Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: TRIPADVISOR_API_KEY (Your TripAdvisor Terra API key (tripadvisor.com/developers). Needed by the Terra tools; the ta_web_* tools work without it), TRIPADVISOR_CACHE_TTL (Seconds to cache search responses (default: 300; `0` disables)), TRIPADVISOR_STATIC_CACHE_TTL (Seconds to cache details/photos/reviews (default: 3600; `0` disables)), TRIPADVISOR_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS (Per-request timeout for the optional browser bridge (default: 30000)), TRIPADVISOR_DEBUG_LOG (Set to `1` to log browser-bridge requests to stderr), TRIPADVISOR_WS_PORT (Bridge port override (default: FETCHPROXY_WS_PORT, else 37149). Tests only), FETCHPROXY_WS_PORT (Localhost concentrator port (default 37149). On one machine every MCP shares the concentrator, so move it for ALL of them or not at all), FETCHPROXY_WS_HOST (Bind interface (default 127.0.0.1; a literal IP only, anything else is ignored). Keep on loopback — it exists for ONE topology: a hosted child in its own network namespace), FETCHPROXY_IDENTITY_DIR (Where to store the long-term identity keypair (default ~/.fetchproxy/identity/; an absolute path only, anything else is ignored). Exists for a host that runs a separate child per caller, so they can share one identity).

Tripadvisor MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Tripadvisor MCP?
Tripadvisor MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @chrischall/tripadvisor-mcp was installed 502 times last week.
How do I connect Tripadvisor MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @chrischall/tripadvisor-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Tripadvisor MCP?
The npm package @chrischall/tripadvisor-mcp was installed 502 times in the last week. Week over week that is -28%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Tripadvisor MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
