Flight Price Tracker with Email Alerts (FlightClaw)

Use FlightClaw as a flight price tracker from your AI assistant. FlightClaw checks each tracked route once a day and emails the account email when the price drops, so the user can catch cheap flights and then book with AI.

When to use

• The user wants to watch a route and date for a lower fare.
• The user sets a target price and wants an alert.
• The user asks which flights they track, or wants to stop tracking one.

Prerequisites

Connect the FlightClaw hosted MCP server: https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp (streamable HTTP, OAuth sign-in). Nothing to install.

• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http flightclaw https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp
• Cursor: One-click install, or add {"mcpServers":{"flightclaw":{"url":"https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp"}}} to ~/.cursor/mcp.json
• VS Code: One-click install, or code --add-mcp '{"name":"flightclaw","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp"}'
• Claude (web / desktop): Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector > paste https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp
• ChatGPT: Settings > Apps & Connectors > Create (developer mode) > paste https://mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp

If the FlightClaw tools are not available, ask the user to connect the server first.

Tool flow

1. Track. Call track_flight with origin, destination (IATA), date (YYYY-MM-DD) and target_price. Optional: return_date, cabin (ECONOMY, PREMIUM_ECONOMY, BUSINESS, FIRST), adults, currency (3-letter code; defaults to the route's offer currency).
2. List. Call list_tracked to show tracked flights with the last and lowest prices seen. Each item has an id.
3. Stop. Call remove_tracked with the id from list_tracked.
4. Book on a drop. When the user wants to buy, follow the book-flight skill.

How alerts work

• FlightClaw checks each tracked flight once a day.
• It emails the account email when the cheapest bookable total (including the booking fee) is at or below target_price, or drops 10% or more since the last check.
• Alerts compare prices in one currency only.
• Tracking stops after the departure date.
• Each user can have at most 5 active tracked flights.

Rules

• Ask for a target price if the user does not give one. Suggest the current cheapest fare as a starting point.
• Tell the user that alerts go to their account email. Use get_me to show that email if needed.
• If the user already tracks 5 flights, show list_tracked and ask which one to remove.
• Prices include the booking fee (5% + $3, minimum $12).

Example prompts

• "Track LHR to JFK on 1 July and email me if it drops below $450."
• "Watch business class fares from Sydney to Tokyo in November."
• "Which flights am I tracking?"
• "Stop tracking the Lisbon flight."
