Tools

Tool	What it does
`ta_search_locations`	Search locations by name (optionally scoped by category, lat/long + radius, address, phone) — up to 10 matches

Var	Required	Purpose
`TRIPADVISOR_API_KEY`	yes	Content API key, sent as the `key` query parameter.
`TRIPADVISOR_REFERER`	no	`Referer` header for domain-restricted keys (the API 403s without a matching referer).
`TRIPADVISOR_CACHE_TTL`	no	Seconds to cache search responses (default: 300; `0` disables).
`TRIPADVISOR_STATIC_CACHE_TTL`	no	Seconds to cache details/photos/reviews (default: 3600; `0` disables).

Development

npm install
npm run build   # tsc + esbuild bundle
npm test        # vitest (no real network)

Endpoint request shapes are pinned in docs/TRIPADVISOR-API.md. With a key in .env, node scripts/live-probe.mjs exercises every read path through the built client.
