MCP Server

● Model Context Protocol

Look up seat maps from your AI assistant

Add FlightSeatmap to Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP-compatible client. Search flights, browse seat maps, and find the best seats — all without leaving your conversation.

Server URL
https://mcp.flightseatmap.com/mcp
Online · Streamable HTTP · v5.0.0

Claude and ChatGPT have no one-click install for remote servers yet. Open connectors, choose “Add custom connector”, and paste https://mcp.flightseatmap.com/mcp.

Setup

  1. 1 Ensure Node.js is installed (needed to run the MCP bridge)
  2. 2 Open SettingsDeveloperEdit Config
  3. 3 Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flightseatmap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.flightseatmap.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

4 Restart Claude Desktop. FlightSeatMap tools will appear in the tools menu.

Authentication

The config above is all you need — the free tools work with no sign-in. Tools that need your account (like search_flight) sign you in automatically over OAuth.

  1. 1 Add the server with the config above — no API key or header required.
  2. 2 The first time you call an account tool, your MCP client opens a browser window to sign in to FlightSeatMap. Approve access — there's nothing to copy or paste.
  3. 3 Your client remembers the sign-in for next time. You'll need a FlightSeatMap account; each search_flight uses one search credit from your plan.
