comparing options by price and date, for example finding the cheapest day to fly or train between two cities, checking refund rules, or comparing hotels and villas. It is a research tool only: it cannot book, hold seats or pay.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio, typically via uvx flytoday-mcp (or pip install flytoday-mcp); requires uv or Python. No account, login or API key. Network access to flytoday.ir is needed, and the optional FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY environment variable sets an HTTP proxy for all requests; system proxy settings are ignored.
Before you install
Read-only by design: no login, booking, payment or seat hold. Searches are rate limited per IP by Flytoday, and hotel searches may trigger a captcha block lasting an hour or more; search_id and fare_source_code expire in about 15 minutes. The optional FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY value may embed proxy credentials, so treat it as a secret. Unofficial and not affiliated with Flytoday; its public endpoints may change.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Flytoday 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.

Why

Flytoday (flytoday.ir, فلای تودی) sells domestic and international flights, hotels, villas, trains, buses, CIP lounges, eSIMs and visas. Comparing "which day, plane or train or bus, which hotel" still means many page loads. An agent with flytoday-mcp does it in one go:

You: Cheapest way from Tehran to Mashhad around 20 October?

Agent: calls ft_flight_calendar(origin="THR", destination="MHD", date="2026-10-21", window="week"), ft_train_calendar(origin="1", destination="191")

ModeCheapest dayPrice (Toman)
Flight2026-10-20, airline IRZ11,056,700
Train2026-10-20 (and most days that week)760,000

The train is far cheaper; want me to list that day's trains with ft_search_trains?

Real tool output from 2026-10-07; prices and seats change all the time. Prices are in Toman.

What it can do

  • ✈️ Flights: domestic and international, one-way or round trip, party prices, airline, direct, charter/system and time filters
  • 📅 Cheapest day for flights (+-15 days), trains (~16 days) and buses (~6 weeks)
  • 📜 Fare details: refund and change rules, baggage, international entry notes
  • 🏨 Hotels in Iran and abroad: priced search, room and meal offers with cancellation terms, guest reviews
  • 🏡 Villas and apartments in Iran: price per night and total, per-date calendar with blocked days
  • 🚆🚌 Trains and buses: classes, seats left, stops, amenities, VIP and sleeper buses
  • 🛂 Extras: CIP lounges at IKA and MHD, eSIM data plans per country, visa prices and documents, tours and tickets
  • 🔒 Read-only by design: no login, no seat hold, no booking, no payment

Quick start

You need uv.

Claude Code
bash
claude mcp add flytoday -- uvx flytoday-mcp

If Flytoday does not answer from your network, add a proxy:

bash
claude mcp add flytoday -e FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8080 -- uvx flytoday-mcp
Claude Desktop

Settings → Developer → Edit Config, then add:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "flytoday": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["flytoday-mcp"] }  }}

Need a proxy? Add "env": { "FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY": "http://127.0.0.1:8080" } next to args.

Cursor

Click Install in Cursor above, or add the Claude Desktop block to ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

VS Code (Copilot agent mode)

Click Install in VS Code above, or add to .vscode/mcp.json:

json
{  "servers": {    "flytoday": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uvx", "args": ["flytoday-mcp"] }  }}
Anything else

It's a standard stdio MCP server: run uvx flytoday-mcp, or pip install flytoday-mcp and run flytoday-mcp.

Then just ask:

  • "Cheapest day to fly Tehran to Istanbul next month, and the refund rules of that fare?"
  • "Hotels in Mashhad for 2 nights from the 21st, cheapest first, with free cancellation."
  • "A villa in Ramsar for 4 people next weekend under 5 million Toman a night."
  • ارزان‌ترین اتوبوس VIP تهران به اصفهان دوشنبه بعد؟

How it works

text
  AI agent  (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, ...)      │      │  MCP over stdio      ▼  flytoday-mcp  (runs on your machine)      │      │  HTTPS (optional proxy)      ▼  www.flytoday.ir/api/gateway  ──▶  api.flytoday.ir, placesearch.flytoday.ir

flytoday-mcp runs locally and calls the same public gateway the flytoday.ir website uses. There's no hosted server in between, no API key, and nothing about you is sent anywhere else.

Tools

Each vertical has its own ids, taken from its find tool: IATA codes for flights (THR, MHD, IST), hotel city_id / region_code, stay region_code, train station codes (Tehran 1, Mashhad 191), 4-digit bus city ids (Tehran 0001, Isfahan 0002).

Good to know

  • Prices are in Toman in every tool, in fields named *_toman (the API sends Rial; values are divided by 10). Flight price_toman is per adult and total_toman the whole party; hotel price_toman is the whole stay (with per_night_toman); stays give price_per_night_toman and total_toman; trains per adult; buses per seat. Visa and some activity prices are in a foreign currency (price_currency).
  • Dates in and out are Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; past dates are rejected. Times are local to the place.
  • Flights give airline (English name) and airline_fa (Persian name, when the API has one).
  • Hotels and stays (search rows, ft_hotel, ft_stay) carry image, the cover photo, built like the site as <cdn>/<id>/main.jpg (the API has no image field).
  • Searches are rate limited per IP by Flytoday: about 15 flight/train/bus searches, and hotel search asks for a captcha after about 12 searches in 10 minutes (blocked for an hour or more). Use the calendars and paging (search_id) instead of searching again; the tools never loop searches.
  • Ids expire: search_id and fare_source_code are valid for about 15 minutes.
  • Sales windows: trains open about 16 days ahead. An empty result often just means "not on sale yet".
  • When the rail companies' link is down, Flytoday answers HTTP 599; ft_search_trains retries three times, then says so.

FAQ

Do I need a proxy?

Usually not: the website's gateway answers from Iran and from abroad. If your network cannot reach www.flytoday.ir, or your IP is rate limited, set FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY to an HTTP proxy. System proxy variables (HTTPS_PROXY, ...) are ignored on purpose.

Can it book a ticket for me?

No, and that's deliberate. It has no login and never holds a seat, reserves, orders or pays. The agent finds the best option; you book on flytoday.ir.

I get "wants a captcha" or HTTP 429

Flytoday limits searches per IP. Wait (the hotel captcha block can last an hour or more) or use another network through FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY. Calendars, details, reviews and stay searches are not limited.

Why is there no bus seat map?

The site's seat map comes from the first call of its checkout flow. It is left out until it is clear that the call holds nothing.

How do I debug what the agent sees?
bash
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx flytoday-mcp

Configuration

VariableDefaultMeaning
FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXYunsetHTTP proxy for every request, e.g. http://user:pass@host:port

Safety

  • Read-only: no login or OTP, no seat hold, reservation, order, payment, refund, review or bookmark. The only POSTs are searches and price lookups the site itself makes before booking.
  • At most two requests at a time, and no tool repeats a search in a loop.

فارسی

flytoday-mcp به دستیار هوش مصنوعی شما (Claude، Cursor، Copilot و ...) اجازه می‌دهد در فلای‌تودی ارزان‌ترین پرواز داخلی و خارجی، قطار یا اتوبوس را برای یک روز یا یک ماه پیدا کند، قوانین استرداد و بار مجاز را ببیند و هتل‌ها و ویلاها را با قیمت دقیق مقایسه کند؛ همچنین قیمت CIP، سیم‌کارت eSIM و ویزا را می‌گوید.

  • فقط خواندنی است: وارد حساب نمی‌شود و چیزی رزرو یا پرداخت نمی‌کند.
  • همه قیمت‌ها به تومان است.
  • روی سیستم خود شما اجرا می‌شود و به هیچ سرور واسطی داده نمی‌فرستد.
