Book real travel from any AI agent

No account · No API key · Same prices as our site · Payment on a hosted Stripe checkout your agent never touches

Tell & Go runs a public Model Context Protocol server. Connect any AI agent — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Hermes, OpenClaw, or your own — and it can search live resort inventory, get exact all-in quotes, and start a real booking that completes on our secure checkout page.

[!IMPORTANT] This repository is documentation only. The server is hosted at https://mcp.tellandgo.com/mcp — there is nothing to install or run.

One endpoint works in every MCP client:

	Client	One-liner
🟣	Claude Code	`claude mcp add --transport http tellandgo https://mcp.tellandgo.com/mcp`
🌐	Claude.ai / Desktop	Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → `https://mcp.tellandgo.com/mcp` (leave auth empty)
💬	ChatGPT	Settings → Connectors → Add custom MCP → `https://mcp.tellandgo.com/mcp`
⚡	Cursor / VS Code / Windsurf / Gemini CLI	add an `mcpServers` entry (below)
🧠	Hermes	`hermes mcp add tellandgo --url https://mcp.tellandgo.com/mcp`
🦅	OpenClaw	add a remote HTTP MCP server → `https://mcp.tellandgo.com/mcp`

Cursor / VS Code / Gemini CLI — add to your MCP config (~/.cursor/mcp.json, VS Code MCP settings, etc.):

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tellandgo": { "url": "https://mcp.tellandgo.com/mcp" }
  }
}

Why this exists

Booking.com and Expedia built AI agents inside their own apps. We did the opposite: we opened our travel agency as a public MCP that works in every agent — before the big OTAs did.

The question	The answer
Is it real?	Live inventory, real bookings, confirmation email. An all-in quote with transfers included — resort speedboat, seaplane, domestic flight, whatever the property requires — a single upfront number no OTA API surfaces in one line.
Is it safe?	Search & quote are read-only. Booking only returns a hosted Stripe checkout URL on `tellandgo.com`. The agent never sees card data.
What's the catch?	None. Website rates, no markup for agent users, no account, MIT-licensed docs.
Why not Booking's agent?	Theirs is a closed app inside one assistant. Ours works in every client that speaks MCP.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`search_stays`	Natural-language search over bookable hotel & resort inventory; returns matches with all-in, transfer-inclusive nightly pricing.
`get_stay_details`	Full detail for one property: rooms, amenities, location, policies, indicative pricing.
`get_quote`	A live, dated quote for a specific stay + dates + guests — the exact all-in total, matching the website.
`prebook_stay`	Locks the quoted rate with the supplier before payment; returns a `prebook_id` for `start_booking`. If the supplier price changed, re-call with the returned `terms_digest` to accept it.
`start_booking`	Returns a hosted Stripe Checkout link (checkout.stripe.com) that the traveler opens to pay. The agent never handles card data.

Typical flow: search_stays → get_stay_details → get_quote → prebook_stay → start_booking

Example JSON-RPC calls

The MCP transport speaks JSON-RPC 2.0 over streamable-HTTP.

Initialize the session

config.json

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "method": "initialize",
  "params": {
    "protocolVersion": "2025-06-18",
    "capabilities": {},
    "clientInfo": { "name": "my-agent", "version": "1.0.0" }
  }
}

List available tools

config.json

{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 2, "method": "tools/list", "params": {} }

Search for stays

config.json

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 3, "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "search_stays",
    "arguments": {
      "query": "overwater villa in the Maldives for a honeymoon in October, all-in with seaplane transfer",
      "check_in": "2026-10-12", "check_out": "2026-10-19", "adults": 2
    }
  }
}

Follow up with get_quote for an exact dated total, then prebook_stay to lock the rate, then start_booking to receive the hosted checkout link the traveler completes.

Try it with curl

bash

# MCP handshake
curl -X POST https://mcp.tellandgo.com/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize"}'

# List tools
curl -X POST https://mcp.tellandgo.com/mcp \

  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list"}'

What it can book

Curated, verified-bookable hotel & resort stays. The live set of destinations grows all the time — see the current coverage at tellandgo.com/en/destinations.

Each new market simply grows the catalog behind the same endpoint — your agent doesn't need to change anything.

Pricing

Free to connect. No account, no API key, no cost. Prices shown by the tools are identical to tellandgo.com — all-in (room + stated meal plan + resort/seaplane transfer where applicable). We never add fees or markups for agent users.

[!NOTE] Fair use: ~60 requests/minute per IP, a tighter budget on search/quote/booking, and a global ceiling. Excess traffic gets 429 + Retry-After. Building a product on this? Reach out for higher throughput.

FAQ

Is it free?

Yes. No account, no API key, no cost to connect.

Are the prices the same as the website?

Identical — markup-inclusive and all-in (room + meal plan + transfer).

How does payment work?

start_booking returns a hosted Stripe checkout link on tellandgo.com. The agent never touches card data; the traveler completes payment securely.

Is it safe?

Search and quote are read-only. Booking only produces a checkout link you choose to complete — the MCP cannot charge anyone on its own. Tool annotations (readOnlyHint, openWorldHint) are set honestly.

Which MCP spec version?

2025-06-18. The server also answers 2024-11-05 for older clients.
