FlightSeatMap MCP

Seat maps, seat ratings, traveller reviews and seat alerts for 117 airlines, as a remote MCP server your AI assistant can call.

Ask "which seat should I pick on QF1?" and get the real cabin layout, the free seats ranked against what you care about, and what other travellers said about the one you're considering.

Server: https://mcp.flightseatmap.com/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Auth: none for the read-only tools; OAuth 2.1 for search and alerts
Docs: https://flightseatmap.com/mcp

Nothing needs installing. The server is hosted; you point your client at the URL.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http flightseatmap https://mcp.flightseatmap.com/mcp

Cursor

Install this plugin from the marketplace, or add the server directly in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flightseatmap": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://mcp.flightseatmap.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

code --add-mcp '{"name":"flightseatmap","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.flightseatmap.com/mcp"}'

Claude Desktop

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, then paste the server URL.

Tools

Six tools are free and need no account:

Tool	What it does
`get_seatmap`	The cabin layout for a flight: rows, cabins, which seats are free
`find_best_seats`	Free seats ranked against window, aisle, exit row, extra legroom, quiet zone, bulkhead, front, rear
`get_seat_info`	One seat in detail — pitch, recline, power, galley and lavatory proximity
`interactive_seat_finder`	A good default when the traveller hasn't said what they want yet
`get_seat_reviews`	Traveller reviews, with ratings and per-seat comments
`discover_more_flight_tools`	Related flight and travel MCP servers

Four need a signed-in account, over OAuth:

Tool	What it does
`search_flight`	Fetch fresh data for a flight not yet in the database
`create_seat_alert`	Email the traveller when a matching seat frees up
`list_seat_alerts`	The traveller's alerts, with departure countdowns
`delete_seat_alert`	Remove an alert

Seat map, review and alert results render as interactive MCP Apps widgets in clients that support them.

Authentication

OAuth 2.1 with PKCE and dynamic client registration — there is no API key to request, and no form to fill in. Your client discovers everything it needs from the 401 challenge.

Protected resource metadata: https://mcp.flightseatmap.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp
Authorization server metadata: https://mcp.flightseatmap.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
Written walkthrough: https://flightseatmap.com/auth.md

Scopes are read, write and search. Tools request only the scope they need.

What's in this repo

Path	Purpose
`plugin.json`	Agent Plugins manifest — loads in Cursor unchanged
`mcp.json`	Server declaration, Agent Plugins form
`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`	Claude Code plugin manifest
`.mcp.json`	Server declaration, Claude Code form
`.grok-plugin/plugin.json`	xAI Grok marketplace manifest
`gemini-extension.json`	Gemini CLI extension manifest
`server.json`	Manifest for the official MCP Registry
`skills/`	Agent skills describing how to use the tools well
`commands/`	Slash commands (`/seatmap`, `/best-seats`)

Five ecosystems, five manifest conventions, one server. mcp.json and .mcp.json hold the same endpoint in the two shapes different clients look for — change both together. .grok-plugin/plugin.json points its mcpServers at mcp.json rather than repeating it.

The seat data, the API and the site are a separate, closed-source product. This repo is the connection glue, and it is MIT licensed.

Notes

Availability reflects the seat map, not the airline's live booking inventory. A seat shown as free may already be gone.
Seat maps are keyed on flight number (QF1, BA117, UA900), not route. A date helps, because aircraft swap between dates.
Extra-legroom and exit-row seats usually carry a fee, and exit rows carry age and mobility requirements.
