01
Install the server
Run the init command — it provisions your travel endpoints and writes a starter config.
02
Add it to your client
Paste the snippet into your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VSCode, or an HTTP agent).
03
Restart the client
MCPrates auto-registers every travel tool on boot — no extra wiring.
04
Ask anything travel
Your agent can now search live flights, hotels and build packages.
