Third-party catalogue
15 travel MCP servers we would put in front of a developer. We point at them and do not host, proxy, or take a cut. Status comes from our own scheduled probe, so a server that stopped working says so.
Servers that scrape a site whose terms forbid it are excluded, however useful they look. Partner-gated servers are listed and labelled, because a developer who already holds that contract wants to know they exist.

Booking.com Demand API unknown official
Booking.com · curated 4.5/5 · auth: partner
The official Booking.com server over their Demand API: accommodation and room search, attractions, car hire and flights. The widest licensed hotel inventory available over MCP, and the only route to it that does not involve scraping.
hotelsactivities-toursground-ancillariesflights-search
3 caveats
- Partnership agreement required. There is no trial key.
- Rate limited with HTTP 429; back off rather than retrying tightly.
- The affiliate ID forms part of the endpoint URL, so it differs per partner.
claude mcp add --transport http booking https://demandapi-mcp.booking.com/v1/mcp/YOUR_AFFILIATE_ID --header "Authorization: Bearer $BOOKING_DEMAND_API_TOKEN"Google Maps Grounding Lite unknown official
Google · curated 4.0/5 · auth: api_key
Places search, weather and route computation from Google Maps. Useful for turning a vague destination into somewhere real, and for the driving and transit times between two points a traveller is comparing.
activities-toursground-ancillaries
3 caveats
- Billed per call against a Maps Platform SKU. Not free.
- 300 requests per minute per tool.
- Their terms forbid caching the returned content and require Maps attribution to travel with anything you show. Plan your UI around that before you build on it.
claude mcp add --transport http gmaps https://mapstools.googleapis.com/mcp --header "X-Goog-Api-Key: $GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY"iVisa entry requirements unknown official
iVisa · curated 4.0/5 · auth: none
Entry rules by passport and destination, with the visa or eTA product needed to satisfy them. Answers the question every travel agent gets asked and most servers answer by guessing.
visa-docs
2 caveats
- Entry rules change without notice and carry real consequences. Treat the answer as a strong pointer and send the traveller to the official source.
- Commercially motivated: it will recommend its own visa service.
Kiwi.com flight search unknown official
Kiwi.com · curated 4.0/5 · auth: none
Official flight search from Kiwi.com, strong on virtual interlining -- itineraries stitched from carriers that do not interline with each other. One tool, and booking happens on their site via a deep link rather than through the server.
flights-search
3 caveats
- A prototype by the vendor's own description; no uptime commitment.
- Search only. Booking is a hand-off to kiwi.com.
- Self-transfer itineraries carry their own missed-connection risk. Say so to travellers.
claude mcp add --transport http kiwi https://mcp.kiwi.comDeutsche Bahn timetables unknown community
community · curated 3.5/5 · auth: api_key
Built on Deutsche Bahn's official open APIs, so no scraping. The most useful rail server for central-European journeys, which is exactly where our own desks send people onward by train.
rail
3 caveats
- Timetables and live status only. It does not sell tickets.
- Coverage is German rail; cross-border results thin out quickly.
- No official Trainline server exists, and the scraper-based alternatives are not listed here.
Expedia Group partner server unknown official
Expedia Group · curated 3.5/5 · auth: partner
Expedia's partner-facing server, complementing their Rapid API. Their separate consumer connector is aimed at travellers inside a chat client rather than at developers building their own agent.
hotelsflights-searchground-ancillaries
2 caveats
- Partner agreement required for the B2B server.
- The consumer connector is not a substitute: it is built for a person chatting, not for your agent's own OAuth.
Flightradar24 live flight status unknown official
Flightradar24 · curated 3.5/5 · auth: api_key
Live aircraft positions and flight status from the vendor. Pairs naturally with disruption advice: knowing an inbound aircraft is still two hours away tells a traveller more than the departure board does.
disruption-claimsflights-search
2 caveats
- Paid, and priced for business use.
- Position data is not the same as the airline's official status; airlines dispute it.
Sabre agentic APIs unknown official
Sabre · curated 3.5/5 · auth: partner
Sabre's own server over their agentic APIs: shopping, booking and servicing at GDS scale. Listed because a developer who already has a Sabre contract should know it exists. We do not rebuild what a GDS already does.
flights-searchflights-bookinghotels
3 caveats
- Enterprise sales cycle, not a signup form.
- Transport and authentication are not publicly documented; your account team supplies both.
- This one can actually issue tickets. Keep it well away from an unsupervised agent.
TourRadar multi-day tours unknown official
TourRadar · curated 3.5/5 · auth: none
Vendor server for multi-day organised tours and adventures. Fills a gap our own desks do not cover: the traveller who wants a fortnight arranged for them rather than a flight and a hotel.
activities-tours
2 caveats
- Multi-day tours only. Not day trips or single activities.
- Departure availability moves fast in peak season; confirm before promising a date.
Travelport TripServices unknown official
Travelport · curated 3.5/5 · auth: partner
Travelport's MCP layer over TripServices, rolling out through agency platforms. The second GDS route worth knowing about, and the one already deployed across several hundred agencies.
flights-searchflights-bookinghotels
2 caveats
- Not self-serve.
- Availability depends on your agency platform having enabled it.
Amadeus self-service (community) unknown community
community · curated 3.0/5 · auth: api_key
Community server over the Amadeus Self-Service APIs. Amadeus publishes no MCP server of their own; their announced developer toolkit is a different thing and was waitlisted at the time of review.
flights-searchhotels
3 caveats
- Explicitly unaffiliated with Amadeus.
- Test environment data is cached and incomplete; do not judge coverage from it.
- Self-service content is thinner than the enterprise Amadeus offering.
Apaleo property management unknown official
Apaleo · curated 3.0/5 · auth: oauth
Vendor server over a cloud hotel PMS. Not for finding a room: this is for operators who run properties on Apaleo and want an agent reading their own reservations and availability.
hotels
2 caveats
- Alpha. Expect breaking changes.
- Operator-facing. It answers nothing useful for a traveller shopping for a room.
Duffel flight search (community) unknown community
community · curated 3.0/5 · auth: api_key
Community servers over the Duffel API, which is the most approachable route to real NDC flight content and ticket issuance without an airline relationship of your own. Duffel publishes no server themselves, so pick your maintainer with care.
flights-searchflights-booking
3 caveats
- Community maintained. Read the code before you trust it with a live token.
- Some variants can book and pay. Check which tools a build exposes before installing it.
- Duffel's own test mode is the right place to start.
Peek activities and experiences unknown official
Peek · curated 3.0/5 · auth: api_key
Vendor server for bookable local activities and experiences. Day-trip scale, where TourRadar is multi-day, so the two sit side by side rather than compete.
activities-tours
2 caveats
- Strongest in North America; thin elsewhere.
- Availability is per time slot, so quotes go stale within hours.
Treppy travel insurance unknown official
Treppy · curated 3.0/5 · auth: api_key
Multi-carrier travel insurance quotes. The only insurance server we found with a documented API behind it, and insurance is the ancillary travellers ask about most often once a trip is settled.
ground-ancillaries
2 caveats
- Insurance is regulated advice in most markets. Quoting is not the same as recommending, and an agent should not be doing the latter.
- Carrier coverage varies sharply by country of residence.
