Read guide →What these guides cover
Flight search has more edge cases than a typical data lookup: one-way and round-trip dates, passenger counts, cabin classes, currencies, locale, point of sale, changing prices, and upstream latency. Flight MCP exposes those choices through one REST request schema and the same schema through MCP.
Start with the REST guide if you are building an application backend. Use the MCP guide when an AI agent should decide when to search. Read the cache guide before choosing freshness defaults or estimating monthly billable usage.
