Airfare Brain MCP server
The true cost of a flight, for AI assistants. Bags, seats, priority boarding, check-in and payment fees on 29 airlines (Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz Air, Jet2, British Airways, Lufthansa, KLM, Air France, Iberia, Turkish, Finnair, SAS, Swiss, Austrian, Delta, United and more), each price taken from the airline's own pages, with the source and the date it was checked.

Why it exists
The fare a flight search shows is not what the trip costs. A cabin bag, a checked bag, a seat next to someone you know, checking in at the airport or paying by card can each add more than the fare itself, and the price goes up if you add them later or at the airport. Airfare Brain reads each airline's published fee pages, records every price with its source and date, and answers with the numbers, so an assistant can say what a flight will really cost.

Tools
Tool | What it answers |
| What is covered, how fees are researched and dated, what it does not do (no live fares, no booking) |
| Every airline with a fee table: name, IATA code, the date its fees were checked, its page |
| One airline's extras (bags, seats, priority, check-in, changes, payment): price range, when bought (at booking / later / at the airport), source URL, date checked |
| Fare + the extras the person chooses, for the whole party and each flight, with what it costs if added later or at the airport |
| The whole trip into one airport: the flight's extras on an airline AND what car hire there really costs (Car Rental Brain's measured median per day), dated and linked |
Ranges are shown exactly as the airline publishes them. A fee the airline does not publish is said to be unknown, never counted as free. Figures from a third party (only where the airline publishes none) are labelled "reported".

How the numbers are made
Each airline's fee pages are read by hand, every value is stored with the page it came from, a short quote and the date, and each table is re-checked monthly (a table past its re-check date is flagged on the site). Travellers can report what they actually paid; those reports are checked against the tables.
Fee pages
The same data as web pages, one per airline (checked bag, cabin bag, seats, with the date and the airline's own source):
Aer Lingus · Air Canada · Air France · Alaska Airlines · American Airlines · Austrian Airlines · British Airways · Delta Air Lines · easyJet · Eurowings · Finnair · Iberia · Jet2 · KLM · Lufthansa · Norwegian · Pegasus · Ryanair · SAS · Swiss · TAP Air Portugal · Transavia · Turkish Airlines · United Airlines · Virgin Atlantic · Volotea · Vueling · WestJet · Wizz Air
Compare all airlines: checked bags · cabin bags · seats. Booking through Kiwi.com: what it adds to bag prices. Flights into 124 airports with the true cost and car hire there.
