Use with Claude Desktop
In order to work with Claude Desktop, use the below claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"travel": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["travel-mcp-server"],
"env": {
"BOOKING_COM_API_KEY": "<YOUR_BOOKING_DOT_COM_API_KEY>"
}
},
"google-maps": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"-e",
"GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY",
"mcp/google-maps"
],
"env": {
"GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY": "<YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY>"
}
}
}
}
You will need to go get a google maps API key in order to use this.
Programmatic Use
If you want to use this programmatically, here is a code snippet.
class TravelClient {
private flightsClient: Client;
private mapsClient: Client;
private toolDefinitions: any[] = [];
constructor() {
this.flightsClient = new Client(
{ name: "FlightsApp", version: "1.0.0" },
{ capabilities: { tools: {}, resources: {}, prompts: {} } }
);
this.mapsClient = new Client(
{ name: "MapsApp", version: "1.0.0" },
{ capabilities: { tools: {}, resources: {}, prompts: {} } }
);
}
async initialize() {
console.log("Initializing MCP clients...");
try {
const flightsTransport = new StdioClientTransport({
command: "node",
args: ["../../node_modules/travel-mcp-server/build/index.js"],
});
console.log("GOOGLE MAPS API KEY", process.env.GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY);
const mapsTransport = new StdioClientTransport({
command: process.execPath,
args: [
"../../node_modules/@modelcontextprotocol/server-google-maps/dist/index.js",
],
env: {
GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY: process.env.GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY || "",
},
});
await Promise.all([
this.flightsClient.connect(flightsTransport),
this.mapsClient.connect(mapsTransport),
]);
// Discover tools from both servers
console.log("Discovering tools...");
const [flightsTools, mapsTools] = await Promise.all([
this.flightsClient.listTools(),
this.mapsClient.listTools(),
]);
// Combine tools from both servers
this.toolDefinitions = [
...flightsTools.tools.map((tool) => ({
name: tool.name,
description: tool.description || `Tool: ${tool.name}`,
input_schema: tool.inputSchema,
})),
...mapsTools.tools.map((tool) => ({
name: tool.name,
description: tool.description || `Tool: ${tool.name}`,
input_schema: tool.inputSchema,
})),
];
console.log(`Discovered ${this.toolDefinitions.length} tools`);
return this;
} catch (error) {
console.error("Error initializing MCP clients:", error);
throw error;
}
}
async callTool(toolName: string, parameters: any) {
const tool = this.toolDefinitions.find((t) => t.name === toolName);
if (!tool) {
throw new Error(`Tool ${toolName} not found`);
}
// Determine which client to use based on the tool name
const client = toolName.includes("maps")
? this.mapsClient
: this.flightsClient;
const toolRequest = {
name: toolName,
arguments: parameters,
};
const result = await client.callTool(toolRequest);
return result;
}
async getToolDefinitions() {
return this.toolDefinitions;
}
}
export default TravelClient;
