Seats.aero Cloudflare MCP Server

A TypeScript-based, stateless Remote MCP server for interacting with the seats.aero API via natural language. This server runs on the edge via Cloudflare Workers, providing lightning-fast, highly scalable access to flight availability, routes, and bulk searches.

❗ Prerequisites: You will need a seats.aero Pro API key to use this tool.

🚀 Get Started: One-Click Deploy

You can deploy this server directly to your Cloudflare account in one click:

Once deployed, your MCP server will be live at a URL like: https://seats-aero-cloudflare-mcp.<your-account>.workers.dev/mcp

🔐 Crucial Post-Deploy Step: Add Your Secrets

Because this server acts as a secure proxy to the seats.aero API, you must configure your secrets in the Cloudflare Dashboard before the server will function.

1. Go to your Cloudflare Dashboard > Workers & Pages > seats-aero-cloudflare-mcp.

2. Navigate to Settings > Variables and Secrets.

3. Add the following encrypted variables:

   • SEATS_API_KEY: Your seats.aero Pro API key.

   • MCP_CLIENT_SECRET: A secure password/token you invent to prevent unauthorized access to your edge node.

4. Redeploy your worker to inject the new secrets.

🛠️ Tools Available

The server uses strict JSON Schema enums to prevent LLM hallucinations for mileage programs and cabin classes.

• get_flights: Get a list of flights. Maps to the cached search endpoint.

• get_bulk_avail: Retrieve a large amount of availability objects from one specific mileage program. Maps to the bulk availability endpoint.

• get_routes: Retrieve a list of route objects from one specific mileage program. Maps to the routes endpoint.

💻 Manual Deployment (CLI)

If you prefer to deploy via the command line instead of the one-click button:

1. Clone the repository and install dependencies:

   git clone [https://github.com/olsonbd/seats-aero-cloudflare-mcp.git](https://github.com/olsonbd/seats-aero-cloudflare-mcp.git)
   cd seats-aero-cloudflare-mcp
   npm install

2. Securely store your sectrets using Wrangler:

   npx wrangler secret put SEATS_API_KEY
   npx wrangler secret put MCP_CLIENT_SECRET

3. Deploy to Cloudflare:

   npx wrangler deploy
