Perplexity

Pull live travel timelines in Claude

`get_user_timeline` feeds your upcoming trips straight into your chat interface. Ask your agent for your schedule, and it hits the AwardWallet API to pull exact dates, flights, and hotel bookings. You stop digging through confirmation emails. Detailed trip data comes through the `get_user_itineraries` tool. Claude reads the raw booking references and connection times, then formats a clean itinerary. You get the exact terminal numbers and layover durations before you pack.

AwardWallet MCP Server points tracking

Checking balances across airlines and hotels happens via `get_user_accounts`. Your AI client lists every loyalty program attached to a specific user in one shot. If you need the granular data, it triggers `get_account_details` to pull elite status tiers and expiration dates. Finding out how you earned those points requires the `get_account_history` tool. Claude pulls the ledger of recent flights and credit card spend that triggered the rewards. You see exactly which transactions posted and which ones failed.

Manage connected accounts

Your agent outputs everyone who authorized your business account using `list_connected_users`. You ask Claude to check who linked their profiles this week, and it returns the exact list. Generating new access links happens via `create_auth_url`, giving you a secure URL to send new users. Verifying the underlying API connection runs through `get_account_check`. Your agent confirms the credentials still work before attempting large data pulls. Checking supported airlines and hotels uses `list_loyalty_providers` to confirm coverage.
