SlickTrip for Claude and ChatGPT

Search travel prices and set alerts from inside your assistant.

What it does

SlickTrip connects to assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP), so you can ask for travel prices in plain language and get SlickTrip's live results back inside the conversation. You can:

  • Search flights and hotels with live prices, filters and a price spread
  • See the cheapest days to fly a route on a calendar
  • Check which seats are still open on a specific flight
  • Set an alert on a fare, a hotel stay, a seat, or a bucket list for a route or a place with flexible dates and a price you are willing to pay
  • Read and change what you are watching, or stop watching it
  • Share a trip as a link, or open any result on slicktrip.com

When a watched price drops, or a watched seat opens, SlickTrip emails or texts you the same way it does for alerts set on the website.

Add it in Claude

Open claude.ai in a browser, then Settings, then Connectors, then Add custom connector. Name it SlickTrip and use this URL:

https://mcp.slicktrip.com/mcp

Claude reads the tool list and SlickTrip appears in your connector list. It then works in the Claude desktop and mobile apps too. On the Free plan you can have one custom connector; on a Team or Enterprise workspace an Owner adds it for everyone.

Add it in ChatGPT

Open ChatGPT on the web, then Settings, then Apps & Connectors, then Advanced settings, and turn on Developer mode. Return to Apps & Connectors, create a new app, and use the same URL, https://mcp.slicktrip.com/mcp, with OAuth authentication. On a Business or Enterprise workspace an admin enables developer mode first.

What needs an account

Searching needs no account. Flight and hotel search, the price calendar, recent deals, opening a shared trip and looking up which airlines fly a route all work signed out.

A free SlickTrip account is needed to set or change an alert, to read your own watchlists, and to see a live seat map. You sign in through OAuth the first time your assistant needs it: the assistant shows a sign-in prompt, you sign in with your SlickTrip email, and you are returned to the conversation. There is no paid plan required. The free tier allows two tracked items of each type.

Booking and payment

SlickTrip does not sell tickets and takes no payment. When you are ready to buy, SlickTrip lists the sellers currently offering that itinerary or stay and hands you to the airline's or seller's own checkout, where that seller completes the purchase under its own terms. No card details or payment step exist inside the assistant or on slicktrip.com. SlickTrip earns an affiliate commission from some sellers when a booking follows one of these links, which does not change the price you pay and does not affect how results are ranked.

What the connector can and cannot change

Tools that only read are marked read-only, and tools that create or change an alert are marked as writes, so your assistant can tell them apart and ask you first. Stopping an alert or removing a bucket list is marked destructive: it permanently removes that record, so your assistant confirms with you before calling it. SlickTrip never books, cancels or changes a reservation with an airline or hotel, and never moves money.

Your data

The connector uses the same account and the same data as the website. It reads and writes only your own SlickTrip records: your tracked fares, stays, seats and bucket lists, and your alert settings. Search requests go to the same travel data sources the website uses. Nothing about a seller's booking request leaves our servers. Full detail, including retention and how to delete your data, is in our Privacy Policy, and our terms are in our Terms of Service.

Troubleshooting

  • The assistant says a tool does not exist. Assistants cache the tool list from when you connected. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, then the ⋮ menu on SlickTrip and choose Refresh tools list. In ChatGPT, open the app's settings and choose Refresh.
  • A search returns nothing. Check the airport or city code, or ask the assistant to look it up. Departures more than 329 days out are not priced.
  • An alert did not arrive. Check the channel on your profile; text alerts need a verified phone number.
  • Anything else. Email support@slicktrip.com.
