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.
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.

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.
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.
