Skiplagged MCP Server for flight search, hotel booking, and travel planning
Skiplagged Travel Search connects AI assistants toSkiplaggedfor flight, hotel, and rental-car searches.
With this server enabled, tools likeClaude,ChatGPT, Cursor, and VS Code can search Skiplagged directly from a chat—no browser needed.
It uses the openModel Context Protocol(MCP), which lets AI applications call external tools through a standard HTTP interface.
- Flight search:Look up one‑way or round‑trip flights between cities, with various filters.
- Flexible date calendars:Explore departure and return‑date calendars to find cheaper days to travel.
- “Anywhere” destination discovery:See low‑fare destinations from a chosen origin when you’re flexible on where to go.
- Hotel search and details:Search hotels by city and dates, then retrieve room‑level pricing, amenities, and availability.
- Rental car search:Find rental cars at or near your destination for specific pickup and drop‑off times.
This server works with any client that supports remote MCP over HTTP.
- Add the Skiplagged MCP URL (https://mcp.skiplagged.com/mcp) in your client’s MCP or “Connectors” settings.
- Enable the server for the project or chat where you want to use it.
- Ask travel questions in plain language; your assistant will call MCP tools when needed.
The snippets below show how to add the MCP server in common tools and editors.

The following examples show realistic prompts and what the server does behind the scenes.
User prompt:“Find the cheapest flights from San Francisco to New York in late October for one adult in economy class.”
- The server callssk_flights_searchwith origin SFO, destination JFK/EWR/LGA, dates in late October, 1 adult, economy class
- Skiplagged returns available itineraries including standard fares and hidden‑city deals
- Results show prices, airlines, layovers, and durations—with links to book on Skiplagged
Example 2: Explore flexible dates to save money
User prompt:“Show me a fare calendar for round‑trip flights from Chicago to Miami around March 15. I can leave a few days earlier or later.”
- The server callssk_flex_departure_calendarto get one‑way fares for nearby departure dates
- Then callssk_flex_return_calendarto find the cheapest return dates that maintain a similar trip length
- Results display a calendar view of prices so you can pick the cheapest travel window
Example 3: Discover cheap destinations anywhere
User prompt:“I’m in Boston and want to fly somewhere warm and cheap in February. Where should I go?”
- The server callssk_destinations_anywherewith origin BOS and dates in February
- Skiplagged returns the cheapest destinations sorted by price
- Results include destination cities, lowest fares, and average temperatures—helping you discover budget‑friendly trips
Example 4: Search hotels and get room details
User prompt:“Find hotels in Barcelona for 3 nights starting January 10 for two adults. Then show me details for the best‑reviewed option.”
- The server callssk_hotels_searchwith location Barcelona, check‑in January 10, check‑out January 13, 2 adults
- Results return available hotels with nightly rates, ratings, and amenities
- For a selected hotel, the server callssk_hotel_detailsto retrieve room‑level pricing, cancellation policies, and photos
- Only request-specific travel inputs are sent to Skiplagged APIs.Depending on the tool, these can include travel locations, dates and times, passenger or room counts, search filters, or a selected hotel identifier. FAQ question text is processed through OpenAI embeddings and Supabase retrieval to find relevant support articles.
- Optional coarse location is used only to suggest an origin airport.When the client supplies coarse location metadata, the server uses its latitude and longitude for that lookup. The tool does not ask the user or model to provide coordinates, and coordinates are not returned in its response.
- Results come from Skiplagged.Pricing, availability, and deal information are provided by Skiplagged and its partners. Always confirm details on skiplagged.com before booking.
- Links use static attribution tags.Skiplagged links may includeutm_source=mcp,utm_medium=ai, andutm_campaign=skiplagged_mcp; these tags do not identify the user or client.
- The MCP server does not require an account.Tool responses do not include user identifiers, account data, ChatGPT conversation history, session identifiers, request identifiers, or telemetry.
- Operational monitoring is limited.The MCP server usesSentryfor errors and performance monitoring with default collection of personally identifiable information disabled. Tool arguments are not intentionally written to application logs.
For MCP-specific data practices, retention, sharing, and user controls, see theSkiplagged Travel Search Privacy Notice. It supplementsSkiplagged’s Privacy Policy. Service terms are available in theTerms of Service.
- Rate limits:The MCP server does not currently enforce strict per‑user rate limits, but very heavy automated usage may be throttled or blocked to protect the service.
- Data freshness:Flight, hotel, and car prices change frequently. Treat results as indicative only and always open the Skiplagged link to confirm the latest price and conditions before booking.
