Gondola AI is a free travel search tool designed to function as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI agents. Its primary function is to enable artificial intelligence assistants, such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP compatible clients, to search for hotel, flight, and rental car rates. The tool is distinguished by its ability to compare standard cash prices against loyalty points redemptions, automatically calculating cents per point valuations to help users assess the value of redeeming rewards. No account or API key is required to access the core search functionality, making it directly available to any MCP client. The service provides structured JSON responses containing real time availability across major hotel chains including Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, Accor, and Wyndham. Hotel search results include cash rates, points per night costs, direct booking links, and detailed property information such as amenities, photos, and reviews. For flights, the tool searches real time cash fares by route and dates. Rental car searches cover providers such as Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, and Alamo, and return details on extras, insurance options, charges, and cancellation policies. A distinctive feature allows users to check whether a specific credit card includes rental car collision damage waiver or loss damage waiver coverage by card name or bank identification number. Typical use cases involve a user describing a travel need in plain language, such as finding a Hyatt in Tokyo for three nights under 25,000 points, or comparing cash versus points for a specific hotel. The AI agent processes the query, queries the Gondola MCP, and returns side by side rate comparisons with automated value calculations. Users can then click a direct booking link to complete their own reservation on the hotel, airline, or rental car website, ensuring they earn full loyalty points, status nights, and credit card rewards. Additional capabilities include setting rate alerts for specific hotels and dates, and sharing results and booking links with clients. Technically, Gondola AI requires no special syntax from the user and outputs structured JSON ready for integration into a custom user interface. While the basic search is free, creating an account unlocks the ability to earn cash back on top of points earnings through a feature called Gondola Cash. The service is hosted at gondola.ai and is specifically built to function as a free travel MCP for AI agents, bridging the gap between natural language travel queries and booking direct with travel providers.
