Claude Code · Setup guide

Award flight search in Claude Code

Claude Code takes remote MCP servers with a header, so your key never appears in a URL. One command and Claude Code can query live award space from any project, or build you a personal award dashboard on top of it.

One key per tool. Revoke any key in AwardClaw and that connection stops at once.

Claude Code questions

Where does my key go?+

In an Authorization: Bearer header, so it never appears in a URL or a log line. You can create a separate key for each tool and revoke any of them on its own.

Can Claude Code use the REST API too?+

Yes. The same key works on /api/v1 with a Bearer header, which is handy when Claude Code writes a script that should run without it.

How do I remove it?+

Run claude mcp remove awardclaw, and revoke the key in AwardClaw if you no longer need it.
