Perplexity

Command-line flight searches with this MCP Server

The `create_offer_request` tool executes instant flight searches directly from your Claude Code terminal. Claude Code runs the Duffel search and pipes the JSON output to command-line utilities like jq. Once you locate a Duffel offer, use `price_offer` inside Claude Code to verify the final cost. This lets you check live Duffel inventory and ticket pricing from your Claude Code terminal session.

Scripted accommodation booking via terminal

The `search_stays` tool finds hotel rooms using simple Claude Code terminal inputs. Claude Code queries the Duffel endpoint, retrieves accommodation details, and uses `quote_stay` to secure pricing. You can script this entire Duffel flow for automated corporate travel booking using Claude Code. Claude Code executes the Duffel `book_stay` tool headlessly, returning the booking confirmation directly to your shell.

Terminal-based flight order operations

The `list_orders` tool displays all active bookings in a clean Claude Code terminal list. You can search, filter, and inspect specific Duffel reservations by running `get_order` in Claude Code. If a traveler cancels, run `cancel_order` inside Claude Code to process the cancellation immediately. You manage full Duffel ticketing lifecycles without leaving your Claude Code terminal.
