Connect Expedia MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Expedia to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Direct region and property lookups in Cursor
`search_regions` resolves text queries into structured location IDs, which `search_properties` uses to pull hotel listings. Your agent pulls this live data straight into your active workspace. That's how you bypass the need for mock data during development. After locating a property, `get_property_detail` extracts room details while `get_room_quotes` fetches live pricing. Cursor displays these payloads directly in your editor. This lets you build and test travel interfaces with production-grade data.
Real-time transit queries via MCP Server
`search_flights` queries airline schedules and `search_cars` locates rental vehicles at airport counters. This MCP Server feeds live transit options directly to your agent. You can test routing logic with actual flight numbers and car classes. The editor uses `get_flight_quotes` and `get_car_quotes` to pull exact pricing schemas. You see the precise JSON structure returned by the API. This makes it simple to map data fields to your frontend components.
Automated booking tests
`create_booking`, `book_flight`, and `book_car` execute actual reservations using your specified parameters. Your agent triggers these endpoints during automated workflow tests. You receive verified booking IDs to validate your integration. When testing cancellation flows, `cancel_booking` and `cancel_flight` revert these transactions. You can programmatically verify refund eligibility and status updates. This ensures your application handles booking lifecycles correctly over the MCP connection.
