A solo builder says a flight-search side project has grown to more than 12 million API requests in the last 90 days. - Most usage comes from people connecting the MCP to Claude to build flight-scanning agents that check for cheap fares 24/7. - Another major use case is embedding real-time flight search and pricing into other apps. - The project recently crossed $1,000 MRR with zero marketing spend. The creator says the tool started as a personal travel aid while backpacking through Central America and is now being used in ways they hadn’t expected.
