Getyourguide

MCP server for GetYourGuide — search tours and activities, read tour details, bookable options, and reviews via the GetYourGuide Partner API.

🤖 This project was developed and is maintained by AI (Claude Code). Use at your own discretion.

• npm: npmjs.com/package/getyourguide-mcp
• Source: github.com/chrischall/getyourguide-mcp

Tools

All tools are read-only — this server registers no write tools.

Setup

You need a GetYourGuide Partner API key — join the (free) partner program at partner.getyourguide.com and copy the API key from your dashboard. The key is sent as the X-ACCESS-TOKEN header on every request.

Claude Code / any MCP host

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "getyourguide": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "getyourguide-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GYG_API_KEY": "your-partner-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

The server also boots with no key set (so hosts can probe tools/list at install time); the first tool call then returns an actionable error telling you which env var to set.

Environment variables

For local development, put them in a .env next to the server (gitignored; see .env.example).

Behavior notes

• Rate limits: one automatic retry on 429/503 honoring Retry-After (capped at 10s). If it still fails, the error tells you to back off.
• Auth errors: a 401/403 names both possible causes — a wrong key, or a key whose partner tier doesn't cover that endpoint.
• API drift: responses are validated leniently. On an unexpected shape the server logs a precise warning to stderr and returns the raw response rather than breaking; search tools also accept extraParams to pass raw query params through verbatim. See docs/GETYOURGUIDE-API.md — routes and request shapes are live-verified against the API and its official OpenAPI spec; real 200 bodies still need pinning from a keyed capture.
• Secrets: upstream error bodies are redacted then truncated before they reach a tool result; the API key is never echoed.

Development

npm install
npm run build          # tsc + esbuild bundle → dist/
npm test               # vitest (no network — everything mocked)
npm run test:coverage  # the CI gate: 100% lines/branches/functions/statements

Releases are automated with release-please; don't hand-bump versions. PR titles must be conventional commits (feat:, fix:, …) because the repo squash-merges.
