Seats.aero MCP v2 Server

An MCP v2 server for the Seats.aero partner API. It supports local stdio and Streamable HTTP transports.

Published package: @kwonye/seats-aero-mcp

Requirements

• Node.js 20+

• A Seats.aero commercial partner key or eligible Pro API key

Related MCP server: Award Flight Daily MCP Server

Configuration

export SEATS_AERO_API_KEY='your-key'
export SEATS_AERO_PLAN='pro' # pro or commercial

Optional settings:

export SEATS_AERO_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS=30000
export MCP_HTTP_HOST=127.0.0.1
export MCP_HTTP_PORT=3000
export MCP_HTTP_BEARER_TOKEN='required-for-non-loopback-http'

Pro mode supports cached search, bulk availability, trips, routes, destinations, and cached refresh. Commercial mode supports all of those except cached refresh and adds Live Search. Seats.aero controls eligibility, quotas, and commercial-use permissions.

Run

npm install
npm run build
npm start

Or run the published CLI directly:

npx @kwonye/seats-aero-mcp

The default transport is stdio. To run Streamable HTTP:

npm run start:http

The MCP endpoint is /mcp.

Tools

• seats_aero_cached_search

• seats_aero_bulk_availability

• seats_aero_get_trips

• seats_aero_get_routes

• seats_aero_get_destinations

• seats_aero_refresh_cached_data — Pro only

• seats_aero_live_search — commercial only

Refresh calls return the upstream asynchronous status. Repeat the same availability IDs to poll; do not use IDs returned by Live Search with other endpoints.

Test

npm test

Publishing

Releases are published by GitHub Actions using npm Trusted Publishing (GitHub OIDC), matching the kwonye/yahoo-fantasy-mcp setup. The workflow requires no long-lived npm token and publishes the version represented by the GitHub release tag.

Bootstrap the initial package publication once with an npm-authenticated publish. After the package exists, configure its npm trusted publisher with GitHub owner kwonye, repository seats-aero-mcp, and workflow filename release.yml; then remove any temporary npm token and use Trusted Publishing for subsequent releases.

With npm CLI 11.15 or newer, the trusted publisher can be configured with:

npm trust github @kwonye/seats-aero-mcp \
  --repo kwonye/seats-aero-mcp \
  --file release.yml \
  --allow-publish
