# Travel Check jobs

Each section below walks through one job with the tools of the `travel` MCP server. The same recipes are MCP prompts (prompts/list) on `https://api.openkrill.app/gateway/mcp`.
Connect the server at `https://travel.openkrill.app/mcp` in your MCP client settings (remote streamable HTTP, no key), then call its tools as normal tool calls. They are not command line programs: Bash, curl and scripts cannot reach them.

## Get travel advice

Job: Get travel advice, with the Travel Check MCP server.

Use the `get_travel_advice` tool for this job.

Work on the user's request. If there is none yet, ask what they need. A request this job handles: "What is the current travel advice for Thailand?"

Steps:
1. Call `get_travel_advice` as a normal MCP tool call, with the request's values in the fields of its inputSchema. It needs `country`.
2. If a value the tool needs is missing and you cannot tell it from the request, ask the user one short question first.
3. This input is known to work; copy its format, not its values: `{"country":"Thailand"}`
4. For the request "What is the current travel advice for Thailand?", a correct answer looks like this: status ok with the UK FCDO alert text, reviewedAt date and latest change, and the US State Department level and summary with an updated date, both with official links, plus the note that UK advice is for British citizens and US advice for US citizens and the OGL attribution.
5. Follow the server's own rules:
   - Use these tools for questions about official government travel advice for a country and about current airport conditions.
   - For one country, call get_travel_advice with the country name or ISO code; set section to entry-requirements, safety or health when the user asks about one of those.
   - Always give the user the dates and the source links, and say that UK advice is written for British citizens and US advice for US citizens, so entry rules for other passports can differ.
   - Do not claim a country is safe or unsafe in your own words: quote the advisory level or alert as the government states it.
   - Do not give visa, medical or legal advice, and do not present airport weather as a flight-planning source.
   - If the UK or US half is none or unavailable, report the other half and the official link, and do not guess.
   - FAA delay information covers US airports only, and no tool looks up a flight by number.
6. If the call fails or the answer looks wrong, tell the user, then report it with `submit_feedback` (kind bug, tool `get_travel_advice`).

## Compare travel advisories

Job: Compare travel advisories, with the Travel Check MCP server.

Use the `compare_advisories` tool for this job.

Work on the user's request. If there is none yet, ask what they need. A request this job handles: "Compare the UK and US travel advice for Mexico, Colombia and Peru."

Steps:
1. Call `compare_advisories` as a normal MCP tool call, with the request's values in the fields of its inputSchema. It needs `countries`.
2. If a value the tool needs is missing and you cannot tell it from the request, ask the user one short question first.
3. This input is known to work; copy its format, not its values: `{"countries":["Mexico","Colombia","Peru"]}`
4. For the request "Compare the UK and US travel advice for Mexico, Colombia and Peru.", a correct answer looks like this: status ok and three countries, each with the UK alert text and review date and the US level text and update date, with official links; the citizenship note is included once.
5. Follow the server's own rules:
   - Use these tools for questions about official government travel advice for a country and about current airport conditions.
   - For several countries, call compare_advisories with up to five.
   - Always give the user the dates and the source links, and say that UK advice is written for British citizens and US advice for US citizens, so entry rules for other passports can differ.
   - Do not claim a country is safe or unsafe in your own words: quote the advisory level or alert as the government states it.
   - Do not give visa, medical or legal advice, and do not present airport weather as a flight-planning source.
   - If a result is ambiguous, ask the user which of the candidates they mean and call again; in compare_advisories check each country's own status.
   - If the UK or US half is none or unavailable, report the other half and the official link, and do not guess.
   - FAA delay information covers US airports only, and no tool looks up a flight by number.
6. If the call fails or the answer looks wrong, tell the user, then report it with `submit_feedback` (kind bug, tool `compare_advisories`).

## Get airport status

Job: Get airport status, with the Travel Check MCP server.

Use the `get_airport_status` tool for this job.

Work on the user's request. If there is none yet, ask what they need. A request this job handles: "Is JFK having delays right now?"

Steps:
1. Call `get_airport_status` as a normal MCP tool call, with the request's values in the fields of its inputSchema. It needs `airport`.
2. If a value the tool needs is missing and you cannot tell it from the request, ask the user one short question first.
3. This input is known to work; copy its format, not its values: `{"airport":"JFK"}`
4. For the request "Is JFK having delays right now?", a correct answer looks like this: status ok, icao KJFK, faa.status ok with a delays list (empty when the FAA reports none) and an updated time, and a metar with flight category, temperature, wind, visibility and observation time, plus the raw TAF. The answer states it is not for flight planning.
5. Follow the server's own rules:
   - Use these tools for questions about official government travel advice for a country and about current airport conditions.
   - For an airport, call get_airport_status with its IATA or ICAO code.
   - Always give the user the dates and the source links, and say that UK advice is written for British citizens and US advice for US citizens, so entry rules for other passports can differ.
   - Do not claim a country is safe or unsafe in your own words: quote the advisory level or alert as the government states it.
   - Do not give visa, medical or legal advice, and do not present airport weather as a flight-planning source.
   - If the UK or US half is none or unavailable, report the other half and the official link, and do not guess.
   - FAA delay information covers US airports only, and no tool looks up a flight by number.
6. If the call fails or the answer looks wrong, tell the user, then report it with `submit_feedback` (kind bug, tool `get_airport_status`).
