New: Vibe MCP

Book through ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot.
Your programme stays in control.

The Vibe MCP server connects your managed travel programme directly to the AI assistants your travellers already use. They get a natural, conversational booking experience. You keep approved content, travel policy, payments and reporting inside your programme.

The challenge for TMCs

AI is changing how people search and book travel. The question is whether your TMC is inside that change or outside it.

Travellers are already using ChatGPT, Claude and other AI assistants to plan trips. Most of those tools have no connection to managed travel programmes. Every booking made outside your system means lost policy compliance, lost reporting and lost visibility for your clients.

The Vibe MCP server puts your programme at the centre of that AI experience rather than leaving it on the outside.

The risk

Travellers go around the programme

When AI assistants offer a faster booking experience than your OBT, travellers choose convenience over compliance. Bookings leave the programme, policy is ignored and your clients lose accurate data on where their travel budget is going.

The opportunity

Be the TMC that offers AI-powered booking

With Vibe MCP, your corporate clients can tell their travellers to book through ChatGPT or Copilot, with all the confidence that the booking stays inside the managed programme. No workarounds, no shadow bookings, no loss of control.

Model Context Protocol

One server. Your platform inside every major AI assistant.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to external systems. The Vibe MCP server acts as a bridge between the AI assistant a traveller is using and your Vibe-powered booking platform.

There is no separate interface to build, no new system to integrate and no change to your existing platform. The MCP server handles the conversation between the AI and your booking engine automatically.

TMCs do not need to build their own AI infrastructure to offer this capability. Vibe has done that work. You connect once and your corporate clients can access AI-powered booking straight away.

How the connection works
1
Traveller sends a request
They type or speak a booking request to their preferred AI assistant.
2
AI queries the Vibe MCP server
The assistant calls the MCP server, which connects to your Vibe platform, checks policy and retrieves approved options.
3
Booking confirmed in your system
The selected option is booked through your TMC. Payment, policy and reporting all remain inside your programme.

Traveller experience

Everything they need. Through the AI they already use.

Corporate travellers can handle their full travel workflow through natural conversation with their AI assistant. No new login, no separate app and no learning curve.

Search and book flights

Search by route, date, cabin class and budget. View policy-compliant options and complete a booking without leaving the AI assistant.

Search and book hotels

Find hotels that meet your client's programme preferences. Preferred suppliers and policy-compliant rates surfaced by default.

View existing bookings

Travellers can ask their AI assistant to pull up current bookings and upcoming itineraries without logging into a separate system.

Amend and manage itineraries

Request changes, cancellations or service requests through the AI conversation. Changes are processed through the TMC's existing workflows.

Complete payments

Payments are processed within the TMC's approved booking workflows. No new payment infrastructure needed.

Access travel policy

Travellers can ask what is and is not covered under their corporate travel policy. The AI references your actual programme rules.

TMC control

The AI handles the conversation. You keep the programme.

Unlike consumer AI travel tools, the Vibe MCP server is built specifically for managed travel. Every booking goes through your platform, not around it. Your commercial relationships, your policies and your reporting all remain intact.

This is not a shadow booking tool. It is your existing platform, accessible from a new channel.

Built for managed travel. Not adapted from it.

Consumer AI booking tools work outside corporate programmes by design. The Vibe MCP server works inside yours. That distinction matters for compliance, duty of care and client reporting.

Approved supplier content
Only your contracted content and preferred suppliers are surfaced. Nothing outside your programme.
Travel policy enforcement
Per-client policy rules apply at the point of search. Out-of-policy options are flagged, not hidden.
Payment processes
Payments run through your existing approved workflows. No new payment infrastructure required.
Reporting and MI
Every booking processed through MCP appears in your standard reporting and management information.
Your brand and commercial model
The TMC remains the service provider. The AI is a new channel, not a replacement relationship.
