Can I book flights using this MCP server?

No, this server is for informational and tracking purposes only. It provides flight status, schedules, and airport info. Booking requires a separate commercial integration or using the AA website/app directly.

Which flights are supported?

This API supports American Airlines and American Eagle flights. It provides data for flights operated by AA, including code-share flights where AA is the marketing carrier.

How do I get an API key?

You can register for a free API key at the [American Airlines Developer Portal](https://developer.aa.com/). Once registered, create a new application to generate your key for testing and development.
