Perplexity

Run terminal-based flight tracking with `get_flight_status`

The `get_flight_status` tool gives Claude Code the power to track American Airlines flights directly from your command line. You can pipe the live status output into greps, scripts, or cron jobs to monitor delays without opening a browser. This setup is perfect for terminal-bound developers who need quick updates. Your agent pulls real-time gate changes and departure times with a single terminal command.

Export route data using this CLI-ready MCP Server

The `get_flight_schedule` tool allows Claude Code to extract flight routes, aircraft models, and arrival windows as clean terminal output. You can direct this data into local JSON files or database seeding scripts. It simplifies building automated travel feeds. The agent queries the schedule database and formats the output so you can pipe it into other command-line utilities.

Check hub layouts via command-line tools

The `get_airport_info` tool provides terminal maps and gate details for American Airlines hubs directly in your shell. Claude Code retrieves the layout of any terminal so you can plan connections while working SSH sessions. No GUI is required to find terminal amenities. Your agent parses the layout information and displays it as structured text in your terminal window.
