Perplexity

Instant flight status monitoring

Stop digging through airline websites for updates. Use `get_fids_relative` to pull current departures and arrivals into your chat thread. Your agent parses the output immediately. It identifies gate changes or timing shifts without you needing to refresh a browser tab.

Historical delay analysis

Look up how an airport performed on specific dates using `get_airport_delays_historical`. This MCP Server gives you raw numbers to back up your travel planning. Compare those figures with `get_flight_delays` to see if a specific route is prone to chronic issues. You get the data in plain text, ready for your report.

Automated alert management

Set up webhook subscriptions for critical updates using `create_flight_alert`. Your agent handles the heavy lifting of tracking your subscriptions via `list_alert_subscriptions`. Keep tabs on your credit balance with `get_alert_balance` so you never miss a notification. It's a hands-off way to watch the skies.
