■ About NEWT MCP (Model Context Protocol)

NEWT MCP is a travel information search and reference function that complies with MCP (Model Context Protocol), a new standard specification for AI technology.

MCP is an open protocol that connects AI agents with external tools, enabling AI to securely and flexibly obtain and utilize information from external services. By complying with this standard, NEWT MCP allows AI agents such as Claude to search and reference travel information like NEWT's tours and hotels in real-time.

This will enable customers to search, compare, and receive travel suggestions within natural conversations with AI, aiming to realize an unprecedented intuitive travel experience.

■ Key Features of NEWT MCP

By utilizing NEWT MCP, AI agents can obtain and utilize the following travel-related information in real-time:

・Search for tours and hotels (supports conditions such as destination, dates, and number of people)

・Check detailed information for tours and hotels (e.g., plan details, facility information)

・Real-time confirmation of availability and prices

・Obtain image data for tours and hotels (supports main image for lists and multiple images for details)

■ Usage Examples

By combining these functions, the following experiences and services can be built:

・Slack Business Trip Assistant: Simply talk to AI from internal Slack to search and suggest hotels and tours for business trips.

・Personal Travel Concierge: AI proposes a complete itinerary based on preferences and budget.

・Multilingual Inbound Support: AI provides real-time travel information in response to inquiries in foreign languages.

・Travel Media Writing Support: AI assists in creating articles and descriptions based on the latest travel information.

■ Operational and Safety Considerations for Release

To ensure smooth adoption by external users, we are developing usage procedures and concrete application examples (skills, instruction sets, etc.). Furthermore, to create a secure environment for use, we are concurrently developing operational and security mechanisms, including log management for monitoring usage and preventing misuse, and appropriate discrimination between internal and external use.

■ Future Outlook

NEWT MCP aims to make access to travel data more flexible, leading to the creation of various applications and experiences.

NEWT will continue to redefine the travel experience with technology, maintaining an AI-first approach. As part of these efforts, NEWT MCP aims to become the infrastructure connecting AI agents and travel, and we will continue to develop and expand it.
