Perplexity

Find local tours directly in Claude Desktop

The `search_travel_activities` tool queries the GetYourGuide inventory directly from your desktop app or browser interface. You ask your Claude agent to find GetYourGuide walking tours or food tastings, and it returns real-time options without you opening a browser tab. By calling `search_by_destination` and `list_travel_destinations`, your Claude agent filters the GetYourGuide catalog down to specific cities. Claude Desktop displays these GetYourGuide options right in your chat window, letting you compare prices and itineraries instantly.

Build your itinerary using this MCP Server

The `check_activity_availability` tool queries live GetYourGuide slot data to ensure your selected tour has open spots before you plan your day in Claude. Your Claude agent uses this live connection to prevent you from booking sold-out GetYourGuide times. Through `list_active_carts` and `get_cart_details`, Claude Desktop tracks your selected GetYourGuide items across sessions. You can review your pending GetYourGuide bookings directly in the Claude sidebar, keeping your travel plans organized while you chat.

Complete bookings inside your Claude Desktop chat

The `create_travel_booking` tool handles the GetYourGuide reservation process directly inside the Claude Desktop interface or browser app. Your Claude agent initiates the booking flow, pulling your preferences from the chat history to fill out the GetYourGuide form. If plans change, the `get_booking_status` and `cancel_travel_booking` tools let you modify or cancel GetYourGuide reservations in Claude. You don't need to hunt down confirmation emails; your Claude agent checks the status and processes GetYourGuide updates instantly.
