Lufthansa Open API

Lufthansa Open API MCP Connector for Claude

A+

The official Lufthansa Open API as an MCP: airport/country/airline reference data, nearest-airports, flight schedules, live flight status by flight or route, and lounge finders — OAuth client_credentials auth.

8 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

The official Lufthansa Open API (Lufthansa Developer Network) as a single MCP server — operational and reference data for the Lufthansa Group (Lufthansa, SWISS, Austrian, Brussels Airlines, Discover).

What you can do

  • Reference data — airports (FRA, MUC, LIS...), countries and airlines by code, with multilingual names, coordinates and time zones
  • Nearest airports — official LH list of airports sorted by distance from any coordinate
  • Flight schedules — the LH Group timetable between two airports for a date window: flight numbers, times, aircraft, days of operation
  • Live flight status — one flight (LH1178 on 2026-09-07) or a whole route between date-times: scheduled/estimated/actual times, gates, delays
  • Lounges — LH Group lounges at an airport filtered by cabin class (First/Business/Economy)

Authentication (from the official Getting Started docs)

  1. Register at developer.lufthansa.com to get a Client ID + Client Secret
  2. The MCP mints a token at POST https://api.lufthansa.com/v1/oauth/token (grant_type=client_credentials, form-encoded) — bearer tokens expire after a limited time and are auto-refreshed here
  3. Every call goes to https://api.lufthansa.com/v1/... with Accept: application/json (XML available in the API if preferred)

Who is this for?

Travel apps, flight-watch and timetable agents, airport/lounge assistants, aviation analysts and anyone building on authoritative Lufthansa Group data.
