Have you ever wished searching for flights could be as quick as typing a command—without opening a browser or wading through clunky UIs? I recently set up a super-smooth flight search right in my PowerShell terminal using Claude Code Terminal, MCP integration, and the Kiwi MCP server.
Why it’s awesome:
- You only enter cities to search between—just like chatting.
- It guides you interactively: select departure date, trip type, number of passengers, and cabin class with a few clicks (no extra typing).
- Results are displayed in an organized, user-friendly table, with timelines and clear breakdowns.
- Flights are classified by time, cost, and convenience. You can view information on stops and connecting flights.
- Each option includes a direct booking link—so you can go straight to purchase with one click.
- All of this happens in your terminal, in just a few moments.
What You Need
- Claude Code Terminal
- MCP Integration
- Kiwi MCP Server
How to Set It Up
- Install Claude Code Terminal:
irm https://claude.ai/install.ps1 | iex
- Set your Anthropic API key as an environment variable:
-
PowerShell:
$env:ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = "your-api-key-here" -
Bash:
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
- Add the Kiwi.com flights MCP server:
claude mcp add kiwi-com-flights --transport http https://mcp.kiwi.com
- Start the Claude terminal:

That’s it! You now have a streamlined, interactive flight search tool—right in your terminal.
If you travel often or value efficiency, this setup is a total game changer.
