The GetStopover MCP server gives any MCP-compatible AI tool direct access to curated stopover programs, transit-visa verdicts and usable layover time, no copy-pasting, no switching tabs.
Step 1
Paste the GetStopover server URL into your AI tool's MCP settings. One URL, no key, no signup.
Step 2
Airline, layover city, hours, passport. Plain language, mid-conversation, no special syntax.
Step 3
Eligibility windows, visa rules, usable city hours and the catches, each with the official link.
Setup for each supported client. Works the same way under the hood, just a different UI.

Everything you need to know about using GetStopover via the Model Context Protocol.
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools. Adding this server means your assistant answers layover questions from our curated database instead of guessing, and stopover rules are exactly the kind of detail models guess wrong.
Free, no key, no account. Requests are rate limited per client to keep it fast for everyone.
The stopover catalog is curated from official airline pages and periodically re-verified: 28 programs, 18 with free hotels, each with hour windows, fare-class exclusions and claim steps. Visa verdicts come from our curated database with a live provider fallback. Transit overheads and activities are curated for 100+ hubs.
No. It returns verdicts, rules and official links. Stopover perks usually require booking as a single ticket with the airline, and every eligibility answer says exactly that.
Airline rules change without notice. Every response carries the official program link so you can confirm before booking, and we correct the catalog when programs change or pause.
The same verdicts appear as badges on Google Flights, Skyscanner, Kayak and more with the free GetStopover browser extension.
