Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
airports
list_airports
List the airports whose duty-free shops SkyBuyFly compares: IATA code, name, city and the shops' store domains, optionally only those matching a text (code, name or city). Relevant for finding an airport's IATA code or answering which airports are covered.
catalogue
get_catalogue_stats
Get the size and freshness of SkyBuyFly's price comparison catalogue: the number of products, the number of airports and when the figures were generated. Relevant when asked how much SkyBuyFly covers.
currencies
list_currencies
List the currencies SkyBuyFly shows prices in (ISO 4217 code, name, symbol). Every price tool takes one of these codes as currency.
featured
get_featured_products
Get SkyBuyFly's featured airport duty-free products with their airport prices, and the most popular catalogue categories. Not personalised. Relevant when a traveller wants inspiration or asks what is popular at duty free.
live
get_live_prices
Check a product's prices live at every airport shop that sells it: SkyBuyFly opens each shop's page now and confirms the current price. Every offer comes back marked live_confirmed (checked just now) or stored (the last observed price, with its date), cheapest first. Takes about 5-15 seconds. Relevant when a traveller wants current prices or is deciding where to buy. A check of the same product within a minute returns the same result; when SkyBuyFly's price service is busy the answer is rate_limited and lists no offers.
lookup
lookup_barcode
Find the SkyBuyFly product that carries a barcode (the digits of an EAN-8, UPC-A, EAN-13 or GTIN-14, e.g. read from a box or a photo) with its price at each airport shop that has an offer for that code, and when it was seen. An empty list means no airport shop SkyBuyFly compares sells it. It does not search by name.
price
get_price_history
Get a product's observed prices per airport over time: SkyBuyFly's 50 most recent observations (the answer says which dates they cover), as each airport's price changes, with the lowest and latest price. Relevant when a traveller asks whether a price is good, has changed or how it developed. It does not check current prices.
product
get_product
Get one SkyBuyFly product by its product_id: its description and size, every stored offer per airport shop (the shop's own price, the price in the requested currency, when it was observed, a link to the SkyBuyFly deal page) and similar products. Relevant when a traveller wants every airport and shop for one product. The prices are stored observations; this tool does not check them live.
products
search_products
Search SkyBuyFly's price comparison of airport duty-free shops by product name, brand or category. Returns one card per product with its price at every airport shop that sells it (cheapest first, in the requested currency), its lowest price (an airport's or an online shop's), its product_id and a link to its SkyBuyFly page. Relevant when a traveller asks what something costs at airports, where it is cheapest, or whether an airport sells it. With airports (IATA codes) it returns only the products listed at every one of them, each card showing those airports' prices. Prices are the latest stored observations, each with its date; this tool does not check them live.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is SkyBuyFly working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 35 of 35 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 26 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect SkyBuyFly?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does SkyBuyFly need an API key?
No. SkyBuyFly completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is SkyBuyFly?
It answers our handshake in 26 ms on average, which is faster than 99% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
