travel-hacking-toolkit

Exposes travel hacking data (award flight availability, points valuations, redemption opportunities) through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server interface, enabling Claude and other AI agents to query and reason over real-time travel award information without direct API calls. Implements MCP resource and tool schemas to standardize access to heterogeneous travel data sources (airline loyalty programs, award flight databases, points marketplaces).

Provides drop-in Python skills and utilities that Claude Code can directly invoke to analyze award flight options, calculate points-per-mile valuations, and recommend optimal redemption strategies. Skills encapsulate domain logic for comparing cabin classes, routing options, and award availability across multiple airlines, allowing Claude to reason over travel hacking decisions with pre-built domain expertise.

Provides travel hacking skills compatible with OpenCode's skill system, allowing OpenCode agents to access award flight data, points valuations, and redemption logic through OpenCode's native skill invocation mechanism. Implements OpenCode skill schema and lifecycle hooks to enable seamless skill discovery, parameter validation, and result formatting within OpenCode workflows.

Aggregates real-time or near-real-time award flight availability data from multiple airline loyalty programs (United, American, Delta, etc.) into a unified query interface, normalizing different airline award charts, fuel surcharge policies, and availability calendars into comparable data structures. Uses airline API integrations or web scraping to fetch current inventory and presents results ranked by points efficiency and routing optimality.

Calculates dynamic points valuations for different loyalty program currencies based on redemption opportunities, historical pricing, and market data. Implements algorithms to recommend optimal redemption strategies by comparing points-per-mile efficiency across different routes, cabin classes, and airlines, accounting for award chart variations and fuel surcharge policies. Provides valuation metrics that help users decide between cash and points payments.

Integrates with airline and hotel loyalty program accounts to fetch real-time points/miles balances, elite status, and account details. Implements secure credential storage and OAuth/API authentication to loyalty programs, enabling automated balance monitoring and integration with award flight search workflows. Tracks balance changes over time to detect earning opportunities and expiration risks.

Analyzes complex multi-leg award trips to optimize routing, minimize points cost, and maximize value. Implements graph-based routing algorithms to find efficient connections across multiple airlines and loyalty programs, accounting for award chart variations, fuel surcharges, and stopover policies. Recommends itineraries that balance points efficiency with schedule preferences and routing flexibility.

Monitors airline award charts, fuel surcharge policies, and loyalty program rules for changes, automatically detecting updates and alerting users to changes that affect redemption value. Implements periodic scraping or API polling of airline websites to detect award chart modifications, fuel surcharge adjustments, and policy changes, comparing against historical snapshots to identify deltas.

Parses natural language travel queries from users (e.g., 'I want to fly from NYC to Tokyo in business class next month') and routes them to appropriate travel hacking tools and data sources. Implements intent classification and entity extraction to identify travel parameters (origin, destination, dates, cabin class, constraints), then orchestrates downstream tools to fulfill the request. Handles ambiguous or incomplete queries by asking clarifying questions.
