The Tripadvisor Terra Model Context Protocol (MCP) server enables AI-powered code editors like Cursor and Windsurf, plus general-purpose tools like Claude Desktop, to interact directly with your Tripadvisor Terra API and documentation.

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to securely access external data sources and tools. The Tripadvisor Terra MCP server provides AI agents with:

Direct API access to Tripadvisor Terra functionality
Documentation search capabilities
Real-time data from your Tripadvisor Terra account
Code generation assistance for Tripadvisor Terra integrations

Tripadvisor Terra MCP Server Setup

Tripadvisor Terra hosts a remote MCP server at https://docs.terra.tripadvisor.com/mcp. Configure your AI development tools to connect to this server. If your APIs require authentication, you can pass in headers via query parameters or however headers are configured in your MCP client.

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tripadvisor-content": {
      "url": "https://docs.terra.tripadvisor.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Testing Your MCP Setup

Once configured, you can test your MCP server connection:

Open your AI editor (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
Start a new chat with the AI assistant
Ask about Tripadvisor Terra - try questions like:
- "How do I [common use case]?"
- "Show me an example of [API functionality]"
- "Create a [integration type] using Tripadvisor Terra"

The AI should now have access to your Tripadvisor Terra account data and documentation through the MCP server.
