## Supported Tools

| Tool slug | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `VIATOR_MCP_GET_EXPERIENCE_DETAILS` | Get experience details | Retrieves enriched information for a specific Viator experience, including detailed descriptions, highlights, imagery, pricing, duration, key features, and the click-out URL.The model should call this tool only when the user clearly refers to a specific experience—either by selecting it in the UI or by asking follow-up questions such as “Tell me more about…”;if multiple experiences were shown, the model must resolve ambiguity by asking which one the user means. This tool is intended for deepening experience understanding rather than search, and should only be invoked with a code previously returned by search_experiences. |
| `VIATOR_MCP_SEARCH_EXPERIENCES` | Search experiences | Retrieves a curated list of Viator experiences based on a free-text search of what the user wants (destination, activity type, and preferences), plus trip dates and optional refiners (budget, duration, etc.). The model must supply a non-blank searchTerm as natural language describing where and what the user is looking for (e.g. "walking tours in Paris, France", "kid friendly food experiences in Rome"). Dates, prices, duration limits, and currency belong in their dedicated parameters—not inside searchTerm. The model must provide searchTerm and dates before calling this tool. The model may re-issue a refined searchExperiences call whenever the user adds, removes, or adjusts refinement criteria (e.g., kid-friendly, price range, shorter duration) to narrow or improve the results. If the tool returns zero results, the model must proactively guide the user toward a successful refinement. It should review the parameters used in the failed request and recommend the most appropriate based on the proposed logic:" If > 1 categories applied, suggest removing some categories. Eg: “It looks like those categories combined are too restrictive. Would you like to narrow it down?” If the query requests a specific feature (eg private tour), suggest removing this constraint. Eg: “Private tours may be limited in this area, would you like to consider group options too?” If duration (avg from/to) > XX, suggest trying a shorter duration. If duration (avg from/to) < XX, suggest trying a longer duration. If price constraint was applied, suggest widening (or removing) price limits. Else, suggest broaden location search. Eg: “Nothing matches in central Siena, should we try Tuscany or nearby towns?” |

```python
from openai import OpenAI
from composio import Composio
from composio_openai import OpenAIResponsesProvider

composio = Composio(provider=OpenAIResponsesProvider())
openai = OpenAI()
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')

tools = session.tools
response = openai.responses.create(
  model='gpt-4.1',
  tools=tools,
  input=[{
    'role': 'user',
    'content': 'Find top-rated walking tours in Paris this weekend for two adults'
  }]
)
result = composio.provider.handle_tool_calls(
  response=response,
  user_id='your-user-id'
)
print(result)

```typescript
import OpenAI from 'openai';
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { OpenAIResponsesProvider } from '@composio/openai';

const composio = new Composio({
  provider: new OpenAIResponsesProvider(),
});
const openai = new OpenAI({});
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');

const tools = session.tools;
const response = await openai.responses.create({
  model: 'gpt-4.1',
  tools: tools,
  input: [{
    role: 'user',
    content: 'Find top-rated walking tours in Paris this weekend for two adults'
  }],
});
const result = await composio.provider.handleToolCalls(
  'your-user-id',
  response.output
);
console.log(result);
```

### Path 2: MCP Server Setup

#### Path 2, Step 1: Install Composio

Install the Composio SDK for Python or TypeScript
```python
pip install composio claude-agent-sdk
```

```typescript
npm install @composio/core ai @ai-sdk/openai @ai-sdk/mcp
```

#### Path 2, Step 2: Initialize Client and Create Tool Router Session

Import and initialize the Composio client, then create a Tool Router session for Viator MCP
```python
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');
console.log(`Tool Router session created: ${session.mcp.url}`);
```

#### Path 2, Step 3: Connect to AI Agent

Use the MCP server with your AI agent (Anthropic Claude or Mastra)
```python
import asyncio
from composio import Composio
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeSDKClient, ClaudeAgentOptions

composio = Composio(api_key='your-composio-api-key')
session = composio.create(user_id='your-user-id')
url = session.mcp.url

options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
    permission_mode='bypassPermissions',
    mcp_servers={
        'tool_router': {
            'type': 'http',
            'url': url,
            'headers': {
                'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key'
            }
        }
    },
    system_prompt='You are a helpful assistant with access to Viator MCP tools.',
    max_turns=10
)

async def main():
    async with ClaudeSDKClient(options=options) as client:
        await client.query('Search Viator for family-friendly snorkeling activities in Cancun next week')
        async for message in client.receive_response():
            if hasattr(message, 'content'):
                for block in message.content:
                    if hasattr(block, 'text'):
                        print(block.text)

asyncio.run(main())
```

```typescript
import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { openai } from '@ai-sdk/openai';
import { experimental_createMCPClient as createMCPClient } from '@ai-sdk/mcp';
import { generateText } from 'ai';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: 'your-composio-api-key' });
const session = await composio.create('your-user-id');

const client = await createMCPClient({
  transport: {
    type: 'http',
    url: session.mcp.url,
    headers: {
      'x-api-key': 'your-composio-api-key',
    },

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Do I need my own developer credentials to use Viator MCP with Composio?

No. Viator MCP uses no-auth access in Composio, so you can start building travel search and booking agents without configuring developer credentials. Composio still handles the tool routing, execution logs, and agent-ready schemas for you.

### Can I use multiple toolkits together?

Yes! Composio's Tool Router enables agents to use multiple toolkits. [Learn more](https://docs.composio.dev/tool-router/overview).

### Is Composio secure?

Composio is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliant with all data encrypted in transit and at rest. [Learn more](https://trust.composio.dev).

### What if the API changes?

Composio maintains and updates all toolkit integrations automatically, so your agents always work with the latest API versions.
