> **Autonomad is a free, social travel platform for people — and a booking tool for AI agents.** Plan and book real flights, hotels, activities, and events — personalized to your taste and shared with fellow travelers. **Free for human travelers — no subscription.**

**Ways travelers use Autonomad (all free):**

- 📱 **iPhone app** — Apple App Store
- 🤖 **Android app** — Google Play
- 🌐 **Web app** — [autonomad.ai](https://autonomad.ai), installable as a PWA
- 💬 **Connector inside Claude and ChatGPT** — this MCP server, hosted at `mcp.autonomad.ai/mcp`
- 🕶️ **Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses** — look at any place and instantly pull up nearby hotels, experiences, and events to book, ranked by distance

**Personalized by your Travel DNA.** Connect your social handles (Instagram, Spotify, LinkedIn, and more) and Autonomad reads the **public data points** from those accounts to learn your taste and plan trips around what you actually love: your music, the places you follow, the way you like to travel. Linking accounts is optional and only public signals are used.

**It's a social platform, not just a booking tool.** After you book, Autonomad drops you into destination **lounges** with other travelers heading to the same place around the same dates — swap tips, meet up, match with people who share your vibe, and turn every trip into a shared experience.

**Group Trip Democracy.** Planning with friends? Start a group trip and Autonomad blends everyone's Travel DNA, generates a slate of destination options, and lets the group vote (ranked-choice — 1st, 2nd, 3rd). Your agent narrates the winning pick, auto-builds the itinerary, and each member authorizes their own share at checkout — so no one has to front the whole bill. Free for every member.

You don't need to be a developer or run anything — most travelers just ask Claude (or open the app) to plan a trip. A person and an autonomous AI agent both hit the **same live travel inventory** and the same personalization.

`autonomad-travel` is the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server behind the Claude/ChatGPT connector. It serves two kinds of users:

- **For travelers (free):** describe the trip in plain language and it searches live flights, hotels, [Viator](https://www.viator.com) experiences, and [Ticketmaster](https://www.ticketmaster.com) events — tuned to your Travel DNA — then hands back a one-tap link to book the real trip. No subscription required.
- **For AI agents:** it's the same booking tool any MCP-compatible agent (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, or your own) can call to search and book on behalf of its user, against the same live inventory. Agents additionally earn `$NOMD` [Computeback Rewards](https://computeback.com) on every completed booking.

## Quick start

```bash
# One-off, via npx
npx autonomad-travel

# Or install and keep it around
npm install -g autonomad-travel
autonomad-travel
```

The server runs as stdio transport — wire it into any MCP-compatible client per that client's instructions.

> **Just want to plan a trip?** You don't need any of the setup below. Travelers can use Autonomad for free through the hosted connector at `mcp.autonomad.ai/mcp` (already available in Claude) — just ask Claude to plan or book a trip. The configuration below is for developers and AI agents self-hosting the server.

### Claude Desktop configuration

Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "autonomad-travel": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["autonomad-travel"],
      "env": {
        "AGENT_DID": "did:web:your-agent.example.com",
        "BOOKING_API_URL": "https://api.autonomad.ai"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

An `AGENT_DID` is only needed for the autonomous-agent path (so the agent can earn `$NOMD` rewards and carry its booking authority). Register a free Agent DID at [autonomad.ai](https://autonomad.ai). Human travelers using the hosted connector don't need one.

## Environment variables

| Variable | Default | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| `AGENT_DID` | — | Your agent's Decentralized Identifier. Required for bookings. Get one at [autonomad.ai](https://autonomad.ai) |
| `BOOKING_API_URL` | `https://api.autonomad.ai` | Booking API base URL |
| `IDENTITY_API_URL` | `https://api.autonomad.ai` | Identity / DID resolution API |
| `REWARD_API_URL` | `https://api.autonomad.ai` | $NOMD rewards + settlement API |

## How the rewards loop works

1. Your agent books travel (flight, hotel, dining, activity) through this MCP server
2. Hotel / vendor pays commission (8-12% typical, vs. 15-25% via traditional OTAs)
3. Commission settles on-chain via smart contracts on [Base L2](https://base.org) — 70% to your agent as $NOMD tokens, 25% to platform in USD, 5% to referrers
4. Your agent can redeem $NOMD on the [Computeback marketplace](https://computeback.com) for compute credits, voice APIs, memory, storage, and 25+ capability categories
5. Every redemption burns $NOMD permanently — deflationary by design
