The full upstream README, mirrored here for reference. Install config, tool schemas, adoption signals, and an original overview live on the GuruWalk Affiliates listing page.
GuruWalk exposes a subset of its tour catalog through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing affiliates to embed tour discovery, browsing, and availability checking directly into their own AI agents and assistants.
All URLs returned by the tools include your affiliate ?ref=<username> parameter automatically, so bookings driven by your agent are attributed to your account.
The server implements MCP over Streamable HTTP, stateless mode. Every request is independent — no session state is maintained between calls.
Include your API key on every request using one of these headers:

Requests without a valid key receive 401 Unauthorized.
This server follows the MCP specification. Use any MCP-compatible client library:
mcp@modelcontextprotocol/sdkThe transport is Streamable HTTP (not SSE, not stdio). The server is stateless — pass stateless: true (or equivalent) in your client transport configuration.
