Well I have had the problem of "I want to find the cheapest flight that leaves during this range of dates, and returns during this range of dates, but isn't early in the morning or late at night, and includes additional fees for the luggage I need in the price comparison" and current search tools can't do that very well. I'm not very optimistic WebMCP would solve that though.

matrix.ita does this very well, and has been doing so for nearly 3 decades.

  Do you mean this website? https://matrix.itasoftware.com https://matrix.itasoftware.com I dind't know about it, just checked it out for a flight I'll buy soon, and has almost no direct flights which I know exist because they're on skyscanner...

    In particular, you can come up with fairly complex search expressions in the "routing". In the early days the site was implemented using Lisp.

      Fairly complex? I'm telling you it's missing direct flights.

That's what everyone wants, and if everyone can easily find it, it'll be worse than getting tickets for Taylor Swift.
