Overview

The Ferryhopper MCP Server exposes ferry routes, schedules and booking redirects so an AI assistant can discover connections across Europe and the Mediterranean and send users to Ferryhopper to complete bookings.

An MCP app (see the official overview) is any client that can consume remote MCP tools and optionally render UI artifacts they return. Whether you run Claude Desktop, Cursor, Gemini, VS Code, or a custom agent, pointing it at this server instantly upgrades it with Ferryhopper ferry-search skills.

Key features

  • 🌍Search ports and connections across 33 countries and 190+ ferry operators
  • ⛴️Get real-time ferry itineraries with indicative prices
  • 🔗Receive a direct link to Ferryhopper.com for booking and payment

Use cases

  • Assist users searching for ferry routes and daily itineraries
  • Recommend destinations based on departure port and date
  • Power travel chatbots to plan island-hopping or multi-leg journeys

Client integration options

  • 📱MCP-ready hosts consume our toolset and, if they support iframe-style MCP apps, render the bundled UI resource (Trips Carousel) exactly as designed.
  • 🧩Text-only or command-line clients use the same tools endpoint, simply ignoring the UI resource and working with the structured JSON responses for ports, trips, and connections.

UI resources

Beyond the tools, we expose a resource named search-trips-carousel at ui://widgets/trips-carousel.html. Hosts fetch it to embed our Trips Carousel HTML (served as text/html;profile=mcp-app) along with CSP hints, so iframe-capable MCP environments can paint the exact UI we ship.

Available Tools

Get ports

  "name": "get_ports",
  "description": "Get a list of global ports and their details"
}

Search trips

This is the engine behind our Trips Carousel UI: hosts that support MCP app surfaces can render the provided cards, while purely conversational hosts consume the same structured JSON payload (operators, prices, ETAs) without rendering.

{
  "name": "search_trips",
  "description": "Return carousel-ready UI blocks plus identical structured data for hosts without MCP app rendering",
  "parameters": {
    "departureLocation": "string",
    "arrivalLocation": "string",
    "date": "string (YYYY-MM-DD)"
  }
}

Get Direct Connections

{
  "name": "",
  "description": "Get a list of all the direct connections between ports",
  "parameters": {
    "portLocation": "string"
  }
}

Installation & Setup

The MCP clients directory lists the current set of supported apps and agents that can connect to MCP servers, so teams with MCP-enabled clients can hook into Ferryhopper immediately. You can also connect from any custom MCP client if you are building your own app, and organizations without an app implementation can still use the same remote endpoint through lightweight CLI runners or hosted connectors—no custom UI required. Application Examples:

  1. Gemini CLI
  2. ChatGPT
  3. Claude.ai / Claude Desktop Consult their documentation and use the following URL for connecting:
 https://mcp.ferryhopper.com/mcp
