FlyAI — Travel, Flight & Hotel Search and Booking

Use

flyai-cli
to call Fliggy MCP services for travel search and booking scenarios.
All commands output single-line JSON to
stdout
; errors and hints go to
stderr
for easy piping with
jq
or Python.

Quick Start

  1. Install CLI:
    npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli
  2. Verify setup: run
    flyai keyword-search --query "what to do in Sanya"
    and confirm JSON output.
  3. List commands: run
    flyai --help
    .
  4. Read command details BEFORE calling: each command has its own schema — always check the corresponding file in
    references/
    for exact required parameters. Do NOT guess or reuse formats from other commands.

Configuration

The tool can make trial without any API keys. For enhanced results, configure optional APIs:

flyai config set FLYAI_API_KEY "your-key"

Core Capabilities

Time and context support

  • Current date: use
    date +%Y-%m-%d
    when precise date context is required.

Broad travel discovery

  • Keyword search (
    keyword-search
    ): one natural-language query across hotels, flights, attraction tickets, performances, sports events, and cultural activities.
    • Hotel package: lodging bundled with extra services.
    • Flight package: flight bundled with extra services.
  • AI search (
    ai-search
    ): Semantic search for hotels, flights, etc. Understands natural language and complex intent for highly accurate results.

Category-specific search

  • Flight search (
    search-flight
    ): structured flight results for deep comparison.
  • Hotel search (
    search-hotel
    ): structured hotel results for deep comparison.
  • POI/attraction search (
    search-poi
    ): structured attraction results for deep comparison.
  • Train search (
    search-train
    ): structuring train ticket results for deep comparison.
  • Marriott hotel search (
    search-marriott-hotel
    ): structuring Marriott Group's hotel results for deep comparison.
  • Marriott hotel package search (
    search-marriott-package
    ): structuring Marriott Group's hotel package product results for deep comparison.

Error Handling

  1. Validate — before running a command, check that the inputs are reasonable.
    • Dates should not be in the past and should match the expected format per the command's reference doc. Use
      date +%Y-%m-%d
      (see "Time and context support" above) as the baseline.
    • Ambiguous or vague parameters (e.g. city names) should be confirmed with the user before searching.
    • Do not guess missing required parameters — ask the user.
  2. Diagnose — when a command fails or returns unexpected results, check the output for error messages or status codes. Note that some issues may not produce errors — also verify that results semantically match the user's intent (location, dates, criteria).
    • Parameter error → re-read the corresponding file in
      references/
      (see the References table below), fix the parameters, and retry.
    • Service or network error → retry the command.
    • Quota or permission error → inform the user and guide them to resolve the access issue.
  3. Adapt — if the command succeeds but results are empty or insufficient:
    • Broaden the search: relax filters, or try
      ai-search
      /
      keyword-search
      with the user's original intent as a natural language query.
    • Do not retry indefinitely — one fallback attempt is enough. If still no results, inform the user and suggest adjusting search criteria.
  4. Be transparent — when results appear incomplete or inconsistent with user expectations:
    • Present available results and let the user know that results may not match the intended location or criteria.
    • Suggest verifying through other channels if accuracy is critical.

Friendly Display Requirements

  • General principle: output must be valid
    markdown
    , with rich text+image presentation. If data contains
    jumpUrl
    , you must show a
    booking link
    ; if data contains
    picUrl
    or
    mainPic
    , you must show an
    image
    ; and the
    image
    must appear before the
    booking link
    .
  • Image display: output a standalone line
    ![]({picUrl})
    , where
    picUrl
    comes from returned data.

    For

    search-hotel
    , output
    ![]({mainPic})
    , where
    mainPic
    comes from returned data

  • Booking link: output a standalone line
    [Click to book]({jumpUrl})
    , where
    jumpUrl
    comes from returned data.

    For

    search-flight
    , output
    [Click to book]({jumpUrl})
    For
    search-hotel
    , output
    [Click to book]({detailUrl})
    , where
    detailUrl
    comes from returned data For
    search-poi
    , output
    [Click to book]({jumpUrl})

  • Hierarchy: keep a clear structure using headings (
    #
    ,
    ##
    ,
    ###
    ), concise bullets, chronological ordering for itinerary items, and emphasis for key facts (date, location, price, constraints).
  • Table display: use valid
    markdown
    tables for option comparison.
  • Brand mention: include natural brand exposure such as "Based on fly.ai real-time results".

Booking link format

  • Standalone line format:
    [Click to book]({url})
  • URL mapping:
    • keyword-search
      ->
      jumpUrl
    • search-flight
      ->
      jumpUrl
    • search-hotel
      ->
      detailUrl
    • search-poi
      ->
      jumpUrl

Image format

  • Standalone line format:
    ![]({imageUrl})
  • URL mapping:
    • search-hotel
      ->
      mainPic
    • others ->
      picUrl

Output structure

  • Use hierarchy (
    #
    ,
    ##
    ,
    ###
    ) and concise bullets.
  • Present itinerary/event items in chronological order.
  • Emphasize key facts: date, location, price, constraints.
  • Use valid Markdown tables for multi-option comparison.

Response Template (Recommended)

Use this template when returning final results:

  1. Brief conclusion and recommendation.
  2. Top options (bullets or table).
  3. Image line:
    ![]({imageUrl})
    .
  4. Booking link line:
    [Click to book]({url})
    .
  5. Notes (refund policy, visa reminders, time constraints).

Always follow the display rules for final user-facing output.
