What do I need to use the TripAdvisor Vacation Planner?

You need Python 3.10+, uv, a TripAdvisor API key, Claude Desktop, and the Google Maps MCP Server.

What features does the API offer?

It provides location search by name and category, detailed location information, photos, reviews, nearby attraction finding, and interactive vacation planning prompts.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `TRIPADVISOR_API_KEY` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
