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 live dated 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.):

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, and confirmation email. A dated quote shows the selected rate's total and terms, including whether resort transfers are included. |
| 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 hotel and resort inventory; returns candidate stays and indicative pricing when available. Obtain a live quote to confirm bookability and transfer terms. |
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, and guests, with the selected rate's total and terms. |
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.

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.

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.
Free to connect. No account, no API key, no cost. Prices shown by the tools follow the same live rate and checkout flow as tellandgo.com. Check each quoted rate's meal plan, transfer inclusion, taxes, cancellation terms, and total before presenting it to the traveler. We never add a special markup 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 +
