Plan anywhere

Use ExploreIndonesia inside ChatGPT and Claude

Add our connector once, then plan any Indonesia trip in the assistant you already use, and get real, bookable stays, tours, transfers and eSIMs back, not just suggestions.

The connector URL

You'll paste this remote MCP server URL into ChatGPT or Claude. Copy it, then follow the steps below for your assistant.

https://exploreindonesia.ai/api/mcp

Turn on all three tools

When you add the connector, keep every tool enabled. The booking links only appear when the assistant is allowed to run all three: one finds the trip, the other two turn it into real, bookable links.

  • Search Indonesia itineraries: finds curated trips that match your plan.
  • Make an itinerary bookable: turns a whole plan into bookable stays, tours, transfers and eSIMs.
  • Get booking links for an activity: pulls the booking link for a single item.

If your assistant asks whether to allow a tool, choose Allow (or “always allow”) so it doesn't stop halfway.

Questions

What is the ExploreIndonesia connector?

It is a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT search our curated Indonesia itineraries and return real, bookable links for stays, tours, transfers and eSIMs, directly inside your chat.

Is it free?

Yes. Connecting and using the tools is free. Some links we return are affiliate links to our travel partners, which is how the project is funded, and you never pay more.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

The connector follows the open MCP standard that both Claude and ChatGPT support. ChatGPT's remote-connector support is rolling out via developer mode; if you don't see the option yet, use Claude in the meantime.

What data can it see?

Only the public, read-only trip content on exploreindonesia.ai. The tools cannot change anything, read your files, or access your account. Sign-in exists only to authorize the connection.
