Dev builds flight-search MCP that queries 200 sites so Claude can book for you

After a stressful hospital trip where booking flights for 7 people felt like a rigged game, this developer spent 6 months building an inventory layer that any AI can use to search flights.
- Queries Skyscanner, Kayak, Booking and 180+ more sources in minutes
- Ships as an MCP connector: hook it to Claude or ChatGPT and describe dates, passengers, bags in plain language
- Author says a 5-line prompt in Claude usually does the job, no more 15-tab comparison shopping
- Search is free; you pay only at booking time
The product isn't perfect yet, but it's a working example of delegating a tedious real-world chore to AI agents.
