Airport intelligence for your AI. TSA wait times, predictions, FAA delays, baggage stats & live data for 8,000+ airports — directly inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Transport Streamable HTTP
Auth OAuth 2.1
Status Online
🎫
Sign in once with OAuth — your AI assistant opens a flightqueue.com login window, you click Allow, and you’re done. Any signed-in account gets the airport info tools; a premium plan unlocks 24h forecasts and live wait times. See pricing →
🤖
Headless agent (no browser)? Skip OAuth. An autonomous agent can sign itself up for a free fqagent_ key in one HTTP call and use it against the REST API or the @flightqueue/cli. Quickstart →
Setup

One-click via OAuth — Claude.ai walks you through sign-in.

  1. Open claude.ai → Settings → Connectors
  2. Click Add custom connector
  3. URL: https://mcp.flightqueue.com/mcp
  4. Save — Claude opens a flightqueue.com login window. Sign in and click Allow.
  5. FlightQueue tools appear in the connectors menu inside any chat.

Claude Desktop talks to remote MCP servers through the mcp-remote bridge, which handles the OAuth handshake for you. Open Settings → Developer → Edit Config and add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flightqueue": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.flightqueue.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. A browser window opens for sign-in on first launch; after that, FlightQueue tools appear in the tools menu.

Run in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http flightqueue https://mcp.flightqueue.com/mcp

Claude Code triggers the OAuth flow on first use — sign in to flightqueue.com, click Allow, and the tools are ready.

  1. Enable Developer mode in ChatGPT settings
  2. Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector
  3. URL: https://mcp.flightqueue.com/mcp
  4. Save — ChatGPT opens a flightqueue.com login window. Sign in and click Allow.

Cursor: Settings → MCP → Add new global server. Windsurf: Settings → Cascade → MCP → Add custom server. Both clients route OAuth through the mcp-remote bridge:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flightqueue": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://mcp.flightqueue.com/mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Sign-in opens in your browser on first connect. See Cursor MCP docs or Windsurf MCP docs for the latest config path.

What you can ask

Drop these straight into Claude or ChatGPT once the server is connected.

Answers you can read at a glance

Most tools return an interactive display as well as text, using the MCP Apps extension. Ask about a wait time and you get a chart, not a paragraph of numbers. It renders inside the chat and follows your client’s light or dark theme.

Supported in Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, VS Code, Goose and MCPJam. Clients without MCP Apps support are unaffected — they get the same text response as before.

Available tools

22 tools. Tier is read from your flightqueue.com account at sign-in. Free tools work on every plan; Paid tools require an active subscription.
