In one sentence
MCP is a standard way to plug live data into an AI assistant. Think of a USB port. Your AI assistant is the laptop. Widgety’s cruise data is the device. MCP is the cable between them. MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. You’ll never need to use the term with clients.Why it matters
An AI assistant on its own only knows what it learned during training. It doesn’t know today’s fares, this season’s itineraries, or which cabins are left. Ask it about cruise prices and it will guess. Often confidently, and often wrong. With the Widgety Connector, it stops guessing and looks up real sailings instead.What happens when you ask a question
1
You ask
“What Alaska cruises leave Seattle in July 2027?”
2
The assistant calls Widgety
It picks the right Widgety tool, such as “search cruises”, and fills in the details from your question.
3
Widgety returns live results
Only sailings from cruise lines your agency is allowed to sell.
4
The assistant explains them
In plain English, ready to share with your client.
Is it safe?
Your API key stays private
Your API key stays private
When you connect through Claude, you paste your key on Widgety’s own page. The AI assistant never sees it.
You only see what you're entitled to
You only see what you're entitled to
Results follow your agency’s existing cruise line permissions. The connector can’t show you inventory you aren’t set up to sell.
Client details are only saved if you ask
Client details are only saved if you ask
The assistant can remember a client’s preferences for follow-ups, but only when you tell it to. You can ask it to forget them at any time.
