For AI agents
- What: unofficial, read-only MCP server (model context protocol) for Flytoday (فلایتودی, flytoday.ir), an Iranian travel site: domestic and international flights, hotels in Iran and abroad, villas and apartments, trains, buses, CIP lounges, eSIMs, visas and activities. Queries work in Persian and English; prices are in Toman.
- Install:
uvx flytoday-mcp or claude mcp add flytoday -- uvx flytoday-mcp. Transport: stdio. Needs Python 3.10+ and uv.
- Auth: none, no API key or account. Optional
FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY (HTTP proxy, or a comma-separated list), only if your network cannot reach flytoday.ir or your IP is rate limited. System proxy settings are ignored.
- Access: read-only. No login, seat hold, booking or payment, so no confirmation is needed before calling any tool. All tools are annotated
readOnlyHint: true.
- Tools: 22, all prefixed
ft_. Start with a find tool (ft_find_airport, ft_find_hotel_place, ft_find_station, ft_find_bus_city) to get ids. Flights: ft_flight_calendar → ft_search_flights → ft_flight_details. Hotels: ft_search_hotels → ft_hotel. Villas: ft_search_stays → ft_stay.
- Units: prices in Toman in fields named
*_toman (visa and some activity prices in a foreign currency, see price_currency); dates Gregorian YYYY-MM-DD, past dates are rejected. search_id and fare_source_code expire after about 15 minutes.
- Use when: comparing flights, hotels, villas, trains or buses on Flytoday, or pricing a CIP lounge, eSIM, visa or activity.
- Do not use when: you need to book or pay (the user does that on flytoday.ir). Searches are rate limited per IP, so prefer calendars and paging over repeated searches.
- Machine-readable:
server.json; catalog of all Iranian MCP servers: iran-mcp (TOOLS.md, servers.json, llms.txt).
Why
Flytoday (flytoday.ir, فلایتودی) sells domestic and international flights, hotels, villas, trains, buses, CIP
lounges, eSIMs and visas. Comparing "which day, plane or train or bus, which hotel" still means many page loads.
An agent with flytoday-mcp does it in one go:
You: Cheapest way from Tehran to Mashhad around 20 October?
Agent: calls ft_flight_calendar(origin="THR", destination="MHD", date="2026-10-21", window="week"),
ft_train_calendar(origin="1", destination="191")
| Flight | 2026-10-20, airline IRZ | 11,056,700 |
| Train | 2026-10-20 (and most days that week) | 760,000 |
The train is far cheaper; want me to list that day's trains with ft_search_trains?
Real tool output from 2026-10-07; prices and seats change all the time. Prices are in Toman.
What it can do
- Flights: domestic and international, one-way or round trip, party prices, airline, direct, charter/system and time filters
- Cheapest day for flights (+-15 days), trains (~16 days) and buses (~6 weeks)
- Fare details: refund and change rules, baggage, international entry notes
- Hotels in Iran and abroad: priced search, room and meal offers with cancellation terms, guest reviews
- Villas and apartments in Iran: price per night and total, per-date calendar with blocked days
- Trains and buses: classes, seats left, stops, amenities, VIP and sleeper buses
- Extras: CIP lounges at IKA and MHD, eSIM data plans per country, visa prices and documents, tours and tickets
- Read-only by design: no login, no seat hold, no booking, no payment
Example prompts:
- "Cheapest day to fly Tehran to Istanbul next month, and the refund rules of that fare?"
- "Hotels in Mashhad for 2 nights from the 21st, cheapest first, with free cancellation."
- "A villa in Ramsar for 4 people next weekend under 5 million Toman a night."
- "Cheapest train from Tehran to Mashhad this week, and where does it stop?"
- "How much is an eSIM for Turkey, and what documents does a visa need?"
- ارزانترین اتوبوس VIP تهران به اصفهان دوشنبه بعد؟
- ارزانترین روز برای پرواز تهران به مشهد در هفته آینده کدام است؟
- قوانین استرداد و بار مجاز این بلیط خارجی چیست؟
- یک ویلا در رامسر برای ۴ نفر آخر هفته زیر ۵ میلیون تومان پیدا کن.

How it works
AI agent (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, ...)
│
│ MCP over stdio
▼
flytoday-mcp (runs on your machine)
│
│ HTTPS (optional proxy)
▼
www.flytoday.ir/api/gateway ──▶ api.flytoday.ir, placesearch.flytoday.ir
flytoday-mcp runs locally and calls the same public gateway the flytoday.ir website uses. There's no hosted
server in between, no API key, and nothing about you is sent anywhere else. Requests go out through a
Chrome-impersonating HTTP client, at most two at a time with a short random pause, and failed calls (timeouts, 5xx,
429) are retried up to twice. Static lookup lists (CIP airports, eSIM countries, visa countries) are cached for 6 hours.
Good to know
- Prices are in Toman in every tool, in fields named
*_toman (the API sends Rial; values are divided by 10).
Flight price_toman is per adult and total_toman the whole party; hotel price_toman is the whole stay (with
per_night_toman); stays give price_per_night_toman and total_toman; trains per adult; buses per seat.
Visa and some activity prices are in a foreign currency (price_currency).
- Dates in and out are Gregorian
YYYY-MM-DD; past dates are rejected. Times are local to the place.
- Flights give
airline (English name) and airline_fa (Persian name, when the API has one).
- Hotels and stays (search rows,
ft_hotel, ft_stay) carry image, the cover photo, built like the site as
<cdn>/<id>/main.jpg (the API has no image field).
- Searches are rate limited per IP by Flytoday: about 15 flight/train/bus searches, and hotel search asks for a
captcha after about 12 searches in 10 minutes (blocked for an hour or more). Use the calendars and paging
(
search_id) instead of searching again; the tools never loop searches.
- Ids expire:
search_id and fare_source_code are valid for about 15 minutes.
- Sales windows: trains open about 16 days ahead. An empty result often just means "not on sale yet".
- When the rail companies' link is down, Flytoday answers HTTP 599;
ft_search_trains retries three times, then says so.
- What it does not do: no booking, seat hold, payment, refund or login, no tour or package search, and no bus seat map.
- Safety: read-only. The only POSTs are searches and price lookups the site itself makes before booking.
At most two requests at a time, and no tool repeats a search in a loop.
- Proxy: set
FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY if your network cannot reach flytoday.ir (see Configuration).
FAQ
Is there a Flytoday API or MCP server for AI agents?
flytoday-mcp is an unofficial MCP server for Flytoday: it exposes the public gateway of the flytoday.ir website
as 22 read-only tools, so an agent can compare flights, hotels, villas, trains and buses.
How do I use Flytoday with Claude, Cursor or Copilot?
Install it with uvx flytoday-mcp (see Quick start), then ask in Persian or English, for example
"cheapest day to fly Tehran to Istanbul next month, and the refund rules of that fare".
Is it official, safe and free?
It is unofficial and MIT licensed, so free to use. It is read-only: no login, no API key, no booking or payment,
and it runs on your machine.
Do I need a proxy?
Usually not: the website's gateway answers from Iran and from abroad. If your network cannot reach
www.flytoday.ir, or your IP is rate limited, set FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY to an HTTP proxy (or a comma-separated list, used one at a time). System proxy variables
(HTTPS_PROXY, ...) are ignored on purpose.
Can it book a ticket for me?
No, and that's deliberate. It has no login and never holds a seat, reserves, orders or pays. The agent finds the
best option; you book on flytoday.ir.
I get "wants a captcha" or HTTP 429
Flytoday limits searches per IP. Wait (the hotel captcha block can last an hour or more) or use another network
through FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY. Calendars, details, reviews and stay searches are not limited.
If Flytoday serves a bot-check page instead, install the browser extra (pip install flytoday-mcp[browser], or
uvx --with patchright==1.63.0 flytoday-mcp) and run patchright install chromium; the server then clears it once
in a headless browser.
Why is there no bus seat map?
The site's seat map comes from the first call of its checkout flow. It is left out until it is clear that the call
holds nothing.
Are prices in Toman or Rial?
Toman. Flytoday's API sends Rial and the tools divide by 10; fields are named *_toman. Visa and some activity
prices are in a foreign currency, shown in price_currency.
How do I debug what the agent sees?
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx flytoday-mcp
Configuration
FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY | unset | Optional HTTP proxy, e.g. http://user:pass@host:port; a comma-separated list is used one at a time (next after a block or connect error). System proxy settings are ignored |
فارسی: سرور MCP فلایتودی
flytoday-mcp یک سرور MCP غیررسمی و فقطخواندنی برای فلایتودی (flytoday.ir)، آژانس مسافرتی آنلاین ایران، است. این سرور به دستیار هوش مصنوعی شما (Claude، Cursor، Copilot و ...) اجازه میدهد در فلایتودی ارزانترین
پرواز داخلی و خارجی، قطار یا اتوبوس را برای یک روز یا یک ماه پیدا کند، قوانین استرداد و بار مجاز را ببیند
و هتلها و ویلاها را با قیمت دقیق مقایسه کند؛ همچنین قیمت CIP، سیمکارت eSIM و ویزا را میگوید.
چه کارهایی میکند
- پرواز داخلی و خارجی، یکطرفه و رفت و برگشت، با فیلتر ایرلاین، پرواز مستقیم و ساعت.
- ارزانترین روز برای پرواز، قطار و اتوبوس (تقویم قیمت).
- قوانین بلیط: استرداد و تغییر، بار مجاز و نکات ورود به کشور مقصد.
- هتل داخلی و خارجی با قیمت دقیق، اتاقها، شرایط لغو و نظر مهمانان.
- ویلا و اقامتگاه در ایران با قیمت هر شب، قیمت کل و تقویم روزهای پر.
- قطار و اتوبوس: کلاس، صندلی خالی، ایستگاهها، امکانات، اتوبوس VIP و تختشو.
- خدمات دیگر: سالن CIP فرودگاه امام و مشهد، بسته اینترنت eSIM، قیمت و مدارک ویزا، تور و بلیت جاذبهها.
نکتهها
- فقط خواندنی است: وارد حساب نمیشود و چیزی رزرو یا پرداخت نمیکند؛ خرید را خودتان در flytoday.ir انجام میدهید.
- همه قیمتها به تومان است (قیمت ویزا و بعضی فعالیتها به ارز خارجی). تاریخها میلادی هستند.
- فلایتودی جستجو را برای هر IP محدود میکند (حدود ۱۵ جستجوی پرواز، قطار و اتوبوس)؛ از تقویم قیمت استفاده کنید و جستجو را تکرار نکنید.
- کلید API لازم نیست و روی سیستم خود شما اجرا میشود. اگر شبکه شما به flytoday.ir نمیرسد، متغیر
FLYTODAY_MCP_PROXY را روی یک پراکسی HTTP بگذارید.
- برای پیدا کردن آن در گوگل یا رجیستری MCP، «سرور MCP فلایتودی»، «بلیط هواپیما»، «بلیط قطار»، «بلیط اتوبوس»، «رزرو هتل» یا «flytoday mcp» را جستجو کنید.
نصب (اول uv را نصب کنید). در Claude Code:
claude mcp add flytoday -- uvx flytoday-mcp
در Claude Desktop، Cursor و بقیه برنامهها همان تنظیم بخش Quick start را بگذارید.
نمونه پرسشها
- «ارزانترین راه رفتن از تهران به مشهد حدود ۲۸ مهر چیست؟»
- «ارزانترین اتوبوس VIP تهران به اصفهان دوشنبه بعد؟»
- «هتلهای مشهد برای دو شب با امکان لغو رایگان، از ارزان به گران.»
