Our reading of Flight Search, from the data

Flight Search is a travel & transport MCP server from arjunprabhulal, listed in the official MCP Registry.

We haven't measured its tool list yet, so its token cost is unknown.

With 43 GitHub stars it ranks #21 of 673 travel & transport servers we index.

It runs locally on your machine over stdio and needs one secret (SERP_API_KEY); use a scoped, least-privilege key.
