Connect an AI agent to FlightLabs

OAuth lets an agent call the FlightLabs API without pasting your API key. Subscription (trial / paid plan) still happens on your FlightLabs account — OAuth only grants access to that account.

1. Create or use a FlightLabs account

Register and start a free trial (or use an existing subscription): https://www.goflightlabs.com/register

This step creates billing/quota. The agent cannot invent a paid subscription by itself. Free accounts without trial/paid do not get an API key and cannot complete OAuth — they can only try endpoints in the dashboard.

2. Choose how the agent authenticates

• API key — copy access_key from the dashboard (trial/paid only) and send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY. Do not put the key in the MCP URL (Claude Desktop / claude.ai strip it).
• OAuth — the agent sends you to /oauth/authorize; you approve; it receives a Bearer token. Requires trial or paid.

3. OAuth endpoints (for platforms)

• Metadata: /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
• Authorize: https://www.goflightlabs.com/oauth/authorize
• Token: https://www.goflightlabs.com/oauth/token
• Client registration: https://www.goflightlabs.com/oauth/register
• Protected resource: /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource
• Scope: flightlabs.api

There is no Client ID to enter. ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Cursor and other MCP clients register themselves at https://www.goflightlabs.com/oauth/register (dynamic client registration): add the MCP URL https://mcp.goflightlabs.com/mcp, leave the OAuth client fields empty and sign in.

Pre-registered public clients (still valid)

Only needed if your client cannot register itself, or if you already connected with one of these.

Public clients (no secret). Requires a free trial or paid FlightLabs account.

4. Call the API

GET https://www.goflightlabs.com/flights?flightIata=AA217
Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_OR_API_KEY
