# VacayCue

> Family vacation decision intelligence — expert judgment, instant answers. VacayCue is a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-capable client — the accumulated know-how of a certified family travel advisor for Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Universal, and family cruises.

## What it is

VacayCue is decision intelligence, not a data aggregator, a booking engine, or a scraper. It provides expert judgment and strategy; actual booking is handled by a human travel advisor. Data is hand-curated by a family travel expert. Every response carries a confidence score, a data timestamp, and provenance. Plans are calibrated to each family: per-child thrill tolerance, nap windows, stroller logistics, mobility needs, multigenerational parties, first-timers vs returning visitors.

## How to connect

- Endpoint (Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1): https://api.smartdadtravel.com/mcp
- Machine manifest: https://api.smartdadtravel.com/.well-known/mcp.json
- Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http vacaycue https://api.smartdadtravel.com/mcp`
- claude.ai / Claude Desktop: Settings -> Connectors -> Add custom connector -> paste the endpoint URL
- Any MCP client: add `{ "mcpServers": { "vacaycue": { "url": "https://api.smartdadtravel.com/mcp" } } }`

The first connection opens a browser authorization; the free tier works immediately after. Suggested workflow: set_family_profile -> get_planning_overview -> execute_plan.
