## AI integration

Book From Locals operates a public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, allowing AI assistants to search tours, check availability, and create real bookings via standardized tool calls — no chatbot intermediary, no scraping. We believe we are the first European tour operator to expose a native MCP integration.

- [MCP server endpoint](https://bookfromlocals.com/mcp): Streamable HTTP MCP server with 5 tools — `search_tours`, `get_tour_details`, `check_availability`, `list_destinations`, `create_booking`
- [REST API](https://bookfromlocals.com/wp-json/bfl/v1): Public read endpoints plus authenticated booking endpoint
- [API health check](https://bookfromlocals.com/wp-json/bfl/v1/health): Returns current tour catalog size and last-booking timestamp
- [Live destinations list (JSON)](https://bookfromlocals.com/wp-json/bfl/v1/destinations): Authoritative list of all 21 destinations with tour counts

To add Book From Locals to Claude (Pro / Max / Team / Enterprise), point a custom connector at the MCP URL above. ChatGPT Action / Gemini integrations are in development.
