← Trip Underway

Your personal deals organizer, in your AI

Forward travel-deal emails from any source (Going, Thrifty Traveler, Dollar Flight Club, a fare a friend sends you) to your personal Trip Underway address. It parses each one, dedupes the same offer across newsletters, ranks by real value, and tracks them, so Claude (or any Model Context Protocol, MCP, client) can answer “what are my best deals to Tokyo?” in conversation, no dashboard needed.

What it does. The connector searches, ranks, and verifies the deals you have forwarded, and it arms or removes deal hunts for you. Twelve tools are available, listed below.

1. Add the connector to your AI

Your endpoint is:

https://tripunderway.com/underway/mcp

Claude (Desktop or claude.ai): Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the URL above. Your assistant signs you in with Google (OAuth 2.1 with PKCE) on first use, and creates your organizer automatically.

Claude Code / Claude Agent SDK:

claude mcp add --transport http trip-underway-deals \
  https://tripunderway.com/underway/mcp

ChatGPT and Grok: both speak MCP and support adding a custom connector by URL. This endpoint is a standard Streamable HTTP MCP server with OAuth 2.1, so it is protocol-compatible.

2. Get your forwarding address, then forward deals

Ask your AI to “set up my deals organizer” (the deals_setup tool). It returns your personal forwarding address, for example deals-<you>@tripunderway.com. Forward any travel-deal email there and it shows up, parsed and ranked, the next time you ask. Forward from as many sources as you like; duplicates of the same offer collapse into one.
