Common questions

Is Pointsyeah safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: POINTSYEAH_REFRESH_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.9) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

PointsYeah MCP Server

An MCP server for searching award flights and travel deals via PointsYeah. Search for flight availability using points and miles across 20+ airline loyalty programs and compare transfer options from major bank reward programs.

Features

Award Flight Search - Search for flights using points/miles across multiple airline programs
Bank Transfer Comparisons - See transfer options from Chase, Amex, Citi, Capital One, Bilt, and Wells Fargo
Search History - Review your past award flight searches

Prerequisites

A PointsYeah account (free or premium)
Node.js 18+

Configuration

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
`POINTSYEAH_REFRESH_TOKEN`	No	AWS Cognito refresh token from PointsYeah (optional — can be set at runtime via `set_refresh_token` tool)
`ENABLED_TOOLGROUPS`	No	Comma-separated tool groups to enable (default: all)

Authentication

All three tools are always visible to the MCP client. Auth-requiring tools (search_flights, get_search_history) return a clear error directing users to set_refresh_token when not authenticated.

Without a token: Calling search_flights or get_search_history returns an error: "Authentication required. Please call the set_refresh_token tool first."
After providing a valid token (via environment variable or the tool): Flight search tools work normally
If the token expires or is revoked: Auth-requiring tools start returning errors again, prompting the user to call set_refresh_token

Obtaining the Refresh Token

Go to PointsYeah Sign In and log in
Open browser DevTools (F12) -> Console
Run:

   document.cookie

.split('; ') .find((c) => c.includes('.refreshToken=')) .split('=') .slice(1) .join('=');

4. Either set it as the `POINTSYEAH_REFRESH_TOKEN` environment variable, or provide it at runtime via the `set_refresh_token` tool

Note: The refresh token typically expires after 30-90 days. When it expires, the server will switch back to the set_refresh_token tool automatically.

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:

"mcpServers": { "pointsyeah": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "pointsyeah-mcp-server"], "env": { "POINTSYEAH_REFRESH_TOKEN": "your-refresh-token-here" } } } }

Manual Setup

# Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/pulsemcp/mcp-servers.git cd mcp-servers/experimental/pointsyeah

Install dependencies

npm run install-all

Set up environment

export POINTSYEAH_REFRESH_TOKEN="your-refresh-token"

Build and run

npm run build cd local && npm start

Available Tools

Tool	Description	Requires Auth
`set_refresh_token`	Set the PointsYeah refresh token for authentication	No
`search_flights`	Search for award flights using points/miles across multiple airline programs	Yes
`get_search_history`	Get past flight search history	Yes

Architecture

This server uses a two-step approach for flight searches:

Explorer Search - HTTP POST to PointsYeah's explorer API with departure/arrival airports, date, and cabin classes. Returns summary results with CloudFront detail URLs.
Detail Fetch - HTTP GET each detail URL to retrieve full route, segment, and transfer information. Up to 10 detail fetches per search.

All API calls use plain HTTP requests with the Cognito ID token for authentication.

Authentication Flow

PointsYeah uses AWS Cognito for authentication. The server supports dynamic authentication:

On startup, if POINTSYEAH_REFRESH_TOKEN is set, validates it via Cognito. If valid, enters authenticated mode. If invalid/expired, enters unauthenticated mode.
All tools are always registered. Auth-requiring tools check authentication state at call time and return errors when not authenticated.
Once authenticated (via env var or set_refresh_token), exchanges the refresh token for access and ID tokens via Cognito's InitiateAuth API.
Refreshes tokens lazily when they're within 5 minutes of expiry.
If a token is revoked mid-session (detected via API error), automatically marks auth state as invalid so subsequent calls prompt re-authentication.

Development

# Install dependencies

npm run install-all

Build

npm run build

Run tests

npm test # Functional tests npm run test:integration # Integration tests (with TestMCPClient) npm run test:all # All tests

Development mode

npm run dev

Linting (from repo root)

cd ../.. && npm run lint cd ../.. && npm run format

Limitations

Refresh token expiry - The Cognito refresh token expires (typically 30-90 days). Users need to re-login and update the token.
Free plan limits - PointsYeah may limit search frequency or result count on free plans.
API changes - If PointsYeah changes their explorer API, the search flow may need updating.
