Skiplagged MCP: flights, hotels and cars from your AI app
Skiplagged's MCP server searches flights, hotels and rental cars, and builds fare calendars when your dates are flexible. Instead of calling the Skiplagged API yourself, ask Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. ContextGate connects to the public server with no sign-in, lets you switch off the tools a trip doesn't need, and logs each search in Activity.

What ContextGate adds to Skiplagged

- Policies check each search, for example to hide a traveler's name if it slips into a query.
- Activity records every search, so you can look back at the fares your AI app checked.
