Model Context Protocol (MCP) with Gemini 2.5 Pro. Convert conversational queries into flight searches using Gemini's function calling capabilities and MCP's flight search tools
Overview

Gemini Function Calling + MCP Flight Search is a natural language flight search system that utilizes Google's Gemini LLM and Model Context Protocol (MCP) to convert conversational queries into flight searches.

How to use the project?

To use this project, clone the repository, install the required dependencies, set up your environment variables with your API keys, and run the client script to start searching for flights using natural language queries.

Key features of the project?

  • Natural language flight search using Gemini API
  • Automatic parameter extraction via function calling
  • Integration with mcp-flight-search tool via stdio
  • Formatted JSON output of flight results
  • Environment-based configuration for API keys

Use cases of the project?

  1. Finding flights based on natural language queries (e.g., "Find flights from New York to London on June 10")
  2. Integrating flight search capabilities into applications using AI
  3. Automating flight search processes for travel agencies

FAQ from the project?

  • What are the prerequisites for running this project?

You need Python 3.7+, a Google AI Studio API key for Gemini, a SerpAPI key, and the mcp-flight-search package installed.

  • How does the project handle errors?

The integration includes error handling for input validation, API communication errors, tool execution failures, and response parsing issues.

  • Is there a demo available?

Yes, you can see example outputs in the project documentation.

# govql-mcp-server An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for [GovQL](https://govql.us) — gives AI clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor direct access to the US Congressional GraphQL API at [api.govql.us/graphql](https://api.govql.us/graphql) without bespoke HTTP wiring. For the design rationale (why FastMCP-Python, the passthrough+curated philosophy, roadmap through v0.4), see [design.md](https://github.com/govql/govql/blob/main/mcp-server/docs/design.md). ## What you can do with it Ask an agent questions like: - *"How did Vermont's two senators vote on the most recent nomination?"* - *"Which legislators in the 118th Congress switched parties during their service?"* - *"Compare Senator Sanders' voting record to Senator Murkowski's on cloture votes in the most recent Congress."* The agent picks the right tool, writes the GraphQL query against the live schema, and parses the response — no manual API wrangling. ## Install The server runs as a per-client subprocess over stdio. Pick your client: ### Claude Desktop Edit `claude_desktop_config.json` (Settings → Developer → Edit Config): ```json { "mcpServers": { "govql": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["govql-mcp-server"] } } } ``` Restart Claude Desktop. The `govql` tools appear in the tools panel. ### Claude Code Add to `.mcp.json` in your project (or `~/.mcp.json` for global): ```json { "mcpServers": { "govql": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["govql-mcp-server"] } } } ``` ### Cursor Settings → MCP → Add Server. Use the same `command` / `args` as above. ### Other clients Any MCP-compatible client that supports stdio servers will work. The command is `uvx govql-mcp-server` with no required arguments. ## Tools | Tool | Purpose | |---|---| | `execute_graphql` | Run any GraphQL query against the GovQL endpoint. Returns the result plus an `last_ingest` timestamp so the agent can reason about data freshness. | | `list_types` | Returns the names and kinds of every type in the GovQL schema. Optional `kind` filter (`"OBJECT"`, `"INPUT_OBJECT"`, `"ENUM"`, etc.) to narrow further. Start here when you don't know what's queryable. | | `describe_type` | Returns one type's full details — fields, arg signatures, input fields, enum values. Call after `list_types` to learn the shape of a specific type before writing a query. | ## Configuration All env vars are optional — the package is zero-config for end users. | Env var | Default | Purpose | |---|---|---| | `GOVQL_ENDPOINT` | `https://api.govql.us/graphql` | Endpoint to query. Override to point at a local dev stack. | | `GOVQL_TIMEOUT_MS` | `30000` | Per-request HTTP timeout. | | `LOG_LEVEL` | `INFO` | Logging level. Logs go to stderr only (stdout is reserved for the MCP transport). | ## Limits (enforced by the upstream API) - Max query depth: 10 - Max query complexity: ~10 billion points (`first: N` multiplies child cost by N — keep page sizes reasonable on deeply nested queries) - Rate limit: 100 requests / 60 s per source IP A depth or complexity violation surfaces as a GraphQL `errors` entry in the tool response so the agent can adjust and retry. ## Data freshness Every `execute_graphql` response includes a `last_ingest` ISO timestamp. Vote data refreshes hourly; legislator data refreshes daily. ## Status Version 0.1.0 ships three foundational tools: a GraphQL passthrough (`execute_graphql`) and two narrow schema-discovery tools (`list_types`, `describe_type`). Curated higher-level tools (`find_legislator`, `get_voting_record`, `compare_voters`, etc.) are planned for subsequent releases — see [design.md](https://github.com/govql/govql/blob/main/mcp-server/docs/design.md) for the roadmap. ## Links - [GovQL project site](https://govql.us) - [GraphQL API](https://api.govql.us/graphql) - [Source / issues](https://github.com/govql/govql)
