🌍 Expedia Travel Recommendations MCP Server

This project provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Expedia Travel Recommendations (hotels, flights, activities, and cars) via both stdio and streamable-http protocols—ideal for LLM integrations and web-based applications.

✨ Features

• 🔌 MCP server integration for Expedia's travel recommendation APIs
• 📦 Supports both stdio and streamable-http protocols
• 🏨 Hotel, ✈️ Flight, 🗺️ Activity, and 🚗 Car rental recommendations
• 🔐 API key-based secure access

🛠 Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• Expedia API key

⚡ Running the MCP Server

Run with stdio protocol (LLM Integration)

export EXPEDIA_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
uvx expedia_travel_recommendations_mcp --protocol "stdio"

Run with streamable-http protocol (Web Clients)

export EXPEDIA_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
uvx expedia_travel_recommendations_mcp --protocol "streamable-http"

Access it at: http://0.0.0.0:9900/mcp

🐳 Running with Docker

Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

docker run \
  -p 9900:9900 \
  -e EXPEDIA_API_KEY=your_api_key_here \
  expediagroup/expedia-travel-recommendations-mcp

Accessible at: http://0.0.0.0:9900/mcp

⚙️ MCP Client Configuration

Using streamable-http (Recommended)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "expedia-recommendation": {
      "url": "http://localhost:9900/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Using stdio

{
	"mcpServers": {
	 "expedia-travel-recommendations": { 
	   "command": "uvx", 
	   "args": [
	     "expedia_travel_recommendations_mcp", 
	     "--protocol", 
	     "stdio" 
	   ],
	   "env": { 
	     "EXPEDIA_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here" 
	   }
	 }
	}
}

🧪 Example Query (Hotel)

{
  "query": {
    "destination": "Seattle",
    "check_in": "2025-05-01",
    "check_out": "2025-05-05",
    "property_types": ["HOTEL", "RESORT"],
    "amenities": ["POOL", "SPA"],
    "guest_rating": "WONDERFUL",
    "sort_type": "CHEAPEST"
  }
}
