## Documentation

## What ChinaTravelChina does

ChinaTravelChina exposes travel-catalog tools for mainland China through the Model Context Protocol. The catalog covers published destination cities, attractions, routes, transport corridors, and travel-planning information. An MCP-compatible client can use the service to answer place-specific questions, assemble draft itineraries, and support early-stage trip research.

The service is best suited to applications that need structured information about China destinations rather than live commerce or authoritative eligibility decisions. Its route comparisons, budgets, and itineraries are explicitly illustrative, so they can help shape a plan but should not be treated as current booking data or a final quotation.

## How it works

Clients connect to the hosted MCP endpoint:

`https://chinatravelchina.com/mcp`

Once connected, an agent can search the catalog and then request additional details for selected cities or attractions. Location-based requests can identify published attractions near a supplied latitude and longitude. Planning tools use published cities and attractions to produce a day-by-day draft, while transport comparison works with catalog corridors between two cities.

The travel-requirements tool provides orientation pages and can open a page by name. These pages are informational and do not determine whether a traveler qualifies for a visa or other travel permission. Booking options represent available booking-partner entries, but the feature remains inactive until partner credentials are configured.

## Tools and capabilities

- `search_destinations` searches published destination cities in the catalog.
- `get_destination_details` retrieves a city together with its attractions and routes.
- `search_attractions` searches published attractions.
- `get_attraction_details` returns attraction information and nearby catalog places.
- `compare_transport_routes` compares catalog transport corridors between two cities. Its timings are demo estimates, not live seat or fare data.
- `find_nearby_attractions` searches for published attractions near latitude and longitude coordinates.
- `estimate_trip_budget` provides an illustrative budget in Chinese yuan using demo bands rather than live prices or a quote.
- `generate_itinerary` creates a day-by-day plan from published cities and attractions. It is demo planning only; live AI generation is unavailable.
- `get_travel_requirements` lists travel-requirement orientation pages or opens one by name.
- `get_booking_options` lists booking-partner options. The capability is inactive until partner credentials are configured.

## Limitations and notes

Catalog results are limited to published ChinaTravelChina content. Transport timings are estimates, and budget figures are indicative bands in Chinese yuan. Neither represents live operational or commercial data. The itinerary tool generates planning output from catalog places and does not provide live AI generation.

Travel-requirement pages offer orientation only and cannot decide visa eligibility. Booking-partner options are not active until the required partner credentials are configured, so the service should not be treated as a source of live rates, availability, or completed reservations.
