Why

Flytoday (flytoday.ir, فلای تودی) sells domestic and international flights, hotels, villas, trains, buses, CIP lounges, eSIMs and visas. Comparing "which day, plane or train or bus, which hotel" still means many page loads. An agent with flytoday-mcp does it in one go:

You: Cheapest way from Tehran to Mashhad around 20 October?

Agent: calls ft_flight_calendar(origin="THR", destination="MHD", date="2026-10-21", window="week"), ft_train_calendar(origin="1", destination="191")

Mode	Cheapest day	Price (Toman)
Flight	2026-10-20, airline IRZ	11,056,700
Train	2026-10-20 (and most days that week)	760,000

The train is far cheaper; want me to list that day's trains with ft_search_trains?

Real tool output from 2026-10-07; prices and seats change all the time. Prices are in Toman.

Quick start

You need uv.

claude mcp add flytoday -- uvx flytoday-mcp

If Flytoday does not answer from your network, add a proxy:

claude mcp add flytoday -e FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY=http://127.0.0.1:8080 -- uvx flytoday-mcp

Settings → Developer → Edit Config, then add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flytoday": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["flytoday-mcp"] }
  }
}

Need a proxy? Add "env": { "FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY": "http://127.0.0.1:8080" } next to args.

Click Install in Cursor above, or add the Claude Desktop block to ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

Click Install in VS Code above, or add to .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "flytoday": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uvx", "args": ["flytoday-mcp"] }
  }
}

It's a standard stdio MCP server: run uvx flytoday-mcp, or pip install flytoday-mcp and run flytoday-mcp.

Then just ask:

• "Cheapest day to fly Tehran to Istanbul next month, and the refund rules of that fare?"

• "Hotels in Mashhad for 2 nights from the 21st, cheapest first, with free cancellation."

• "A villa in Ramsar for 4 people next weekend under 5 million Toman a night."

• ارزان‌ترین اتوبوس VIP تهران به اصفهان دوشنبه بعد؟

How it works

  AI agent  (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, ...)
      │
      │  MCP over stdio
      ▼
  flytoday-mcp  (runs on your machine)
      │
      │  HTTPS (optional proxy)
      ▼
  www.flytoday.ir/api/gateway  ──▶  api.flytoday.ir, placesearch.flytoday.ir

flytoday-mcp runs locally and calls the same public gateway the flytoday.ir website uses. There's no hosted server in between, no API key, and nothing about you is sent anywhere else.

Tools

Each vertical has its own ids, taken from its find tool: IATA codes for flights (THR, MHD, IST), hotel city_id / region_code, stay region_code, train station codes (Tehran 1, Mashhad 191), 4-digit bus city ids (Tehran 0001, Isfahan 0002).

All 22 tools are annotated readOnlyHint: true and return compact structured JSON, so they don't flood the agent's context.

Good to know

• Prices are in Toman in every tool, in fields named *_toman (the API sends Rial; values are divided by 10). Flight price_toman is per adult and total_toman the whole party; hotel price_toman is the whole stay (with per_night_toman); stays give price_per_night_toman and total_toman; trains per adult; buses per seat. Visa and some activity prices are in a foreign currency (price_currency).

• Dates in and out are Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD; past dates are rejected. Times are local to the place.

• Searches are rate limited per IP by Flytoday: about 15 flight/train/bus searches, and hotel search asks for a captcha after about 12 searches in 10 minutes (blocked for an hour or more). Use the calendars and paging (search_id) instead of searching again; the tools never loop searches.

• Ids expire: search_id and fare_source_code are valid for about 15 minutes.

• Sales windows: trains open about 16 days ahead. An empty result often just means "not on sale yet".

• When the rail companies' link is down, Flytoday answers HTTP 599; ft_search_trains retries three times, then says so.

FAQ

Usually not: the website's gateway answers from Iran and from abroad. If your network cannot reach www.flytoday.ir, or your IP is rate limited, set FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY to an HTTP proxy. System proxy variables (HTTPS_PROXY, ...) are ignored on purpose.

No, and that's deliberate. It has no login and never holds a seat, reserves, orders or pays. The agent finds the best option; you book on flytoday.ir.

Flytoday limits searches per IP. Wait (the hotel captcha block can last an hour or more) or use another network through FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY. Calendars, details, reviews and stay searches are not limited.

The site's seat map comes from the first call of its checkout flow. It is left out until it is clear that the call holds nothing.

Configuration

Safety

• Read-only: no login or OTP, no seat hold, reservation, order, payment, refund, review or bookmark. The only POSTs are searches and price lookups the site itself makes before booking.

• At most two requests at a time, and no tool repeats a search in a loop.

فارسی

flytoday-mcp به دستیار هوش مصنوعی شما (Claude، Cursor، Copilot و ...) اجازه می‌دهد در فلای‌تودی ارزان‌ترین پرواز داخلی و خارجی، قطار یا اتوبوس را برای یک روز یا یک ماه پیدا کند، قوانین استرداد و بار مجاز را ببیند و هتل‌ها و ویلاها را با قیمت دقیق مقایسه کند؛ همچنین قیمت CIP، سیم‌کارت eSIM و ویزا را می‌گوید.

• فقط خواندنی است: وارد حساب نمی‌شود و چیزی رزرو یا پرداخت نمی‌کند.

• همه قیمت‌ها به تومان است.

• روی سیستم خود شما اجرا می‌شود و به هیچ سرور واسطی داده نمی‌فرستد.

نصب در Claude Code:

claude mcp add flytoday -- uvx flytoday-mcp

بعد بپرسید: «ارزان‌ترین راه رفتن از تهران به مشهد حدود ۲۸ مهر چیست؟»

Development

git clone https://github.com/sepehr071/flytoday-mcp && cd flytoday-mcp
uv sync
uv run pytest            # offline, against recorded responses
uv run pytest -m live    # real API, one search per tool (set FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY if needed)
uv run ruff check .

Tools live in src/flytoday_mcp/flights.py, hotels.py, trains.py, buses.py and extras.py; each is a typed async function with a docstring that tells the agent when to use it. Issues and PRs are welcome.

Releases: bump the version in pyproject.toml and server.json, then push a v* tag. GitHub Actions tests, publishes to PyPI and the MCP Registry, and creates the GitHub Release.
