Claude connector

Add TravelMindsAI to Claude.

Grounded, cited travel data and a natural-language travel concierge — right inside your Claude chat. Ask for an itinerary, a destination brief, or India heritage facts, and Claude pulls verified, source-linked answers instead of guessing. One-minute setup, free tier included.

Connector URL

https://mcp.travelminds.ai/mcp

Connect in one minute

Works in the Claude desktop app and on the web. You'll need a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise) to add custom connectors.

Claude desktop & web

Settings → Connectors

  1. Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
  2. Paste the URL https://mcp.travelminds.ai/mcp and click Add.
  3. Click Connect and sign in with Google when the popup appears.
  4. Enable the connector in your chat's tools menu, then just ask a travel question.

Prefer an API key?

For Cursor, VS Code, or keyed setups

  1. Grab a free key at travelminds.ai.
  2. Add the same URL as a remote MCP server.
  3. Send your key as an Authorization: Bearer header.
  4. No key? The no-sign-in demo itinerary tool still works for a taste.
Free to start. Signing in provisions a free account automatically — 5,000 data lookups and 50 concierge itineraries per month, no card required. Need more? Usage-based plans are at travelminds.ai/pricing.

What you can ask

Every answer is grounded in verified rows and comes back with citations and a clear licence tag — no invented hotels, no hallucinated opening hours.

Plan a grounded itinerary

A day-by-day trip where each stop, meal, and transit hop traces back to a real source row.

"Plan 3 heritage-focused days in Jaipur for a Japanese-speaking traveller."

Get a destination brief

An overview of a city or region — what it's known for, when to go, and standout places.

"Give me an overview of Luang Prabang and the best months to visit."

Find the right destination

Resolve a place by name across 135,000+ cities and 230+ countries and territories.

"Find coastal towns near Da Nang with strong food scenes."

India heritage, in depth

Deep coverage of India — monuments, circuits, and state tourism, in 12+ languages.

"List UNESCO and protected monuments along the Buddhist Circuit in Bihar."

Troubleshooting

Common setup snags and quick fixes.

Connector won't add or doesn't appear

Custom connectors need a paid plan

  1. Custom (remote) connectors require a paid Claude plan (Pro, Max, Team, or Enterprise) — on Free, "Add custom connector" won't appear.
  2. Use the exact URL https://mcp.travelminds.ai/mcp (including /mcp).
  3. Make sure you're on the latest Claude desktop/web build.

Sign-in fails or "invalid token"

Refresh the connection

  1. Disconnect and reconnect the connector — this re-runs Google sign-in and issues a fresh token.
  2. Complete the Google popup fully and allow the email/profile scopes.
  3. Tokens are long-lived, so this is normally a one-time step.

Claude isn't using the tools

Enable, then invoke

  1. Turn the connector on in the chat's tools menu.
  2. For a place Claude knows well, name the connector: "Use TravelMinds to plan…" — otherwise it may answer from memory instead of calling the tools.

Hitting limits

Free-tier quota

  1. The free tier is 5,000 lookups + 50 itineraries/month.
  2. Need more? See travelminds.ai/pricing.
  3. Still stuck? Contact us.

Ready when you are.

Add the connector, sign in, and ask your first question. No setup files, no model wrangling — just grounded travel answers inside Claude.
