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:

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:

Four need a signed-in account, over OAuth:

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:

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

What's in this repo

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.
