Award Travel Finder — Claude Code Plugin & MCP Server

Search award flight availability, compare loyalty programs, and find the best points redemptions from your AI assistant. This plugin connects to the Award Travel Finder MCP server, which exposes 127 award-travel tools over a single hosted endpoint.

Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT, Grok, Antigravity, and any MCP-compatible client.

Quick install

Claude Code plugin (recommended)

/plugin marketplace add AwardTravelFinder/mcp
/plugin install award-travel-finder

Gemini CLI / Antigravity

gemini extensions install https://github.com/AwardTravelFinder/mcp

Any other MCP client

Point your client at the endpoint:

https://mcp.awardtravelfinder.com/mcp

For clients that take a config file:

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

Clients with native remote-MCP support (Cursor, Windsurf, ChatGPT developer mode, Grok custom connectors) can use the URL directly without mcp-remote.

Per-client setup guides: awardtravelfinder.com/mcp.

Authentication

The server uses OAuth 2.1 as the MCP spec describes. On your first tool call the client opens your browser to sign in — about 30 seconds, no card. There is no API key.

Do not set an Authorization or X-API-Key header. API-key authentication was retired on 2026-06-07. A leftover static header overrides the OAuth token the client obtained, and every request then fails with 401 even though the sign-in appeared to succeed. If you followed an older version of these instructions, delete the headers block from your config.

A free account covers everyday trip planning. Premium unlocks unlimited searches and every cabin.

What you can do

Ask naturally — the bundled award-travel skill activates on its own when you mention award flights, points, miles, or an airline:

"Find business class from London to New York using Avios"
"Are there any award seats on Cathay Pacific HKG-LHR next month?"
"Which program has the cheapest business class to Tokyo?"
"How many Avios do I need for London to New York in business?"

Or use the slash commands:

/atf:search-flights BA LHR JFK 2026-06-15
/atf:compare-programs british-airways emirates

Task skills

Step-by-step playbooks that run on the Award Travel Finder tools. Claude picks the right one on its own, or you can ask for it by name. Each one needs the Award Travel Finder MCP connector. The same skills show up as MCP prompts (slash commands) in any client that supports prompts. Full list: awardtravelfinder.com/mcp/skills.

`maximize-transfer-bonus`	Is a live transfer bonus worth using, and how many points to move
`check-trip-before-departure`	Pre-flight brief: seat, lounges, wifi, airport waits, reprice check
`hotel-price-drop-rebook`	Track an award hotel stay and rebook when the points rate drops

Coverage

28 airlines can be searched one at a time with search_availability:

British Airways, Qatar Airways, Cathay Pacific, Virgin Atlantic, Iberia, Emirates, Qantas, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, JetBlue, Frontier, Southwest, Delta, Japan Airlines, United, TAP Portugal, Cape Air, Icelandair, Condor, Aer Lingus, El Al, Turkish Airlines, ANA, Lufthansa, Air France, KLM, Etihad, Smiles (GOL).

11 of those are in the search_all_airlines fan-out, which sweeps them together in one call: British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Virgin Atlantic, Iberia, Qatar Airways, Alaska Airlines, JetBlue, Frontier, Southwest, Qantas, Smiles (GOL). Award inventory is genuinely sparse, so a route with no results usually means no seats rather than a broken search.

23 loyalty programs have award-chart data via get_program_rates:

british-airways, qatar-airways, singapore-airlines, cathay-pacific, emirates, etihad, flying-blue, aeroplan, turkish-airlines, ana, jetblue, jet2-emirates, virgin-atlantic, iberia, alaska-airlines, american-airlines, qantas, delta-skymiles, united, lifemiles, marriott-bonvoy, hilton-honors, hyatt.

4 hotel programs for award nights: Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt.

Tools

127 tools in total. The most-used ones:

`search_all_airlines`	Sweep the 9 fan-out airlines in one call

Run tools/list against the endpoint for the full catalogue — it answers without authentication, so you can inspect the server before signing in.
