Instafan MCP Server
Let AI agents plan real trips — where to go for a mood, what a destination is like right now, its strongest Google-rated places with photos, and a day-by-day plan — using Instafan's live data (Google Places, climate normals, official safety advisories).

Tools
| Tool | What it does | Inputs |
|---|---|---|
find_destinations | A trip mood or constraint set ("somewhere warm in November, food-first") → 3–5 destination suggestions with the why. | mood (required) |
destination_brief | One destination: the story, typical weather this month, official safety verdict, a postcard photo link. | destination (required) |
top_spots | The strongest real Google-rated places — top attractions by default, or a specific ask like "rooftop bars" — with photo links. Never invented. | destination (required), query |
build_itinerary | A day-by-day plan built from the destination's strongest places. | destination, days (both required) |
spot_photos | Up to two real photos of one spot, embedded inline as MCP image blocks plus direct links, credited to their Google Maps authors. | destination (required), spot |

Example
"Build me a Lisbon trip for my wife and I in the best weather."
The agent calls destination_brief → learns Lisbon is 18–26°C with ~4 rainy days right now and officially rated relaxed; top_spots → real rated places with photos; spot_photos → Belém Tower, inline; build_itinerary → a day-by-day plan. Every answer links back into instafan.app, where the trip becomes a group decision — immerse in 3D, save spots, let the group vote.
