A side-by-side look at the Transita MCP Server and Visa Requirements MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Transita MCP Server for travel & transportation work as a local process; choose Visa Requirements for travel & transportation. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

transita_match_visasScore a user's profile against every visa pathway Transita supports. Returns the top matches ranked by eligibility, with timeline, cost, and links to official sources. EU citizens automatically surface freedom-of-movement options first.transita_visa_detailsFetch full details for a single visa pathway: eligibility category, processing time, fees, validity, PR timeline, and a free preview of the document checklist (lead time, ancillary cost, first section). The full multi-section checklist is part of Transita's $9 paid action plan.transita_compare_visasCompare 2-3 visa pathways side-by-side. Returns processing time, cost, validity, PR-pathway, and a delta summary highlighting the fastest, cheapest, and most permanent option.transita_country_overviewGet summary data for a destination country: number of visa pathways, EU member status, score dimensions, drawbacks, top cities with rent ranges, and PR/citizenship timelines.transita_search_by_nationalityShow top destinations and recommended visa pathways for citizens of a given country. Ideal first stop for the question 'Where should I move?'. Returns 4-6 destinations with the best-fit visa for each, key stats, and FAQ. Falls back gracefully if a slug isn't yet curated.transita_programme_statusCheck the live intake status of a single visa pathway: whether it is currently open, the last selection round and cutoff score (for round-based programmes like Express Entry, AU SkillSelect, or the US H-1B lottery), what is expected next, and the official source. Call this before recommending a pathway so you never send a user toward a closed or paused programme. Continuous-intake visas return an 'open' status.No tool names declared yet. Check the project README from the listing page.
Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
