Gondola Award Travel Search MCP Server

The travel MCP that shows cash and award rates side by side. Search hotels, flights, and rental cars across every major hotel chain and loyalty program - with cents-per-point valuations, loyalty balance tracking, rate alerts, and direct booking - right from your AI client. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.

Teams that work with award travel, flights and hotels and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in JavaScript.
