How it works under the hood
This MCP server wraps the battle-tested makework36/skyscanner-flight-scraper-api Actor. Each search_flights tool invocation:
- Forwards arguments to the upstream scraper.
- The scraper fetches fresh PerimeterX tokens from a dedicated token server.
- 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=everywhereto find surprise trips. - Price-watch workflows that schedule periodic
search_flightsand alert on drops. - Business travel agents that filter by
cabinClass=businessand carrier preferences.
Model compatibility
Tested with Claude Opus/Sonnet 4.x, GPT-4+, Cursor Agent mode, and the Apify actors-mcp-server auto-discovery.
