# TripAdvisor Content API — how to use (mcp.ai)

Connect your TripAdvisor Content API account and use 5 tools for reviews straight from your AI agent. Connect with your own API key. The Tripadvisor Content API provides developers with access to extensive travel data including locations, reviews, photos, and ratings.

## Option A — via MCP (recommended)
Remote MCP endpoint (HTTP, streamable): `https://api.mcp.ai/p_tripadvisor_content_api?ms=1787291280000`
Add it as a custom/remote MCP connector in your client (Claude, Cursor, VS Code…), then authenticate when prompted. Once connected, ask the agent to use the server's tools (e.g. `tripadvisor_content_api_get_location_details`).
