Voyscout - my flight and holiday price tracker for Czechia and Central Europe

It has been a while since my last post. Most of my free time went into a side project, and it is finally in a state I am happy to share: Voyscout - a price tracker for flights and package holidays, built for travelers from Czechia and Central Europe.

Česká verze článku: Voyscout - hlídač cen letenek a zájezdů.

Why I built it

Every year the same story. We plan a family trip and I end up with twenty browser tabs, trying to answer one simple question: is this price actually good, or does it just look good?

Holiday marketing does not help. “-40 %” from a price nobody ever paid, “last 2 rooms”, a catalog price that grows at the checkout. And most flight deal services are built for a solo traveler with a backpack, not for a family of four with checked bags and a fixed school holiday window.

I wanted a personal deal hunter. Something that knows who is traveling, watches prices every day, and tells me honestly when to buy and when to wait. I did not find one, so I built it.

What Voyscout does

  • Watches prices daily - flights and package holidays, each route with its own price history.
  • Shows the real price for your profile - a family sees the total including airport transfer, food and bags. A solo traveler sees the bare fare without pointless add-ons.
  • Gives a verdict: BUY, WAIT or WATCH - based on where today’s price sits in the measured history. Percentiles instead of adjectives. “Cheap” only means something compared to real data.
  • No fake discounts, no made-up urgency - when the honest answer is “wait”, it says wait.

New routes start as WATCH and the verdict matures with data: WAIT after about a week of daily scans, BUY after roughly two. The real prices are visible from the first scan.

Voyscout does not sell anything. You always buy from the airline or the travel agency. Some links may carry an affiliate code, but that never affects the verdict. WAIT earns nothing and it still gets said. More about the approach is on the About Voyscout page.

The free tier covers 3 traveler profiles and 5 scans a day. The site is available in Czech and English.

MCP server for AI assistants

Because I spend my days around AI tooling anyway, Voyscout also has a public MCP server. It lets your AI assistant query the measured price history directly:

https://voyscout.com/mcp

It is read-only, needs no registration, and the data is licensed under CC BY 4.0. It exposes tools like list_destinations, price_history and current_vs_history. It returns historical observations only - no live quotes and no buy recommendations.

Add it to Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http voyscout https://voyscout.com/mcp

In Claude (web or desktop) go to Settings - Connectors - Add custom connector and paste the URL. It is plain JSON-RPC 2.0 over POST, so curl works too:

curl -s -X POST https://voyscout.com/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}'

Then ask something like “how did package prices to Egypt move over the last months” or “compare Greece and Turkey by price history”. The answer is based on measured data points, not on a feeling.

The server is listed in the official MCP Registry as com.voyscout/price-history. Details are in the Voyscout blog post: Plug price history into your AI assistant.

Try it

It is a small project built and run by one person, for my own family trips first. I hope it will be just as useful for other travelers and families.

Give it a try at voyscout.com. Feedback is very welcome.

Curious how a one-person project like this gets built and operated? It is mostly vibe-coded, with a lot of engineering around the agents. I wrote it up in AI SDLC road to Voyscout.
