## Description

This MCP gives your AI client a direct line to the Air France-KLM Open Data gateway. Instead of manually checking airline websites, you can ask your agent to pull live flight statuses, check specific routes, or monitor airport boards for any AF/KL hub like Amsterdam or Paris. You get granular details including actual departure and arrival times, terminal information, and even the specific aircraft sub-family being used for a flight. If you are looking for pricing, the MCP can search commercial offers to find flight combinations and fare families between specific city pairs. It supports both the latest v4 status schema and the older v3 endpoints, ensuring your agent gets the specific data structure it needs. To use this, you just need an API key from the AFKL Developer Portal. Once you add your key to the Vinkius dashboard, your agent can start querying live aviation data immediately.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I get access to this MCP?**
You need to register at the AFKL Developer Portal and get an apikey. Once you have that key, you add it to the Vinkius credentials to enable the connection.

**What happens if my API key is inactive?**
If your subscription is not active, the gateway will return a 403 Developer Inactive error.

**Can I search for flight prices?**
Yes, if you have a Commercial Offers subscription on your AFKL key, you can use the search_offers tool to find fares and cabin options.

**Which AI clients can use this MCP?**
This MCP works with any compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

**Does this provide real-time data?**
Yes, it pulls live operational data directly from the Air France-KLM gateway, including actual arrival and departure times.

**How do I get the apikey?**
Register free at developer.airfranceklm.com, create an app, and subscribe it to the Open Data APIs (Flight Status, Commercial Offers). The portal issues an apikey that is sent as the 'apikey' HTTP header. The Free tier has daily request limits; higher tiers need a paid subscription with AF/KL.

**I get 403 'Developer Inactive' — what does it mean?**
The path exists but your apikey is inactive or not subscribed to that product. Check that the app subscription is active in the portal and that the key was copied fully. (A wrong path would instead return 596 'Service Not Found'.)
