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 across every 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 for points and miles: unlike award-flight-only tools, Gondola covers hotels, flights, and cars, 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 at gondola.ai/mcp.
- Endpoint:
https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp(Streamable HTTP) - Auth: search & discovery work anonymously — no account, no API key. Personal tools (loyalty balances, trips, saved profiles) and booking use standard MCP OAuth 2.1 with Dynamic Client Registration — your client signs you in on first use, no key to copy.
- Tools: 34 across hotels, flights, rental cars, loyalty, and analytics.
Quick Install
Claude Code plugin (recommended)
Inside Claude Code:
/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/booking tools trigger an OAuth login on first call. No client
needs an mcp-remote bridge — every client below supports remote Streamable HTTP natively.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http gondola https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp
Codex CLI
codex mcp add gondola --url https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp
Or in ~/.codex/config.toml:
[mcp_servers.gondola]
url = "https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp"
Cursor — ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or .cursor/mcp.json in a project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"gondola": { "url": "https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp" }
}
}
Windsurf — ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json (note: serverUrl, not url):
{
"mcpServers": {
"gondola": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp" }
}
}
VS Code (Copilot / Agent mode)
code --add-mcp '{"name":"gondola","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp"}'
Or .vscode/mcp.json (note: top-level key is servers):
{
"servers": {
"gondola": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp" }
}
}
Gemini CLI — ~/.gemini/settings.json (note: httpUrl, not url):
{
"mcpServers": {
"gondola": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp" }
}
}
Claude Desktop — Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → name gondola, URL
https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp. Leave the OAuth client fields and headers blank (DCR handles it).
ChatGPT — Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode, then Add custom connector →
URL https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp, auth = OAuth. (Anonymous search works pre-login; personal tools
require the OAuth sign-in.)
What you can do
Ask naturally, or use the slash commands the plugin installs.

Why Gondola
- 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.
- Real bookings, not just search — hotels and cars book straight through.
- No API key. Anonymous search out of the box; OAuth only when you reach for your own data.
Self-hosting
You don't need to self-host. Gondola is a hosted service — connect your client directly to
https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp using any method above.
The Dockerfile in this repo is not the Gondola server. It's a thin stdio proxy (via
mcp-remote) that bridges to the hosted endpoint, so MCP
registries that introspect stdio servers can index Gondola's tools from this repository. It simply
forwards to https://mcp.gondola.ai/mcp — running it yourself gains you nothing over connecting to
the hosted server directly. It exists for registry indexing only.
