Gondola — Travel MCP Server & Claude Code Plugin
The travel MCP that shows cash and award rates side by side.Search hotels, flights, and rental cars acrossevery major hotel chain and loyalty program— with cents-per-point valuations, loyalty balance tracking, rate alerts, and direct booking — right from your AI client.
Built forpoints and miles: unlike award-flight-only tools, Gondola covers hotels, flights,andcars, and puts the cash price and the award (points) price in one view so you can see exactly when a redemption beats cash.
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, and any MCP-compatible client.Learn more atgondola.ai/mcp.
- Endpoint:https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp(Streamable HTTP)
- Auth:search & discovery workanonymously — no account, no API key. Personal tools (loyalty balances, trips, saved profiles) use standard MCPOAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration— your client signs you in on first use, no key to copy.
- Tools:30 across hotels, flights, rental cars, loyalty, and analytics.
/plugin marketplace add gondola-ai/gondola-mcp /plugin install gondola
This adds the Gondola MCP server plus slash commands (/hotel-points,/award-flights,/worth-it,/optimize-points). On first use of a personal tool, your client opens gondola.ai to sign you in via OAuth — takes a few seconds, no API key.
Or add the MCP server directly (any client)
Search tools work anonymously; personal tools trigger an OAuth login on first call. No client needs anmcp-remotebridge — every client below supports remote Streamable HTTP natively.

Signed-in users also get loyalty balances, upcoming/past trips, free-night certificates, saved traveler profiles, and rate alerts.
Search & discovery tools are anonymous. Tools marked🔒use your account and require the one-time OAuth sign-in.
Booking is handled through Gondola's checkout:get_booking_linkandget_vehicle_booking_linkhand your client a direct link. Tools that charge a saved card from a tool call arenotpart of the self-serve surface — seePartner booking toolsbelow.
Four tools place charges against a saved payment method or enumerate the cards that can be charged. They require themcp:bookscope, which is granted only to onboarded booking partners — a client that registers dynamically has it narrowed away at consent, so these tools are neither listed nor callable on a normal connection.

- Cash and award, together.Every search shows the cash price beside the points price with a cents-per-point value — the "is this redemption worth it?" question, answered inline.
- Every major chain + program, not a single airline or a single OTA.
- Straight to checkout.Hotels and cars hand off a direct booking link, so you finish on Gondola rather than retyping the search somewhere else.
- No API key.Anonymous search out of the box; OAuth only when you reach for your own data.
