A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

MCP TravelCode is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants to the TravelCode corporate travel API. It lets AI agents search for flights and hotels, create and manage bookings, check real-time flight status, and access delay statistics — all via natural language conversations.
Built for the MCP ecosystem — works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, OpenClaw, and any MCP-compatible client.
There are three ways to use MCP TravelCode. Pick one:
| What it is | Best for | |
|---|---|---|
| [A. Hosted server](#a--hosted-server-zero-install) | Use our managed instance at mcp.travel-code.com | Fastest start; works with Claude Web, Desktop, mobile, IDE clients |
| [B. Local stdio](#b--local-stdio-npx-mcp-travelcode) | Run as a child process via npx on your machine | Single user, desktop client, no infra |
| [C. Self-host HTTP server](#c--self-host-http-server) | Deploy your own HTTP instance under your domain | Teams, compliance, custom OAuth AS — see DEPLOY.md |
A and C use the Streamable HTTP transport (multi-client, per-user OAuth). B uses stdio (one process per user, token in a local file).
No install, no local token files. Point any MCP-capable client at:
https://mcp.travel-code.com/mcpOn first use the client opens a browser window, you log in to TravelCode, approve the consent screen, and you're done. Works in Claude for Web, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any other client that supports HTTP+OAuth MCP servers.
| Client | How to add |
|---|---|
| Claude Web / Desktop | Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → URL https://mcp.travel-code.com/mcp |
| Claude Code | claude mcp add --transport http travelcode https://mcp.travel-code.com/mcp |
| Cursor | Settings → MCP → Add Server → URL https://mcp.travel-code.com/mcp |
| Windsurf / VS Code / JetBrains / others | Use the client's MCP config and set transport = HTTP (Streamable), URL = https://mcp.travel-code.com/mcp |
Once connected, the assistant can search flights, find hotels, view and manage your orders, and pull delay stats — on behalf of the signed-in TravelCode user.
npx mcp-travelcode)For desktop clients without HTTP+OAuth support, or air-gapped/offline setups. Each user runs the server as a child process on their own machine.
# Authenticate once with your TravelCode account (opens browser)
npx mcp-travelcode-auth authThe token is saved to ~/.travelcode/tokens.json and auto-refreshes. Configure your client to spawn npx mcp-travelcode (examples below).

The same flow as the hosted instance — clients connect by URL, OAuth happens in the browser, tokens come in the Authorization: Bearer header on every request — but running on your infra and (optionally) against your own OAuth Authorization Server.
For a quick local smoke test:
npm run build

RESOURCE_URI=http://localhost:3000 \
OAUTH_ISSUER=https://travel-code.com \
TRAVELCODE_API_BASE_URL=https://api.travel-code.com/v1 \
npm run start:http
# → http://localhost:3000/mcpFor a full production deploy (systemd + nginx + TLS + fail2ban), see [DEPLOY.md](DEPLOY.md). It documents the reference setup we run for mcp.travel-code.com and lists the placeholders to substitute when deploying under your own domain.
Requirements for self-hosting against your own AS:
proxy it from the sidecar, as we do for travel-code.com).
SCOPES_SUPPORTED in src/http-server.ts (currentlyflights:*, airports:read, airlines:read, hotels:search, tourist:read).
Authorization: Bearer header.
