MCP support
Exposes airport, flight, and travel information tools to MCP clients through a hosted server. Some tools require an account, and premium access unlocks forecasts, history, and live wait data.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Skills
The skills/ folder has agent skills that tell an assistant which tools to call, in
which order, for common travel questions. Claude Code and Codex load them with the plugin.
| Skill | Use it for |
|---|---|
flightqueue-trip-day | When to leave for the airport: best arrival time, queue, delays, weather, terminal, lounge |
flightqueue-ees-schengen | EES border queues now and in 24h, and the Schengen 90/180-day check |
flightqueue-compare-airports | Which airport to fly from: waits, delays and weekly patterns side by side |
flightqueue-baggage | Carry-on and checked-bag rules, and which airlines lose the fewest bags |
flightqueue-crowd-reports | Read traveller wait reports, and share a wait only with the user's consent |
Ask it things like
- "What is the security wait at JFK right now?"
- "I have an 8am flight from ORD tomorrow, when should I arrive?"
- "Are there any FAA ground stops today?"
- "How long is the EES border queue at Lisbon?"
- "Which airline loses the fewest checked bags?"

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
