Features

Compare alternate origin and destination airport routes
Explain booking windows, airport arrival timing, layovers, and seasonal travel factors
Build external booking links for selected routes
Run locally with no API key or account setup
Disclose commission-eligible links in tool output

Install

Claude Desktop

Add this to your Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "travel-assistant": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@forgemeshlabs/travel-assistant-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop after saving the config, then ask Claude to plan or compare travel routes.

Codex, Hermes, and other MCP-capable agent runtimes can use the same server command:

npx -y @forgemeshlabs/travel-assistant-mcp

Local Run

npm run build
node dist/index.js

Public Data Boundary

This package uses generic language for provider integrations. Tool responses may include external booking links and commission-eligible links. Booking completion happens with booking partners outside this MCP server.
