    From the README

    A powerful Python library that provides programmatic access to Google Flights data with an elegant CLI interface. Search flights, find the best deals, and filter results with ease.

    🚀 What makes fli special? Unlike other flight search libraries that rely on web scraping, Fli directly interacts with Google Flights' API through reverse engineering. This means:

    • Fast: Direct API access means faster, more reliable results
    • Zero Scraping: No HTML parsing, no browser automation, just pure API interaction
    • Reliable: Less prone to breaking from UI changes
    • Modular: Extensible architecture for easy customization and integration

    Note: Replace <user> with your actual username. You can also find the path to the MCP server by running which fli-mcp in your terminal.
