Map out layovers with Windsurf and `get_airport_info`

The `get_airport_info` tool gives Windsurf Cascade immediate access to terminal maps and amenities at any American Airlines hub. Instead of manual lookups, Cascade reads your flight details, grabs the layout for DFW or CLT, and identifies the exact gate locations. You get a clear picture of your connection window without leaving your editor. Cascade calculates walking times between terminals based on live airport layouts so you never miss a flight.

Build dynamic itineraries using this MCP Server

The `get_flight_schedule` tool feeds American Airlines flight numbers, aircraft types, and service classes directly to your workspace. Cascade takes this raw schedule data and builds custom travel plans, comparing routes to find the best departure windows. It handles the heavy lifting of parsing connection times automatically. Your agent maps out alternative flights if your primary choice is fully booked, saving you from manual searches.

Track real-time delays during active development

The `get_flight_status` tool provides live tracking data for any American Airlines flight directly inside your IDE. Cascade monitors active flights in the background, updating you on delays or gate changes while you write code. This means you get immediate alerts without switching context. Running status checks with flight numbers and dates keeps your itinerary accurate up to the minute.
