compare
compare_airport_options
Compare every way to get between Seatac Airport (SEA) and a Seattle-area place for one trip: a private Seatac Connection ride, driving and parking at the SEA garage, a rental car, app rideshare or taxi, and Link light rail. Priced options carry real numbers (Port of Seattle garage rates, typical rental costs, example or live ride fares); rideshare and light rail are described, not priced, because their prices are not fixed. direction: "departing" (flying out of SEA: the alternative is parking), "arriving" (visiting: the alternative is a rental), or "both". Ranks the priced options cheapest first.
compare_parking_vs_ride
Compare parking at the Seatac (SEA) airport garage for a trip with a round-trip private ride to and from the airport, using the same numbers as seatac.co/parking: Port of Seattle drive-up rates (taxes included) against example sedan fares from seven Seattle-area starting points. Returns both totals, which is cheaper and by how much, and the trip length where the ride starts winning. Optional: pass address + pickup_datetime for a live fare (one rate-limited quote).
compare_rental_vs_ride
Compare renting a car at Seatac (SEA) for a stay with a private ride from the airport and back, as seatac.co/seatac-car-rental does: typical SEA daily rate, taxes and airport fees, the facility charge, and hotel parking every night (gas left out), against example sedan fares. Override the daily rate or hotel parking with the traveler's own quote. Returns the breakdown, which is cheaper, a ride booking link, and a rental search link (partner; seatac.co may earn a commission). Optional live fare with address + pickup_datetime (one rate-limited quote).
plan
plan_airport_departure
Work out when to leave for Seatac (SEA) for a departing flight, the seatac.co departure planner's rule: be at the terminal 2 hours before a domestic or 3 hours before an international departure (SEA's advice), minus Seatac's stored typical drive from the starting point. Returns the terminal-arrival target, the pickup time, a prefilled ride booking link, and how long before departure to leave from each place we have a drive time for.
plan_cruise_trip
Build a day-by-day plan for a Seattle cruise departure, the same plan the seatac.co sailing page shows: fly into Seatac, ride to a hotel near the pier (or straight to the ship on sailing day), the ride to the terminal, and the ride home or one more night after the cruise. Each step has its booking link and cost: ride estimates from Seatac's own pricing (whole dollars before fee and tax; final price at booking), typical hotel rates, and a flight comparison link. Needs the ship and sailing date (use find_cruise_sailings first if unsure). Pass hotel_slug from hotel_options to put a hotel in the plan and the total.
cruise
find_cruise_sailings
Look up Seattle cruise sailings from the Port of Seattle schedule (2026 season and the preliminary 2027 season): which pier and terminal a ship uses on a date, and which ships sail on a day. Filter by ship (fuzzy), cruise_line, date or from/to, and pier. Each upcoming embarkation (turnaround) day includes ride_to_pier with a prefilled seatac.co booking link from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport; call quote_ride with its quote_ride_arguments plus a pickup time for the live fare. Without a date filter, only sailings from today on are returned.
events
find_events_near
Find Seattle-area games, concerts and shows on given dates (from Seatac's daily Ticketmaster snapshot), the same list seatac.co shows as "Happening while you're here". With near (the airport, a cruise pier, or a hotel area) events are nearest first, one per venue, within 20 miles, with the straight-line distance; without it, the biggest events first. Each event has its start time, the planned ride (pickup time to arrive 45 minutes early, estimated end, ride back), a prefilled round-trip booking link, the event page and the ticket link.
quote
quote_ride
Get the live fare for a specific Seatac Connection ride, per eligible vehicle, priced exactly as seatac.co checkout prices it. Each vehicle includes a booking_url where the customer reviews and pays. Rate limited; reuse a quote instead of re-requesting it.
recommend
recommend_hotels_with_rides
Recommend Seattle hotels for a stay with the whole-trip cost: typical room rate for the nights plus the rides the stay needs (Seatac → hotel on check-in day, then hotel → cruise pier or back to Seatac on check-out day). near is a cruise pier (pier-66, pier-91: check-out day is sailing day) or a hotel area. For a pier it also prices a SeaTac airport hotel, so the traveler can see when a cheaper airport room plus rides beats a downtown room. Room links lead; ride links are the add-on. Typical rates and ride estimates, not live prices.
service
get_service_info
Describe Seatac Connection: private, pre-booked rides between Seatac Airport and the Seattle area, plus hourly charters. Returns the service area, vehicle types with passenger and bag capacity, booking requirements, and the cancellation and refund policy. Fares are quoted per trip; use quote_ride for a live price.
start
start_booking
Create a prefilled seatac.co reservation link for the customer to open. They review the trip, enter contact details, and pay on seatac.co. Nothing is booked or charged by this tool.

How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Seatac Connection rides mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around compare and plan. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Seatac Connection rides working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 92 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 108 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Seatac Connection rides as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Seatac Connection rides?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Seatac Connection rides need an API key?
No. Seatac Connection rides completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
