How it works under the hood

This MCP server wraps the battle-tested makework36/skyscanner-flight-scraper-api Actor. Each search_flights tool invocation:

  1. Forwards arguments to the upstream scraper.
  2. The scraper fetches fresh PerimeterX tokens from a dedicated token server.
  3. Returns a curated JSON with the most relevant fields (compact for AI consumption).

Full architecture documented in the companion Actor.

Use cases for AI agents

  • Travel assistants that return cheapest options for a user query in natural language.
  • Itinerary builders that explore destination=everywhere to find surprise trips.
  • Price-watch workflows that schedule periodic search_flights and alert on drops.
  • Business travel agents that filter by cabinClass=business and carrier preferences.

Model compatibility

Tested with Claude Opus/Sonnet 4.x, GPT-4+, Cursor Agent mode, and the Apify actors-mcp-server auto-discovery.
