Jaunt inside ChatGPT & Claude
Ask ChatGPT or Claude to plan your trip with Jaunt’s live flights and hotels.
Connect Jaunt once and your assistant can search live fares, plan around your dates and book — checking with you first. Two steps to set up, then what to say.
Jaunt server URL
https://api.usejaunt.com/mcp Step 1: Have a Jaunt account
Your assistant connects to your own Jaunt account, so you’ll need one. New to Jaunt? Enter your email and we’ll create your account — no password.
Sign in or create an accountWe’ll email you a sign-in link, then bring you straight back here.
Step 2: Pick your assistant
Before you start
- Use a laptop or desktop browser — Jaunt can’t be added from the ChatGPT phone app.
- You’ll need a paid ChatGPT plan. Availability varies by plan.
Jaunt server URL
https://api.usejaunt.com/mcp -
Open chatgpt.com in the same browser you’re signed in to Jaunt on.
-
Open Settings and turn on Developer mode. It’s under Security and login — or Apps → Advanced settings on some accounts.
-
Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click +. A box called New Plugin opens.
-
Type Jaunt in Name. Description is optional — “Live flights and hotels” is plenty.
-
Leave Connection set to Server URL (not Tunnel), and paste
https://api.usejaunt.com/mcpinto the box underneath it. -
Set Authentication to OAuth. Leave Advanced OAuth settings closed — Jaunt needs nothing changed in there.
-
Tick I understand and want to continue under the orange warning, then click Create. ChatGPT shows that warning for every custom server OpenAI hasn’t reviewed; being listed in their directory is what removes it, and we’re working on that.
-
A Jaunt window opens — approve it.
-
In a new chat, click + → Developer mode and pick Jaunt, or type @Jaunt.
-
When ChatGPT asks permission to use Jaunt, choose Always allow.
Before you start
- Works on every Claude plan. Once connected, Jaunt is in Claude’s iPhone and Android apps too.
- On a Team or Enterprise plan only an owner can add a custom connector. Once yours has added Jaunt, find it under Customize → Connectors and click Connect.
Opens claude.ai in a new tab. Claude’s free plan allows one custom connector.
-
Claude opens Add custom connector with Jaunt’s name and URL filled in, and a note that they came from a link. Check the URL is
https://api.usejaunt.com/mcp, then click Add. -
Click Connect and approve the Jaunt window that opens.
-
In a chat, click + → Connectors and make sure Jaunt is switched on.

-
Name it Jaunt, paste the server URL
https://api.usejaunt.com/mcpand click Add. Leave any sign-in or advanced settings as they are. -
Click Connect on Jaunt and approve the Jaunt window that opens.
-
In a chat, click + → Connectors and make sure Jaunt is switched on.
Step 3: Start every chat with this
ChatGPT only uses Jaunt when you point it at Jaunt — until Jaunt is listed in its directory. These are the words that do the pointing.
Paste this at the start of a chat
The @Jaunt at the front is what selects the connector — leave it out and ChatGPT won’t use Jaunt at all. Mention @Jaunt again if a later question needs a fresh search.
Or set it once
Put this in Settings → Personalization → Custom instructions and ChatGPT carries it into every chat. It can’t switch Jaunt on for you — what it does is make ChatGPT say when Jaunt isn’t there, instead of quietly answering from memory.
Claude can use Jaunt as soon as it’s switched on for the chat, so this is a nudge rather than a switch — it asks for real prices instead of general advice.
Paste this at the start of a chat
Switch Jaunt on for the chat first — + → Connectors → Jaunt.
Or set it once
Claude keeps account-wide instructions under Instructions for Claude: click your initials in the bottom-left corner, open Settings, and it’s on the Account tab. Whatever you put there applies to every conversation.
Ask it like this
A deadline plus a bit of flexibility is what makes Jaunt better than a search box. Tell it when you have to be somewhere, and the window you could travel in.
Ask the same trip as one fixed date and Jaunt behaves like any other search box. Ask it with a deadline and a window and Jaunt searches every date in the window, and leans towards nonstops — a connection is what makes you miss a 10am.
Step 4: Try it
Start a new chat with Jaunt switched on and paste one of these. Tap one to copy it.
How much of your chat does Jaunt use?
Assistants read in tokens — small pieces of words — and each chat can only hold so many. Jaunt uses some of them, so here is roughly how many.
- When Jaunt is switched on
- About 10,000 tokens
- Your assistant reads Jaunt’s list of tools, so it knows what Jaunt can do.
- Each search
- About 700–1,800 tokens
- The flights, plan or hotels that come back. A full page of hotels is the most.
To keep your chats light
- Switch Jaunt on only in chats about travel.
- Ask for one trip at a time.
- Start a new chat for a new trip.
How much this counts toward your limits depends on your assistant and your plan. Claude’s help centre suggests turning off connectors a chat doesn’t need, and starting a new chat when a long one gets close to your usage limit.
Our own estimates, measured on 14 September 2026 for Jaunt’s slimmer tool list. Your assistant may count differently.
