POWERING THE WORLD'S TOP DATA-DRIVEN TEAMS
What is TripAdvisor MCP server?
TripAdvisor MCP server connects AI agents with TripAdvisor scraper via the Model Context Protocol. It fetches hotels, restaurants, attractions, vacation rentals and more.
Comprehensive Tripadvisor data extraction
Scrapes detailed information from hotels, restaurants, tours, vacation rentals and attractions including ratings, addresses, emails, prices, amenities and awards across multiple content types.
Location-based and URL-specific scraping
Search by location terms or use specific Tripadvisor URLs with pre-applied filters to extract exactly the data you need from targeted pages.
High-volume data collection with smart limits bypass
Retrieves tens of thousands of results on average and uses specialized deeper city search to overcome Tripadvisor's 3000 hotel limit per region.
One token to rule them allSingle Apify API key unlocks 6,000+ Actors and MCP servers. One account, one invoice and transparent usage tracking.
Dynamic tool discoveryIs TripAdvisor MCP server not enough? Agents can search, evaluate, and add other Apify tools based on workflow needs.
Smart prompts and resourcesPre-built prompts and resources help agents understand tool capabilities and use cases.
Apify API Token
Get your personal API token from the Integrations section in Apify Console. This token will be used to authorize the MCP server to run Actors on your behalf.
MCP client
An AI agent or client that supports MCP. This could be Anthropic Claude for Desktop, a VS Code extension with MCP support, Apify’s web-based Tester MCP Client, or any custom client implementation. You can also check supported MCP clients in official documentation.
How to set up TripAdvisor MCP server
If you have an MCP client that supports streamable HTTP, connect using OAuth authentication by providing TripAdvisor MCP server URL you can find below. You'll be redirected to your browser to sign in to your Apify account and approve the connection.
1{2 "mcpServers": {3 "apify": {4 "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=maxcopell/tripadvisor"5 }6 }7}If you don't have an MCP client that supports streamable HTTP, you can still set up Apify's TripAdvisor MCP server. For Claude for Desktop, enable MCP servers via the Developer settings. Then, you need to add an entry for the Apify MCP server. For instance, in Claude’s config file, under mcpServers, add an entry like:
{ "mcpServers": { "actors-mcp-server": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "@apify/actors-mcp-server", "--actors", "maxcopell/tripadvisor" ], "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" } } } }MCP server configuration
Configure your own Apify MCP server exactly as you need with Actors and tools for easy integration with MCP clients.

The TripAdvisor MCP server is a tool that enables AI agents and applications to extract hotel information, restaurant data, attraction details, and pricing information from TripAdvisor without complex web scraping. It provides programmatic access to comprehensive data beyond the limitations of TripAdvisor's official API.
To use the TripAdvisor MCP server, create an Apify account and get your API token. Then configure the server in your MCP-compatible client using either OAuth authentication or by adding the configuration with your token.
No, you don't need TripAdvisor API key to use our TripAdvisor MCP server. The server operates through Apify's infrastructure and only requires an Apify account with API token for authentication and access to the service.
You can access comprehensive business data including place names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, ratings, review counts, opening hours, photos, and detailed reviews. The server also extracts categories, pricing information, amenities, and additional business details from Google Maps listings.
The TripAdvisor MCP server has no specific rate limits imposed by the service itself, but usage is subject to your Apify account's resource limits and pricing plan.
