What problem does it solve?
Comparing award availability across programs is tedious tab work when you only want a fast answer while planning indie travel on a budget.

Skip if: Travelers without a PointsYeah account and refresh token, or anyone needing guaranteed fares or automated ticketing without human confirmation.

After you set POINTSYEAH_REFRESH_TOKEN, your agent can run PointsYeah-backed search tools for routes and deals during trip research.
- Registered PointsYeah stdio MCP server with authenticated search tools
- Agent-driven award flight and deal queries without leaving the coding environment
- Documented Cognito refresh-token auth for repeat agent sessions
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Idea is the canonical shelf because award-flight research happens before you commit travel spend—discovery and comparison, not shipping product code. Research fits open-ended queries across routes, programs, and deals when a builder is exploring options rather than operating production systems.
How it compares
MCP connector to PointsYeah search APIs, not a full OTA booking skill or generic flight scraper.
