Instafan MCP Server

MCP serverSearch

Plan trips with friends from first ideas to a finished itinerary. Once added, your AI can search destinations by mood, pull together live briefs, and surface top spots with photos. It then organizes everything into a day-by-day plan you can follow.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

After adding it, tell your AI where you want to go or the mood you are after, and who is coming along. It can start with a mood search and build out the plan from there.

Then ask your AI: use Instafan MCP Server to find destinations

What your AI can do with it

  • Search destinations by mood
  • Pull together live trip briefs
  • Find top spots with photos
  • Build day-by-day itineraries
  • Plan a trip together with friends

From the project's README

As published by gustavoatar/instafan-mcp in README.md.

Let AI agents plan real trips — where to go for a mood, what a destination is like right now, its strongest Google-rated places with photos, and a day-by-day plan — using Instafan's live data (Google Places, climate normals, official safety advisories).

Hosted, no install, no auth. Streamable-HTTP endpoint:

Tools

ToolWhat it doesInputs
find_destinationsA trip mood or constraint set ("somewhere warm in November, food-first") → 3–5 destination suggestions with the why.mood (required)
destination_briefOne destination: the story, typical weather this month, official safety verdict, a postcard photo link.destination (required)
top_spotsThe strongest real Google-rated places — top attractions by default, or a specific ask like "rooftop bars" — with photo links. Never invented.destination (required), query
build_itineraryA day-by-day plan built from the destination's strongest places.destination, days (both required)
spot_photosUp to two real photos of one spot, embedded inline as MCP image blocks plus direct links, credited to their Google Maps authors.destination (required), spot

Example

"Build me a Lisbon trip for my wife and I in the best weather."

The agent calls destination_brief → learns Lisbon is 18–26°C with ~4 rainy days right now and officially rated relaxed; top_spots → real rated places with photos; spot_photos → Belém Tower, inline; build_itinerary → a day-by-day plan. Every answer links back into instafan.app, where the trip becomes a group decision — immerse in 3D, save spots, let the group vote.
