This MCP handles the math for you. It looks at your destination's specific rules and compares them to your current documents. If a country requires six months of validity and your passport expires in four, your agent will flag it immediately. Instead of manually checking visa requirements or renewal windows, you can ask your AI client to build a full roadmap. It calculates exactly when you need to apply for new documents and what you need to carry with you on departure day. It covers everything from the high-level timeline of when to renew a passport to the granular details of which physical papers belong in your carry-on versus your checked bag. It turns travel paperwork from a guessing game into a structured plan. ## Tools ### get_departure_custody_plan This tool builds a logistical plan for your physical documents.
