What is the Searchumrah AI connector?
The Searchumrah AI connector is a free, public Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Any AI assistant that supports MCP can connect to it and search live Umrah packages from verified travel agencies — by departure city, month, budget, trip length, hotel distance to the Haram and star rating — then open full package and agency details, and get a prefilled checkout link to book on searchumrah.com. No API key and no sign-up are needed to search. Pilgrims who want more can connect their Searchumrah account (signing in on searchumrah.com, never in the chat) so the assistant can check their bookings and save favourites.
Which AI assistants can use it?
Any assistant or tool that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) over HTTP — including ChatGPT (developer mode), Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and the OpenAI, Anthropic and xAI (Grok) APIs.
Do I need an API key or an account?
No. Searching packages, agencies and departure cities is free and needs no key or sign-up. Fair-use limits apply per network.
Can an AI assistant book an Umrah package for me?
It can get you most of the way: it finds and compares packages, then gives you a prefilled checkout link for your party and room type with an indicative total. You open it, add traveller details and pay on searchumrah.com, where the price is confirmed and your payment can be held by RBI-authorised Razorpay until you travel. The assistant never books or pays itself.
Can my assistant check my existing bookings?
Yes, if you connect your Searchumrah account. Add the signed-in connector URL, sign in on searchumrah.com when asked, and allow it. It can then show your bookings, their status, payment and visa progress, and save favourites. It never sees traveller names, passports or phone numbers.
How do I disconnect an assistant from my account?
Open Account settings on searchumrah.com and press Disconnect next to it under “Connected AI assistants”. Its access stops immediately.
Are the prices and packages the same as on the website?
Yes. The connector uses the same live query, fair ranking and price display as searchumrah.com, so an assistant quotes exactly what the package page shows.
Which agencies appear?
Only travel agencies Searchumrah has verified. Unverified, deactivated or unpublished listings are never returned.
Does the connector share agency phone numbers or pilgrim data?
No. It returns public catalogue information only. Agency contact details and any pilgrim personal data are never exposed.
I am a travel agency. What do I need to do?
Nothing. Once your agency is verified, every package you publish on Searchumrah is automatically searchable by AI assistants through the connector.
