What MAQAMI Travel does
According to its repository: “MAQAMI hotel and flight search with live rates and hotel details, then a secure checkout link on book.maqami.co.”
An MCP server gives an AI agent extra tools it calls during the conversation: the agent reads their description, decides to use them and gets the result back. MAQAMI Travel is listed under Maps, places and travel, a category of 67 servers in the directory, where it ranks #59 by stars.
Topics declared by the repository: flights, gemini-cli-extension, hotels, travel, ai-agents, claude.
Installing and connecting MAQAMI Travel
Distribution modes declared in the official MCP registry:
- npm package (Node.js, usually started with
npx) - remote server (streamable-http): you connect to it by URL, with nothing to install locally
Like any MCP server, you declare it in your client's configuration (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Codex…): a name, the command that starts it or its URL, and any environment variables. The client then starts it and lists its tools. Project language: TypeScript.
Security: what to check
An MCP server runs code with the rights you give it, and the model reads its tool descriptions: a malicious or compromised server can hijack the agent. Read the code, or pick a maintained and widely used server, before connecting it.
None of the risk signals we track (system access, secrets, missing licence, abandonment) applies to MAQAMI Travel. That does not replace reading the code.
Good practice: grant only the rights needed (least privilege), require human approval for irreversible actions, and run the AI agent security check.
Project activity and maintenance
Created on July 2, 2026, the negm17111995/mcp-server repository has 2 stars and 0 forks, with 1 open issues. It has more stars than 8% of the servers in the directory. It received changes this month. Version published in the registry: 1.0.9 (October 7, 2026).
Stars measure attention, not quality: a recent, heavily promoted project can collect them fast, while a useful but niche server will have few.
