Add Your API Key

To use search_flight for fresh seatmap data, add your API key to your MCP config. Get your key from Account Settings.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flightseatmap": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y", "mcp-remote",

      ],
      "env": {
        "FSM_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }

claude mcp add flightseatmap \

Without an API key, all free tools still work. The key unlocks search_flight for fetching fresh data based on your plan.

Available Tools
get_seatmap Free
Retrieve the seat map for any flight from our database. Shows all seats, cabin classes, characteristics, and real-time availability as an interactive visual seatmap.
find_best_seats Free
Find the best available seats matching your preferences — window, aisle, extra legroom, exit row, front or rear of cabin. Renders an interactive seatmap with recommendations highlighted.
get_seat_info Free
Detailed info about a specific seat including characteristics, cabin class, availability, and neighbouring seats in the row.
interactive_seat_finder Free
Guided step-by-step seat finder. Walks you through cabin selection and preferences to find your perfect seat.
search_flight
Fetch fresh seatmap data for any flight. Add your API key to your MCP config (see setup above) or sign in via OAuth. Requires a FlightSeatMap account and uses one search credit.
Interactive UI

FlightSeatMap is one of the first MCP servers to support MCP Apps — interactive HTML interfaces that render inline inside AI conversations. Instead of text-only results, you get a real visual seatmap.

Visual Seat Grid
A realistic aircraft layout with clickable seats. Each seat is color-coded by feature: purple for window, orange for aisle, green for extra legroom. Click any seat to see full details in a slide-out panel.
Cabin Filters
Filter the seatmap by cabin class (First, Business, Premium Economy, Economy) and by seat features (Window, Aisle, Legroom, Exit Row, Available only).
Best Seat Finder
Select your preferences and the widget scores every available seat, highlighting the top picks directly on the map. No need to scroll through rows manually.
Works Everywhere
The interactive UI renders in ChatGPT (via MCP Apps / Connectors), Claude, and any MCP host that supports the ui:// resource protocol. Non-supporting clients still get full text results.
