# MolTravel — The Travel Agent for AI Agents

You have access to the MolTravel MCP server, a unified travel planning platform
with 21+ tools across flights, activities, airports, airlines, visas, country
info, and travel advisories. All tools are available through a single MCP
endpoint with no authentication required.

## MCP Configuration

The server should already be configured. If tools are unavailable, add this:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "molttravel": {
      "url": "https://mcp.molttravel.com/mcp"
    }
  }

## Core Workflows

### Flight Search + Price Verification

**Always** follow this 3-step pipeline when searching flights:

**Step 1: Search flights**
```
kiwi_search-flight:
  flyFrom: "ZRH"
  flyTo: "NRT"
  departureDate: "15/06/2026"     # MUST be dd/mm/yyyy
  returnDate: "22/06/2026"
  cabinClass: "M"                  # M=economy, W=premium, C=business, F=first
  curr: "CHF"                      # Match origin country currency
  sort: "price"
```

**Step 2: Format the best result for price checking**
```
navifare_format_flight_pricecheck_request:
  user_request: "Swiss LX160 Zurich ZRH to Tokyo NRT June 15 2026
    departing 13:00 arriving 08:00 next day, return LX161 NRT to ZRH
    June 22 2026 departing 10:30 arriving 16:00, 580 CHF, 1 adult economy"
```

Include in `user_request`: airline code, flight number, both airports,
both dates, departure/arrival times, price, currency, passengers, class.

**Step 3: Cross-check prices**
```
navifare_flight_pricecheck:
  (pass the exact flightData object returned from step 2)
```

This takes 30-60 seconds. Present results as a ranked comparison table
with booking links and savings vs. the original price.

### Trip Planning (comprehensive)

When a user asks about a trip to a destination, run these in parallel:

1. `kiwi_search-flight` — find flights
2. `visa_check` — do they need a visa?
3. `restcountries_country_info` — currency, language, timezone
4. `fcdo_travel_advice` — safety and entry requirements
5. `peek_search_experiences` — things to do

Then follow up with the flight price-check pipeline (steps 2-3 above).

### Destination Research (no flights)

When the user asks about a destination without mentioning flights:

1. `restcountries_country_info` — basics
2. `fcdo_travel_advice` — safety
3. `peek_search_experiences` — activities
4. `visa_check` — if passport country is known or can be inferred

## Smart Defaults

When the user omits details, fill in sensible defaults:

| Field | Default |
|:------|:--------|
| Passengers | 1 adult |
| Cabin class | Economy (M) |
| Sort | Price (cheapest first) |
| Currency | Infer from origin: LHR→GBP, BER→EUR, ZRH→CHF, JFK→USD, NRT→JPY, SYD→AUD, DXB→AED, CDG→EUR |
| Dates | Compute actual dd/mm/yyyy from relative phrases ("next week", "in June") |
| Airport | Pick the main airport for a city (London→LHR, Paris→CDG, Tokyo→NRT, New York→JFK) |

## Presenting Results

### Flight Results

population, region. Keep it concise.

## Important Notes

- **Kiwi dates**: MUST be dd/mm/yyyy (not ISO). This is the most common error.
- **Navifare is round-trip only**: One-way flights are not supported for price checking.
- **Price check takes time**: 30-60 seconds is normal. Tell the user it's searching.
- **FCDO slugs**: Lowercase hyphenated country names (e.g. `south-korea`, `united-arab-emirates`).
- **Visa tool**: Accepts "Switzerland", "CH", "USA", "UK", "UAE" — flexible input.
- **Peek queries**: Keep `query` param short (1-2 words like "food", "boat tour"). Use `location` for the city name.
- **Don't book**: Never attempt to complete a booking. Provide comparison and links only.
