Visa Requirements MCP — passport visa rules for any nationality → destination pair
Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
visa_requirement | Do I need a visa? Visa requirement for one passport (nationality) traveling to one destination country — returns visa-free (with allowed stay days when known), visa on arrival, e-visa, eTA, visa required, or no admission. Covers 199×199 country pairs. Data: community-maintained Passport Index snapshot (last updated 2026-02-18) — verify with official sources before travel. Example: visa_requirement({ passport: "United States", destination: "Brazil" }) |
visa_free_destinations | Where can holders of a given passport travel without a visa? Lists every destination grouped by requirement: visa-free (with allowed stay days), visa on arrival, e-visa, eTA — plus counts for visa-required and no-admission. Optional filter to a single category. Answers "visa-free countries for X passport holders". Data: Passport Index snapshot (2026-02-18). Example: visa_free_destinations({ passport: "Germany" }) |
visa_passport_compare | Compare passport power: for 2-5 passports, how many destinations each can enter visa-free / on arrival / with e-visa or eTA / visa required (passport-ranking mobility comparison). With exactly 2 passports, also lists destinations where the requirements differ (up to 30). Data: Passport Index snapshot (2026-02-18). Example: visa_passport_compare({ passports: ["US", "India"] }) |
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/visa-requirements/mcp returns the tools in the table
above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx,
discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the
gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a
single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the
pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and
is the authoritative answer for a given day.
This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a
scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via
ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a
second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without
them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth,
connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:
Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The
only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx
reaches all of them from either one.
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
