maviapi

maviapi MCP server

Give Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client live, structured JSON from websites that have no API: Booking.com, Airbnb, Tripadvisor, Kiwi.com, Trainline, Hepsiburada, Yemeksepeti and more, plus any site you ask for.

You:    Find me a 3-night Airbnb in Lisbon next month under €120 a night.

Claude: → search_apis "airbnb" → get_api "airbnb" → call_api airbnb/search {location: "Lisbon", …} Here are the 5 best-rated options under €120…

Agents are bad at the web. Browsing is slow, burns tokens on raw HTML, and stalls on bot protection; hand-written scrapers break the next time the site changes its layout. maviapi turns a website into a hosted, schema-first JSON API, and monitors and repairs it when the site changes, so the endpoint your agent depends on keeps answering. This server puts those APIs one tool call away.

Works with no setup. Out of the box it uses maviapi's shared demo key: 30 requests a minute and 300 a day per network, plus 3 free API builds per 30 days. Create a free key for more.

Missing a site? Your agent can have it built. create_api hands maviapi's build agent a URL and a description of the data you want; about half an hour later the new API is live and callable from the same session.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add maviapi -- npx -y @maviapi/mcp

with your own key

claude mcp add maviapi -e MAVIAPI_API_KEY=mvk_live_... -- npx -y @maviapi/mcp

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others

Add this to the client's MCP config (claude_desktop_config.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, …):

{

"mcpServers": { "maviapi": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@maviapi/mcp"], "env": { "MAVIAPI_API_KEY": "mvk_live_..." } } } }

Leave out env to try it with the demo key.

VS Code

.vscode/mcp.json:

{

"inputs": [{ "type": "promptString", "id": "maviapi-key", "description": "maviapi API key", "password": true }], "servers": { "maviapi": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@maviapi/mcp"], "env": { "MAVIAPI_API_KEY": "${input:maviapi-key}" } } } }

Tools

A handful of generic tools keeps the agent's context small however large the catalog grows. If you rely on a few APIs, MAVIAPI_TOOLS also exposes each of their endpoints as its own typed tool, with a full input schema:

claude mcp add maviapi -e MAVIAPI_TOOLS=booking,airbnb,kiwi -- npx -y @maviapi/mcp

adds booking_search, booking_explore, airbnb_listing_by_id, kiwi_search, …

What you can ask

• "Cheapest flights from Istanbul to Berlin any day in the first week of December?" (Kiwi.com, FlightList)
• "Train or plane from London to Paris on Friday: which is cheaper?" (Trainline, Kiwi.com)
• "Top-rated restaurants in Istanbul on Tripadvisor, with review counts."
• "Bu hafta sonu İstanbul'da hangi konserler var?" (Bubilet)
• "What are gold and silver trading at right now?" (Selcoin)
• "What does 'serendipity' mean in Turkish? Give me every sense." (Sesli Sözlük)

search_apis with no query lists everything currently in the catalog. And for a site that is not there yet:

• "Build me an API for news.ycombinator.com with the front page stories, points and comment counts, then show me today's top 5."

Configuration
