Tripsy Launches MCP Server for Claude: Manage Trips via Structured API
Tripsy, a trip planning app, released an official MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Claude. This lets Claude work directly with structured trip data — itineraries, activities, stays, transportation, and expenses — rather than inferring from pasted text.
Available MCP Tools
The server exposes tools organized by domain:
- Trips: list, show, create
- Activities: create
- Transportations: update
- Expenses: create
- Collaborators: list
- Raw API access: via
tripsy_raw_request
Example Use Cases
- Reorganize itineraries by neighborhood or travel time
- Add activities to existing trips
- Update schedules after delays or changes
- Balance group itineraries
- Track transportation and lodging details
- Manage trip expenses
Setup in Claude
- Open Claude settings
- Go to Connectors
- Add custom connector
- Paste
https://mcp.tripsy.app - Login and authorize access
CLI for Automation
Tripsy also provides a CLI for terminal-based workflows: github.com/tripsyapp/cli.
