7. AirHelp MCP Connector
AirHelp has a connector (MCP) for Claude and ChatGPT. Passengers describe a delayed, canceled or denied-boarding flight in their own words and get an eligibility check and an estimated payout, on the same no win, no fee basis as any AirHelp claim.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Purpose | Checks a flight disruption against passenger rights rules and estimates how much compensation a passenger may be owed. |
Rules checked | EC 261, UK 261, Turkish (SHY) and Saudi passenger rights rules. |
Covers | Delays, cancellations and denied boarding. Missed connections on multi-leg trips follow the same flow. |
Does not cover | Bookings, baggage, travel insurance and live flight status. |
Languages | English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Polish, Portuguese and Dutch. Replies come in the language the passenger writes in. |
Account | Not needed to run a check. Needed only to file a claim. |
Result | Eligibility, an estimated payout, the rule it falls under and a button to complete the claim. If a passenger is not eligible, the reason is explained, usually a delay under three hours or a cause outside the airline's control, and the AirHelp app is suggested. |
Claim filing | Always completes on airhelp.com, never inside Claude or ChatGPT. The claim form is pre-filled with the flight, and the passenger adds personal details. The amount shown is an estimate until AirHelp assesses the claim. |
Assistant | How to connect |
|---|---|
Claude | 1. Open Settings, then Connectors, then Discover (or use the + icon in the message box). 2. Search for AirHelp and open the AirHelp flight compensation checker listing. 3. Select Connect to Claude. 4. Start a message with AirHelp whenever you want to bring it in. |
ChatGPT | 1. Search for AirHelp in the plugin directory, through Settings, then Plugins, or the + icon in the message box. 2. Open the AirHelp listing and select Connect. 3. Tag @AirHelp at the start of any message to bring it into the conversation. |
Step | What happens |
|---|---|
1. Describe the flight | The passenger tells the assistant what happened, in their own words. |
2. Confirm airports | Departure and arrival airports are confirmed from suggested matches. |
3. Confirm the date | The scheduled departure date is confirmed, with shortcuts for yesterday and today. |
4. Flight match | The route and date are matched to the exact flight, and a cancellation is flagged. |
5. Cancellation notice | For cancellations, the passenger says how much warning the airline gave. Under EC 261, a cancellation announced less than 14 days before departure usually qualifies for compensation, while more notice can mean nothing is owed. |
6. Result | Eligibility, an estimated payout and the rule that applies, with a button to complete the claim on airhelp.com. |
