MCP Server

What Departi/mcp-server does

Departi/mcp-server MCP server exposes travel-compliance and trip-planning functions for digital nomads, remote workers, and long-stay travelers. Its compliance tools cover visa and entry options, tax-residency risk, double-tax-treaty context, and Schengen 90/180-day calculations. The Schengen calculator accounts for permits by excluding the country that issued the permit from the day count.

Planning tools search curated accommodation, flights, and local experiences across European destinations. Results can include prices, ratings, facilities, duration, carrier, cabin class, stops, persona-fit scores, and booking deep-links, depending on the tool. The profile tool returns authenticated Departi information such as nationality, tax residence, subscription tier, traveller persona, and preferences, but does not return names, email addresses, or dates of birth.

How it works

The hosted service is available at https://mcp.departi.eu/v3 and communicates through Streamable HTTP using JSON-RPC 2.0. All seven tools are read-only. The base endpoint supports anonymous access with optional bearer authentication, making it suitable for general queries and registry discovery.

Personalized results use the OAuth endpoint at https://mcp.departi.eu/v3/oauth. OAuth 2.1 uses PKCE with S256. The profile tool requires OAuth, and the README also identifies OAuth as the route for personalized visa results and Schengen tracking based on user information and travel history. Access tokens last one hour; refresh tokens last 30 days and use rotation.

Setup and configuration

Add the hosted URL as a Streamable HTTP MCP server in a compatible client. For general access, configure https://mcp.departi.eu/v3. For OAuth-backed access, use https://mcp.departi.eu/v3/oauth and complete the consent flow supplied by the client.

Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf are documented configuration targets. Claude.ai can connect through a custom connector: add the OAuth URL under Settings, Connectors, and Add custom connector, then approve the OAuth consent screen. OAuth discovery metadata is available from Departi’s documented well-known endpoints.

No local package installation or environment variables are specified. The repository contains documentation and configuration for the hosted service rather than the server implementation.

Tools and capabilities

• departi_check_visa returns visa type, maximum stay, remote-work eligibility, cost, processing time, and application notes for a traveller and destination.
• departi_check_tax evaluates tax-residency risk and treaty-related considerations, including thresholds, day-counting methods, digital-nomad regimes, and FEIE context. Its output is advisory only.
• departi_track_schengen calculates days used and remaining, current status, and a projected limit date.
• departi_search_accommodation ranks properties with booking links and selected price, rating, facility, and persona-fit information.
• departi_search_transport searches flights through Duffel and Travelpayouts.
• departi_search_experiences finds tours, activities, and local experiences.
• departi_get_profile retrieves the authenticated Departi profile without returning listed PII fields.

Limitations and notes

Departi/mcp-server MCP server is focused on European travel and long-stay planning. The README lists visa coverage for 406 origin countries and 42 European destinations, tax profiles for 49 countries, accommodation across 189 European destinations, and European flight coverage through Duffel and Travelpayouts.

Tax output is advisory and should not be treated as a substitute for professional tax advice. Booking tools return deep-links rather than indicating that booking is completed through MCP. Personalized features depend on OAuth and the information available in the authenticated Departi account. Usage terms are provided by Departi’s hosted service rather than a software license for a local server implementation.
