TieredTravel missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 4

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

compare

compare_destinations

Two cities side by side: daily cost at each tier, plus currency, language and best months to visit.

destination

destination_costs

What a day costs in a city at budget, mid-range and luxury, broken down into accommodation, food, transport and activities, with the editorial overview for each tier. Figures come from a hand-written catalogue of 100 cities. If the city is not in the catalogue this returns an error — it never estimates.

destinations

find_destinations

List which cities this server knows about, optionally filtered by country, continent or a name fragment. Call this first when a city might not be covered — the other tools fail rather than guess.

walking

walking_route

A curated stop-by-stop walking route for a city: each stop in order with what to know there, real coordinates, distance on foot and total time. Distance excludes tram, metro and ferry legs, which are flagged separately. Nine cities deliberately have no route because a self-guided walk is the wrong format there.

TieredTravel — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can TieredTravel do?

It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: compare_destinations, destination_costs, find_destinations, walking_route. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is TieredTravel working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 152 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect TieredTravel?

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 TieredTravel need an API key?

No. TieredTravel completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is TieredTravel?

It answers our handshake in 152 ms on average, which is faster than 81% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
