autonomad-travel

Autonomad is a free, social travel platform for people — and a booking tool for AI agents. Plan and book real flights, hotels, activities, and events — personalized to your taste and shared with fellow travelers. Free for human travelers — no subscription.

Ways travelers use Autonomad (all free):

• 📱 iPhone app — Apple App Store
• 🤖 Android app — Google Play
• 🌐 Web app — autonomad.ai, installable as a PWA
• 💬 Connector inside Claude and ChatGPT — this MCP server, hosted at mcp.autonomad.ai/mcp
• 🕶️ Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses — look at any place and instantly pull up nearby hotels, experiences, and events to book, ranked by distance

Personalized by your Travel DNA. Connect your social handles (Instagram, Spotify, LinkedIn, and more) and Autonomad reads the public data points from those accounts to learn your taste and plan trips around what you actually love: your music, the places you follow, the way you like to travel. Linking accounts is optional and only public signals are used.

It's a social platform, not just a booking tool. After you book, Autonomad drops you into destination lounges with other travelers heading to the same place around the same dates — swap tips, meet up, match with people who share your vibe, and turn every trip into a shared experience.

Group Trip Democracy. Planning with friends? Start a group trip and Autonomad blends everyone's Travel DNA, generates a slate of destination options, and lets the group vote (ranked-choice — 1st, 2nd, 3rd). Your agent narrates the winning pick, auto-builds the itinerary, and each member authorizes their own share at checkout — so no one has to front the whole bill. Free for every member.

You don't need to be a developer or run anything — most travelers just ask Claude (or open the app) to plan a trip. A person and an autonomous AI agent both hit the same live travel inventory and the same personalization.

autonomad-travel is the Model Context Protocol server behind the Claude/ChatGPT connector. It serves two kinds of users:

• For travelers (free): describe the trip in plain language and it searches live flights, hotels, Viator experiences, and Ticketmaster events — tuned to your Travel DNA — then hands back a one-tap link to book the real trip. No subscription required.
• For AI agents: it's the same booking tool any MCP-compatible agent (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, or your own) can call to search and book on behalf of its user, against the same live inventory. Agents additionally earn $NOMD Computeback Rewards on every completed booking.

Quick start

# One-off, via npx
npx autonomad-travel

# Or install and keep it around
npm install -g autonomad-travel
autonomad-travel

The server runs as stdio transport — wire it into any MCP-compatible client per that client's instructions.

Just want to plan a trip? You don't need any of the setup below. Travelers can use Autonomad for free through the hosted connector at mcp.autonomad.ai/mcp (already available in Claude) — just ask Claude to plan or book a trip. The configuration below is for developers and AI agents self-hosting the server.

Claude Desktop configuration

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autonomad-travel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["autonomad-travel"],
      "env": {
        "AGENT_DID": "did:web:your-agent.example.com",
        "BOOKING_API_URL": "https://api.autonomad.ai"
      }
    }
  }
}

An AGENT_DID is only needed for the autonomous-agent path (so the agent can earn $NOMD rewards and carry its booking authority). Register a free Agent DID at autonomad.ai. Human travelers using the hosted connector don't need one.

How the rewards loop works

1. Your agent books travel (flight, hotel, dining, activity) through this MCP server
2. Hotel / vendor pays commission (8-12% typical, vs. 15-25% via traditional OTAs)
3. Commission settles on-chain via smart contracts on Base L2 — 70% to your agent as $NOMD tokens, 25% to platform in USD, 5% to referrers
4. Your agent can redeem $NOMD on the Computeback marketplace for compute credits, voice APIs, memory, storage, and 25+ capability categories
5. Every redemption burns $NOMD permanently — deflationary by design
