Quickstart
In ChatGPT, Claude, Muse, or another MCP-compatible client, choose an existing or hosted MCP connection and use the Canadian AI endpoint below.
Endpoint: https://mcp.canadian-ai.ca/mcp Authentication: OAuth with PKCE Account required: Yes
The endpoint stays stable across releases. The server advertises a commit-derived semantic patch version, so every deployed commit can be identified without changing client configuration.
- 1.Add the hosted MCP endpoint.
- 2.Choose OAuth with PKCE.
- 3.Sign in to Canadian AI and authorize the requested scopes.
- 4.Ask your client to discover the available Canadian AI tools.
Access requirements
A Canadian AI account and OAuth authorization are required. Read-only workspace, travel deal, and site discovery tools are available to authenticated users. Travel results link to the original source; fares and availability should be verified before booking. Some AI-powered tools consume CAI credits. Creating and publishing a CAI Site requires the normal CAI Sites purchase or subscription entitlement; the MCP connection does not bypass billing requirements.
Authentication
Canadian AI uses OAuth with PKCE for MCP clients. Clients should request only the scopes needed for the current action.
Workspace, tools, features, sites, and templates
Credit balance and recent metered usage
Run metered AI tools or create entitled sites
Available tools
Tool availability can evolve. MCP clients should use capability discovery instead of hard-coding assumptions about the current catalog.
