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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
