What your AI can do with Trips
Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.
“Use “build_trip_link”: Start here for any trip, road trip or itinerary. As soon as there is an origin and one destination, build the link and give it to the person.”
“Use “find_place”: Turn a place name into coordinates for build_trip_link — towns, cities, airports (IATA or name), parks, trailheads. Returns up to six candid.”
“Use “amend_trip_link”: Update a trip link you already built — add legs, change one leg's fields, replace them all, rename, or drop one — and get the new link back.”
“Use “read_trip_link”: Use when someone gives you a this trip, btw link and you need to know what is actually in it — to summarise the plan, answer a question abou.”
How secure is the Trips MCP server?
Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how Trips holds up.
Official endpoint
Operated by Trips (thistripbtw.us) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.
No sign-in needed
This server only exposes public data — no account and no credentials are involved when you connect.
Scanned before it goes live
gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.
Watched for drift
If Trips adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.
Connected in three steps
Connect your gate
Add one gateway URL to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client. One-time setup, about two minutes.
Pick Trips
Choose Trips in the gate directory. No sign-in needed.
Use it anywhere
Trips's tools are live in every AI client you've connected — with rules and logging built in.
Free to start · No credit card · No hosting needed

Who runs the Trips MCP server?
The Trips MCP server at a glance
https://thistripbtw.us/mcpQuestions, answered
Is there an official Trips MCP server?
Yes — Trips operates its own remote MCP server at thistripbtw.us. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.
How do I connect Trips to Claude or ChatGPT?
Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick Trips in the directory. No account or sign-in is needed. From then on, Trips's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.
Do I need to host anything?
No. Trips runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.
Is the Trips MCP server safe to connect?
It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
Is it free?
Yes — you can get started with gate for free and connect Trips in minutes. No credit card required.
