Search & discovery

Search flights by number or route, look up airports, and resolve airlines and airport IDs for follow-up actions.

Trip management

List trips, add or remove flights, create manual flights, rename trips, merge or split trips, and update trip purpose.

Airport context

Check airport details, flightboards, community tips, and delay signals before you travel.

Stats, share & export

Use ChatGPT on the web with a plan that supports custom connectors or developer mode.
Create a remote MCP connector and paste your personal byAir MCP URL.
This setup differs from Claude Desktop or Codex: ChatGPT uses a remote connector flow instead of local JSON configuration.

Ad-hoc HTTP flow

npx mcporter list --http-url "https://api.byairapp.com/mcp?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY" --name byair

Persisted config flow

mcporter config --config ~/.mcporter/mcporter.json add byair https://api.byairapp.com/mcp?api_key=YOUR_API_KEY

Private link, Pro access, instant rotation

Your personal MCP link unlocks your byAir account inside compatible AI tools, so it should be treated like a private credential.

Anyone with this link can access your byAir data through compatible AI tools.
byAir MCP tools execute only for Pro subscribers. Without Pro, requests return a subscription-required error.
If you revoke the link in byAir, previously connected clients stop working immediately.
The canonical byAir MCP setup uses the full remote URL that already includes ?api_key= in your personal link.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get my byAir MCP link?

Open the byAir app, go to Profile → Automations → AI Integration (MCP), and copy the personal link shown there.

Do I need byAir Pro?

Yes. The app can show the MCP link for any account, but MCP tool calls require an active Pro subscription. Without Pro, the server returns a subscription-required error.

Does ChatGPT work the same way as Claude or Codex?

No. ChatGPT support depends on plan and developer mode. As of April 16, 2026, only remote servers are supported, full MCP and write support is in beta for Business, Enterprise, and Edu on ChatGPT web, and Pro users can use read/fetch connectors in developer mode.

What happens when I rotate or revoke my link?

The old link stops working immediately. Any AI client using the previous link must be updated with the newly generated one from the byAir app.
