Available tools 7

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

cities
list_cities
List active cities ordered by POI count, with coordinates and Wikidata QID. Paginate with limit/offset; filter by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.
city
get_city
Get one city by slug, including POI count, top distinctive tags, top categories, and a sample of its top POIs.
countries
list_countries
List every country that has at least one active city, with city and POI counts.
country
get_country
Get one country by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code, including its active cities (top 100 by POI count).
poi
get_poi_details
Get one POI by UUID or slug, with full enrichment: coordinates, approved tags, categories, Wikidata/OSM/Google identifiers, and hero image.
pois
search_pois
Free-text POI search with prefix/tag/fuzzy ranking plus popularity and geo boosts. Provide `q` (free text, min 2 chars) and/or `city` (slug); with both, the search is scoped to that city. Optionally narrow with `tags` (a POI must carry all of them). At least one of `q` or `city` is required.
similar
find_similar_pois
Find the nearest POIs to the given one by tag-cosine similarity (shared distinctive tags) — 'more like this'. Empty when the POI has only generic tags.

TravelType — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can TravelType do?
It exposes 7 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_similar_pois, get_city, get_country, get_poi_details, list_cities, list_countries and 1 more. 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 TravelType 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 197 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect TravelType?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does TravelType need an API key?
No. TravelType completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 7 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is TravelType?
It answers our handshake in 197 ms on average, which is faster than 63% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
