## What it is
Fli is a Python library, CLI, and MCP server that provides programmatic access to Google Flights data by interacting directly with Google Flights' internal API endpoints rather than web scraping. It supports flight search with filters (cabin class, stops, airlines, alliances) and flexible-date cheapest-fare discovery.

## Use cases
- search google flights from python
- find cheapest flight dates for a flexible trip
- give claude a flight search tool via mcp
- track flight prices for data analysis
- search flights from the command line
- build a travel app with flight data

## When to choose
- you need fast, structured Google Flights data without browser automation or HTML scraping
- you want to integrate flight search into AI assistants via MCP
- you need a Python API plus CLI for the same flight search functionality

## When to avoid
- you need booking or ticket purchasing, not just search
- you require an officially supported or guaranteed-stable API, since this relies on reverse-engineered endpoints that may break
- you need non-Google flight data sources or multi-provider fare comparison
