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.):

{
  "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

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

Initialize the session

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

List available tools

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

Search for stays

{
  "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.

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.
