Connect to TourRadar's MCP server

Connect an MCP-compatible AI assistant to TourRadar's server so you can discover 50,000+ multi-day tours & adventures from over 2,500 tour operators globally, ask questions about itineraries and destinations, and book a trip in natural language.

TourRadar's MCP server works with Claude and ChatGPT via their native chat interfaces, and with Gemini, VS Code, Cursor and terminal coding agents via config. Whichever assistant you use, you add a TourRadar MCP server URL. There is no account and no sign-in. Pick your assistant below.

Note: TourRadar's MCP is a remote server and needs no authentication. Use https://ai.tourradar.com/mcp/main everywhere except ChatGPT, which needs https://ai.tourradar.com/mcp/chatgpt. Menu names in each assistant can change over time, so if a step looks different, check your assistant's own MCP documentation.

Connect Claude to TourRadar

Add TourRadar as a custom connector in Claude:

1.In Claude, go to Settings > Connectors.

2.Click Add custom connector.

3.Enter the name TourRadar and the MCP server URL: https://ai.tourradar.com/mcp/main

4.Click Add. No sign-in is required.

ⓘ

Tip: If you are on a Claude team or enterprise plan and cannot see Add custom connector, your Claude admin needs to enable custom connectors for your organization first, under Organization settings > Connectors.

Connect ChatGPT to TourRadar

ChatGPT uses a separate, restricted TourRadar endpoint. Use https://ai.tourradar.com/mcp/chatgpt, not the main URL.

1.In ChatGPT, go to Settings > Connectors.

2.If you do not see a Create button, open Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.

3.Click Create and enter: Name TourRadar Tours, MCP Server URLhttps://ai.tourradar.com/mcp/chatgpt, Authentication No authentication.

4.Tick I trust this application and click Create.

5.In any chat, open Tools > Connected Apps and check that TourRadar Tours is switched on.

⚠

Caution: Custom connectors work on ChatGPT web, not mobile. On a workspace plan, only an admin or owner can turn on developer mode.

Connect Gemini to TourRadar

Connect TourRadar to Gemini through the Gemini CLI by adding the server to your settings file.

1.Open or create ~/.gemini/settings.json.

2.Add TourRadar under mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tourradar": {
      "httpUrl": "https://ai.tourradar.com/mcp/main"
    }
  }
}

3.Restart the Gemini CLI.

Connect VS Code to TourRadar

Add TourRadar from the command line with the code --add-mcp command.

1.In your terminal, run:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"tourradar","type":"http","url":"https://ai.tourradar.com/mcp/main"}'

2.Reload VS Code if prompted.

ⓘ

Tip: You need the code command available in your terminal. In VS Code, run Shell Command: Install 'code' command in PATH from the Command Palette first.

Connect Cursor to TourRadar

Add TourRadar to Cursor's MCP settings. Use ~/.cursor/mcp.json to make it available in every project, or .cursor/mcp.json in a project folder to scope it to that project.

1.Open or create ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

2.Add TourRadar under mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tourradar": {
      "url": "https://ai.tourradar.com/mcp/main"
    }
  }
}

3.Reload Cursor, then open Settings > MCP and check that TourRadar is connected.

Connect from the command line

Coding agents that run in the terminal can add TourRadar with a single command.

For Claude Code:

claude mcp add --transport http tourradar https://ai.tourradar.com/mcp/main

For Codex:

codex mcp add tourradar --url https://ai.tourradar.com/mcp/main

Things to know

Keep the following in mind after you connect your assistant to TourRadar:

•You can go further than just search. Most travel connectors stop at finding things. TourRadar's lets an assistant check live departures and real pricing, then start a booking from inside the conversation. You complete and pay on TourRadar, on the web or in the app.

•ChatGPT is more limited than the other assistants. ChatGPT's connector restricts what a server can expose, so the TourRadar ChatGPT endpoint offers a reduced set of tools. In our testing it answers an operator question accurately, then on follow-up questions it sometimes fills in details from its own training rather than asking us again. Claude and Cursor use the unrestricted server and give a noticeably better experience for detailed itinerary questions.

•Always confirm before you pay. Prices and availability change constantly. Whatever an assistant tells you should match what you see at the booking step.

•Brochure downloads need an allowlist in some assistants. TourRadar delivers brochures as a download link. If your assistant restricts outbound domains, a brochure can generate but the download will not open.

ⓘ

Note: TourRadar's MCP is public and read-and-book only. There is no account, no API key, and no personal data attached to your connection. It exposes the same tour inventory that is public on tourradar.com.
