Is now a good time to book JFK to London for 14 November?
google_travel_flights · 200 OK sample call
No. Google calls the current level high.
The lowest fare on the route today is $649, against a typical band of $475 to $570.
Google's price history for the route backs that up: $649 is well above where it has been sitting.

What does a one-way JFK to London on 14 November cost in euros?
google_travel_flights · 200 OK sample call
€255, and the top five all sit at the same fare.
Fifteen more alternatives, also from €255. On this route the one-way price is flat across carriers.
That is the fare Google quotes in euros for that market, not a conversion.

Which JFK to London flight on 14 November has the lowest CO2?

Free on GitHub, paid in hours

Anyone can clone a free MCP to scrape Google Flights. Whether that stays free depends on the shape of your project.

Self-hosted costs and hours are illustrative budgets for one custom scraper. Engineering time is separate from infrastructure spend.

FAQ

Before you wire it in

Do I need a Google account or an airline API key?

No. The only credential is your HasData key. The tool reads the public Google Flights results a signed-out visitor sees, so there is no GDS contract or airline programme involved.

Why does a flight search cost more than a page read?

Because Google assembles the itineraries behind an interactive interface, and that takes more than fetching a page. The table above states the credits per successful call, and a failed call is not billed.

Can I book through it?

No. Every tool on this server is read-only. A response carries a bookingToken, which identifies the itinerary for a follow-up lookup, not a reservation you can create through us.

How do I search a multi-city trip?

Set type to multiCity and pass the legs in multiCityJson. For a simple return, roundTrip with returnDate is enough.

How fresh are the fares?

Every call fetches at that moment, so a fare is the one on screen right now. Airline pricing moves through the day, which means a fare quoted an hour ago may already be gone. Nothing is served from a cache.

How many calls can run in parallel?

One on the free tier, five on Startup, fifteen on Basic, and fifty on Growth. The larger Growth volumes raise it to 200, 300 and 500.

What happens when I run out of credits?

Nothing is charged on top of the plan. Calls stop until the billing cycle renews.

Does it work with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code and Claude Code?

Yes, all four, plus anything else that speaks MCP over streamable HTTP. Claude Desktop connects through OAuth, and the rest take the URL and an API key header.

Is HasData affiliated with Google?

No. HasData is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Google LLC. Google Flights is a trademark of its respective owner.
