Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini to your trips

What it can and can’t see

• It can read your trips and their bookings — times, places, confirmation codes, and prices, and for an award the program, the points, and the cash fare — what you’ve spent, the countries you’ve visited, and your days in Europe.
• Bookings filed from a connected mailbox are included: it sees the booking details read from those emails, never the emails themselves or their attachments.
• It can’t see your travel documents (passport, visas, and arrival forms), other travelers on a booking (unless an email you forwarded or a file you attached names them), your notes and debriefs, or the emails from a connected mailbox.
• It can’t edit or delete your trips or bookings.
• With Pro, if you allow it: it can add places and plans to a trip as ideas, marked with your assistant’s name, and add bookings. It can also see the subject, sender, and a short excerpt of emails you forwarded to us and file them into a trip, and open or attach files on your bookings, through a link that works for 5 minutes.

What your assistant does with what it reads is governed by its maker’s own terms: Anthropic’s for Claude, OpenAI’s for ChatGPT, Google’s for Gemini. The privacy policy says the same in full.

An assistant can say it has done something it hasn’t. Check that what it added appears in SirTripsALot. Confidence is not the same as a booking.

In claude.ai

1. In claude.ai, open Settings → Connectors.
2. Choose Add custom connector. Name it SirTripsALot, and for its address paste https://sirtripsalot.com/api/mcp. Then Add. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner of the plan may need to add it first.
3. Choose Connect. A SirTripsALot page opens. Sign in if it asks — with the account your trips are in.
4. The page says what Claude can and can’t see. If that’s what you want, choose Allow, and you’re taken back to claude.ai.
5. Ask in any chat, with SirTripsALot switched on in the chat’s tools: “Where am I staying next, and when do I check out?”

In Claude Code

1. In a terminal, run:

   claude mcp add --transport http sirtripsalot https://sirtripsalot.com/api/mcp
2. Start claude, type /mcp, pick sirtripsalot, and choose Authenticate. Your browser opens the same SirTripsALot page: sign in if it asks, then Allow.
3. Ask about your trips by name, for example “On my trips, what’s next?”

In ChatGPT

1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Plugins, choose Browse directory, then Add → Add custom MCP server.
2. Name it SirTripsALot, paste https://sirtripsalot.com/api/mcp as the Server URL, and leave Authentication on OAuth. Tick I understand and want to continue, then choose Create as a plugin.
3. A SirTripsALot page opens. Sign in if it asks, with the account your trips are in.
4. The page says what ChatGPT can and can’t see. If that’s what you want, choose Allow.
5. In a chat, type @SirTripsALot and ask: “Where am I staying next, and when do I check out?”

In Gemini

1. In Gemini, open Connectors and choose + Custom, then Connect to an MCP server.
2. Paste https://sirtripsalot.com/api/mcp as the MCP Server URL. Leave the OAuth Client ID and secret empty, and choose Next.
3. Google shows a notice that it hasn’t reviewed SirTripsALot. Read it, and continue if you’re happy to.
4. A SirTripsALot page opens. Sign in if it asks, with the account your trips are in.
5. The page says what your assistant can and can’t see; for Gemini, it’s shown as Google. If that’s what you want, choose Allow.
6. In a chat, type @SirTripsALot and ask: “When’s my next trip, and where am I staying?”

ChatGPT and Gemini rename these menus from time to time; if a step doesn’t match, look for Connectors, Plugins, or Apps.

Things to ask

• When’s my flight to Tokyo, and what’s my confirmation code?
• What time do I check out of my hotel in Kyoto?
• Show me the whole itinerary for my next trip, day by day.
• Plan my first afternoon in Lisbon around my hotel check-in.
• Write a short message to my sister with my flight times home.
• Make a packing list for my next trip, based on where I’m going and for how long.
• Which award bookings did I make this year, and how many points did each use?
• How much did my last trip cost, and how does it compare with the one before?
• Which of my trips this year cost the most, and do I want to know?
• Which countries have I been to?
• How many days do I have left in Europe?
• Find my booking with confirmation code ABC123.

Things it can add, with Pro

• Find three ramen places near my hotel in Shinjuku and add them to my Tokyo trip as ideas.
• Add the ANA Lounge to my trip as an idea for my layover in Tokyo.
• Add a day trip to Nikko as an idea for Saturday.

Disconnecting

In SirTripsALot, open Settings → Connections → AI assistants and choose Disconnect beside it. From then on it can’t read anything, until you allow it again.

Disconnecting inside claude.ai only makes Claude forget its own key; SirTripsALot still lists it. And connecting again adds a new entry rather than reusing the old one. If you see two with the same name, each shows the time it was connected — disconnect the older one.

Other assistants

So far SirTripsALot has been used with Claude, in claude.ai and Claude Code, with ChatGPT, and with Gemini. Other assistants that can add a remote connector and sign in to it may work the same way, but nobody has tried them yet, so this page doesn’t promise it.
