Multilingual travel guides, gear picks and booking links for AI travel agents.

Overview

AI-generated overview

VoyageHacks gives an assistant multilingual travel guides, gear picks and affiliate booking search links for flights, hotels, cars, transfers, eSIM and VPN.

What you can do
  • Search and read guides: full-text search across about 680 fact-checked pages per language, and fetch any page as Markdown with title, section and dates
  • Search and recommend travel gear: browse a catalog of about 320 products and turn a trip description into a packing kit
  • Build booking search links: flights, hotels (plus Expedia, Vrbo, Agoda, IHG), car and scooter rental, airport transfers, eSIM, VPN and credit card pages
  • Plan a whole trip in one call with combined booking links, or get three destination suggestions from month, trip type, budget and party
  • Use built-in prompts such as where_to_go, plan_trip and pack_for_trip, in ten languages
When to use it
Useful when an assistant answers travel questions and should cite editorial guides, suggest gear, or hand the user prefilled search links for flights, stays, rentals and connectivity. Also fits trip-planning chats that start from a month, budget and travel style.
Requirements
Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint at voyagehacks.com/mcp; no authentication, API key or local runtime. Optional profile variants (research, guides) restrict which tools are exposed. Rate limit of about 90 requests per minute per IP.
Before you install
VoyageHacks is affiliate-funded: many booking and shopping links are affiliate links and the publisher may earn a commission, which responses disclose. The credit card tool links to financial-product applications and the VPN tool to a subscription signup. No live fares, rates or availability, and no booking or payment is performed. Gear data carries no prices, ratings or stock.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open VoyageHacks in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.voyagehacks%2Ftravel/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

VoyageHacks MCP Server

The official Model Context Protocol server for VoyageHacks.com, a travel publisher with about 680 fact-checked guides in each of 10 languages, covering flights, airline reviews, hotels, destinations, car rental, trains, airport transfers, eSIM, travel VPN, travel credit cards and travel gear.

Live endpoint: https://voyagehacks.com/mcp Version: 2.3.0 Docs: https://voyagehacks.com/en/mcp-server/

Stateless Streamable HTTP transport (JSON-RPC 2.0 over POST, single JSON responses, no SSE, no sessions), no authentication. Any MCP client can connect and start calling tools immediately. A GET returns 405 by design: the server offers no SSE stream, which is what the Streamable HTTP specification asks for in that case.

Listed on the official MCP Registry as com.voyagehacks/travel.

Tools

All twelve are read-only, annotated readOnlyHint: true and destructiveHint: false, and have no side effect outside their response. Each declares an outputSchema and returns structuredContent alongside readable text.

ToolWhat it does
search_articlesFull-text search over the guides in one language, with an optional section filter
get_articleOne page as Markdown, plus its title, language, section, publication date and last-updated date read from the page itself
search_travel_gearSearch the VoyageHacks travel gear catalog, about 320 products picked across roughly 50 published buying guides
recommend_travel_gearTurn a trip description into a packing kit, one product per category, with optional structured hints
get_flight_linksFlight search links for a route and dates
get_hotel_linksHotel search links for a city, dates, guests and rooms
get_car_rental_linksCar and scooter rental comparison links
get_airport_transfer_linksAirport taxi and pre-booked transfer links
get_esim_linksTravel eSIM store links for a destination
get_travel_vpn_linksTravel VPN links
get_credit_card_linksOfficial American Express Germany and Revolut pages, plus verified German fee figures (no referral links)
get_booking_linksSeveral categories of one trip in a single call, filtered by include
find_destinationThree destinations for a month, trip type, budget and party, with guides, dated hotel and flight links and packing picks; takes a nightly hotel range (budget) or a whole-trip total (trip_budget, flights plus hotel) and nights, and returns the open questions when the month or trip type is missing

get_hotel_links also returns the same search on Expedia, Vrbo and Agoda (Stay22). Gear products link to their card on the VoyageHacks guide that reviews them (productUrl, <guide>#p-<asin>), never straight to Amazon: Amazon's policies allow tagged links only on the publisher's own site.

In-chat trip finder (MCP Apps)

find_destination declares an MCP Apps view, ui://voyagehacks/trip-finder.html (functions/_mcp-app.js). Hosts that render MCP Apps (Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code and others) show three destination cards and a quiz that re-runs the tool through the host. It follows the host's light or dark theme and opens links with ui/open-link. Other clients get the same answer as text.

Prompts

where_to_go, plan_trip and pack_for_trip, listed by clients that show MCP prompts as slash commands.

Every vertical tool also returns up to 4 matching VoyageHacks guides in the requested language, so agents can cite full articles alongside the links.

Languages: en, de, fr, es, it, pl, cs, ja, nl, pt, zh. Every tool takes a lang parameter, defaulting to en. Each language is an independently written version of the guide, not a machine translation.

Profiles

ProfileEndpointTools
full (default)https://voyagehacks.com/mcp13
researchhttps://voyagehacks.com/mcp?profile=research11
guideshttps://voyagehacks.com/mcp?profile=guides5

The research profile omits get_travel_vpn_links and get_credit_card_links, whose links land on a subscription signup and a financial-product application. It exists for app directories whose guidelines restrict linking to pages that initiate a subscription or purchase.

The guides profile goes further and omits every booking tool, leaving search_articles, get_article, search_travel_gear, recommend_travel_gear and find_destination, which there returns picks, guides and packing picks with no booking links. Its products link to the VoyageHacks guides, which sell physical travel gear on Amazon, so it satisfies directories that allow commerce for physical goods only. It also serves its own initialize instructions, which describe the five tools it actually has rather than the full thirteen.

Each profile is addressable two ways: /mcp?profile=guides and /mcp/guides are the same handler. The path form exists because the OpenAI plugin submission portal rejects a query string in its MCP Server URL field.

An unrecognized profile, in either form, falls back to the full tool set, so a typo can never silently serve fewer tools than intended.

What it does not do

The server returns published editorial content and search links. It has no live fares, no live room rates, no availability check, no star ratings or review counts, and it cannot make a booking or take a payment.

The travel gear catalog is VoyageHacks' own editorial selection, not a search of all of Amazon. It carries no prices, ratings, review counts or stock: the Amazon Product Advertising API is not enabled for this account, so any such value would be invented. The tools never return those fields.

Limits

About 90 requests per minute per IP, 256 KB per request body, 25 messages per JSON-RPC batch, articles truncated at 60,000 characters. Over the rate limit the server returns HTTP 429 with Retry-After. See SECURITY.md.

Markdown for agents

The whole site is agent-readable, not just this server:

Transparency

VoyageHacks is an affiliate-funded publisher. Some booking and shopping links returned by these tools are affiliate links (Booking.com and other advertisers through CJ Affiliate, Travelpayouts, Stay22). No Amazon or referral link appears in tool output. VoyageHacks may earn a commission from qualifying bookings or purchases at no additional cost to the user.

Every commercial tool states this in its description, and every commercial response repeats it in both its text content and structuredContent.disclosure, so an assistant can disclose it to the end user. The word "affiliate" is kept out of tool name and title values because agents route on those strings and it measurably suppresses selection; it belongs in the description and the response, which is where disclosure obligations actually attach.

Article content is free to read, with no paywall and no authentication.

Self-hosting

This is a Cloudflare Pages Function (functions/mcp.js). To run your own instance:

  1. Deploy the functions/ directory with a Cloudflare Pages project.
  2. The server reads its content live from the site it fronts: a Hugo build that emits /<lang>/index.json (search index) and /<lang>/gear.json (gear catalog). Point the SITE constant at your deployment.
  3. Replace the affiliate constants near the top of mcp.js (Travelpayouts marker, CJ ids, Stay22 aid) with your own program ids. find_destination also reads the trip finder data block from /<lang>/trip-finder/ and the shared matching rules in assets/js/trip-match.mjs. For whole-trip budgets it prices flights with functions/_fares.js (Travelpayouts Data API); set a TP_TOKEN secret on the project, or the fare lookup is skipped and only the hotel side is budgeted.

This repository mirrors the production function. The only intentional difference is the htmlToMarkdown import: production imports htmlToMarkdown from the site's _middleware.js, this mirror from its own html-to-markdown.js. If you fork it, keep the affiliate constants in sync with your own site config.

search_articles

Search VoyageHacks travel guides

Full-text search across the VoyageHacks travel guides, about 680 published pages per language, covering flights, airline reviews, hotels, destinations, car rental, trains, airport transfers, eSIM, travel VPN, travel credit cards, travel gear and month-by-month "where to go" guides. Returns ranked matches with the title, canonical URL, section and a matching excerpt for each. Useful when a travel question needs published prices, comparisons, best-time-to-visit advice or step-by-step detail that can be attributed to a source URL. It searches VoyageHacks content only: not the wider web, not live fares or hotel availability, and it returns no booking or product links (the get_..._links tools do that).

Parameterslanglimitqueryrequiredsection

get_article

Read a VoyageHacks guide as Markdown

Fetch one VoyageHacks page by URL or site path (for example "/en/hotels/best-budget-hotels-in-rome/") and return its body as Markdown, together with the title, canonical URL, language, section, publication date and last-updated date read from the page itself. Useful when the full text of a guide is needed to quote figures accurately, and when a source needs to be cited with a real date. Only HTML pages on voyagehacks.com can be read: the tool cannot fetch other websites, data files or images, and very long pages are truncated with a marker at the cut.

Parametersurlrequired

search_travel_gear

Search the VoyageHacks travel gear catalog

Search the VoyageHacks travel gear catalog: about 320 products that appear as picks in roughly 50 published buying guides, including carry-on backpacks, packing cubes and compression bags, universal travel adapters, GaN chargers, airline-compliant power banks, luggage trackers, neck pillows, earplugs and eye masks, toiletry and makeup bags, travel-size bottles, travel routers, translation earbuds and camping and outdoor gear. Each result returns the product name, its category, the published reason it was picked, its Amazon ASIN and a link to the product on the VoyageHacks buying guide that reviews it, where it can be bought on Amazon. Useful when a user asks which travel product to buy, or what to pack for a trip and names a category or a destination. This is the VoyageHacks editorial catalog, not a search of all of Amazon: products outside the published guides are not findable here, and prices, star ratings, review counts and stock are not available and are never returned. The guides carry Amazon affiliate links: VoyageHacks may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to the buyer, which should be disclosed when the products are presented.

Parameterslanglimitqueryrequired

recommend_travel_gear

Build a travel gear kit for a trip

Turn a trip description into a packing and gear kit drawn from the VoyageHacks travel gear catalog: one product per category, each with the published reason it was picked, its Amazon ASIN and a link to the product on the VoyageHacks guide that reviews it, where it can be bought on Amazon. Takes a plain-language trip summary ("10 days in Japan in October, carry-on only, long-haul red-eye, working remotely") plus optional structured hints (destination, trip length in days, season, activities, luggage constraint, traveler type, budget), all of which are used to weight which categories make the kit. Answers questions of the form "what should I pack for X", "what gear do I need for Y" and "I only have carry-on, what should I bring". It draws on the VoyageHacks editorial catalog, not a search of all of Amazon, and returns published picks only: prices, star ratings, review counts and stock are not available and are never returned, and it produces no clothing sizes and no itinerary. The guides carry Amazon affiliate links: VoyageHacks may earn a commission from qualifying purchases at no additional cost to the buyer, which should be disclosed when the products are presented.

find_destination

Suggest where to travel for a month and trip type

Suggest three destinations for a trip from five answers: the month (or "flexible"), the kind of trip (beach, city break, hiking, ski, road trip, adventure or working remotely), the budget, who is travelling and, optionally, the departure airport. Picks come only from VoyageHacks' own where-to-go month guides and travel-style lists, with the average high temperature each month guide states, the reasons it fits, the destination guide to cite, and booking links for that trip: hotels and flights dated in the chosen month, plus tours, car rental or an eSIM where they fit. This is the same matching as the trip finder on voyagehacks.com. Useful when a user asks where to go, for holiday ideas for a month, or for a destination that suits a family, a couple or a budget. Each answer also carries three packing picks for that kind of trip, linked to the VoyageHacks buying guides. When the month or the trip type is missing it returns no picks, only the questions that are still open with their allowed answers (needsInput). It does not return live prices or availability and cannot book. Affiliate links: VoyageHacks may earn a commission at no additional cost to the traveler, which should be disclosed when the links are presented.
