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.):

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

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