Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Google Flights for AI agents: prices, airlines, flight numbers, times, stops, emissions.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http google-flights 'https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/google-flights-scraper' --header 'Authorization: Bearer {apify_token}'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-flights": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/google-flights-scraper",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {apify_token}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "google-flights": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/google-flights-scraper",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {apify_token}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Your Apify API token, sent as 'Bearer '. Get it at https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations (free account).

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Google Flights (via Apify) 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: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 33 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, First Sale Scout

Google Flights Scraper & API: prices, airlines and times

Google Flights Scraper is an Apify Actor that returns Google Flights results for any route and date: price, airlines, flight numbers, departure and arrival times, duration, stops and layovers, aircraft, legroom and CO2 emissions, one way or round trip, any cabin, passengers and currency, at $0.20 per 1,000 flights.

Price: $0.20 per 1,000 flights ($0.16 on Gold and above) · Run it: https://apify.com/automationnation/google-flights-scraper · Guide: https://retracn.github.io/automationnation-actors/google-flights-scraper/

Quick facts

  • One row per flight: price, airlines, flight numbers, times, duration, stops, layovers, legs with aircraft and legroom, CO2 vs typical.
  • One way or round trip, economy to first, 1–9 adults, nonstop filter, any currency.
  • Airport codes or city names; many routes per run.
  • Price: $0.20 per 1,000 flights (a search costs under a cent).
  • Migrating from the Amadeus Self-Service API? The open-source amadeus-cloud package (github.com/retracn/amadeus-cloud) keeps the Amadeus Node SDK's flightOffersSearch.get/post and returns Amadeus-shaped offers from this Actor.
  • Fare alerts: with Only fare drops on, a scheduled run saves a route's flights only when its cheapest fare is lower than on the previous run, with that previous price on every row; Max price adds a threshold such as "under $900".

Example input

{

"origin": "JFK", "destination": "LHR", "departureDate": "2026-11-12" }

Flight price alerts (fare drops)

Schedule a search with "onlyPriceDrops": true: each run saves the route's flights only when its cheapest fare is lower than on the previous run, with previousCheapestPrice on every row. Add "maxPrice": 900 for a threshold alert. The first run saves everything (change: "first_check"); a run with no drop saves nothing.

{ "origin": "JFK", "destination": "LHR", "departureDate": "2026-12-18", "returnDate": "2027-01-03", "maxPrice": 900, "onlyPriceDrops": true }

FAQ

Is there an official Google Flights API? No. Google shut down its QPX Express flights API in 2018. Google Flights Scraper returns Google Flights results as data.

Are prices per person? Prices include taxes and cover all passengers; round trips show the round-trip total.

Can it send me flight price alerts? Yes. Schedule a search with Only fare drops on: each run saves flights only when the cheapest fare drops, with the previous price, and the task's Integrations tab sends them to Slack, email or a webhook. A run with no drop saves nothing.
