Claude Desktop Integration

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "delta": {
      "command": "striderlabs-mcp-delta"
    }
  }
}

Or with npx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "delta": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@striderlabs/mcp-delta"]
    }
  }
}

Authentication

Some tools (SkyMiles balance, booking management, check-in) require a Delta SkyMiles account. The server persists your session cookies at ~/.striderlabs/delta/cookies.json.

Login flow:

  1. Ask the AI agent to run login

  2. Open the returned URL in your browser

  3. Log in to your Delta SkyMiles account

  4. Run status to verify the session was saved

Flight search and flight status work without authentication.

Example Workflows

Book a Flight

1. search_flights(origin="ATL", destination="LAX", departureDate="2025-07-15")
2. get_flight_details(flightId="0")
3. select_flight(outboundFlightId="0")
4. get_seat_map()
5. select_seats(seats=["24A"])
6. add_bags(bags=1)
7. checkout()              ← returns preview
8. checkout(confirm=true)  ← completes purchase (needs explicit user confirmation)

Check In

1. check_in(confirmationNumber="ABC123", lastName="Smith")
2. get_boarding_pass(confirmationNumber="ABC123", lastName="Smith")

Monitor a Flight

1. get_flight_status(flightNumber="DL 123")

Manage SkyMiles

1. login()
2. get_skymiles()

Safety

The checkout tool requires confirm: true to actually complete a purchase. Without it, the tool returns a preview of the booking details. Never set confirm: true without explicit user confirmation.

The manage_booking cancel action will prompt you to confirm on the Delta website before any cancellation is finalized.

Session Storage

Cookies and session info are stored at:

  • ~/.striderlabs/delta/cookies.json

  • ~/.striderlabs/delta/session.json

Environment Variables

No environment variables are required. Credentials are managed via the browser session stored in ~/.striderlabs/delta/.

Development

git clone https://github.com/markswendsen-code/mcp-delta
cd mcp-delta
npm install
npm run build
node dist/index.js

    TDQS

    A3.8/5.0

    Scored across 17 tools

    Disambiguation4/5

    Most tools have distinct purposes with clear boundaries (e.g., search_flights vs. select_flight vs. get_flight_details). However, some overlap exists: manage_booking includes 'add baggage' functionality, which could be confused with the dedicated add_bags tool, and get_booking vs. manage_booking might cause minor confusion about which to use for viewing details.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    Tool names follow a highly consistent verb_noun pattern throughout (e.g., search_flights, get_booking, add_bags, select_seats). All tools use snake_case with clear, descriptive verbs, making the set predictable and easy to understand.

    Tool Count5/5

    With 17 tools, the count is well-suited for a comprehensive airline operations server. It covers the full booking lifecycle (search, select, checkout), management (get_booking, manage_booking), check-in (check_in, get_boarding_pass), and account features (login, get_skymiles), without feeling bloated or sparse.

    Completeness5/5

    The toolset provides complete coverage for Delta Air Lines operations: flight search and booking (search_flights, select_flight, checkout), booking management (get_booking, manage_booking), check-in and boarding (check_in, get_boarding_pass, get_seat_map, select_seats), flight details and status (get_flight_details, get_flight_status), account management (login, logout, status, get_skymiles), and extras (add_bags, get_trip_extras). No obvious gaps exist for core airline workflows.
