google-flights-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

google-flights-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from andreacappelletti97/google-flights-mcp. It costs 1,381 tokens per session, scanned A, original, ISC.

A set of Claude Code instructions for google-flights-mcp, an MCP server that searches Google Flights. It uses Google's internal flight-search endpoint and does not require an API key.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps developers work on flight search, request building, response parsing, caching, retries, price formatting, logging, and price tracking.
Why use it?
It gives contributors project-specific guidance instead of making them infer the architecture and conventions. The instructions describe implementation choices and testing expectations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

google-flights-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

google-flights-mcp

MCP server for searching Google Flights. No API key required — loads Google Flights' public search page (/travel/flights?tfs=...) and reads the result payload it embeds.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
