What data it sees

Do you need an account

No: the server works without sign-in

Kiuli designs bespoke luxury African safaris. This server opens two things to an AI assistant. First, a research corpus: 250 long-form safari articles, 69 reviewed lodge and camp pages, 44 destination guides and 27 priced sample itineraries, exposed through search and fetch so an assistant can read and cite them with real kiuli.com URLs. Second, planning: plan_safari turns a brief into a structured itinerary sketch drawn only from places Kiuli has actually been, and request_inquiry_handoff passes it — with the traveller's explicit consent — to a human travel designer. Bespoke sketches never carry an invented price.

Server tool list (7)

Raw names from tools/list. Only developers need these.

searchSearch Kiuli’s published corpus — long-form safari articles, reviewed lodge and camp pages, destination guides, and sample itineraries. Returns matching documents with a stable id and the public kiuli.com URL for each. Use the returned id with the fetch tool to read the full text of a document.
fetchRetrieve the full text of one published Kiuli document by the id returned from the search tool. Returns the title, body text, the public kiuli.com URL for citation, and light metadata. Ids look like "article:<slug>", "property:<slug>", "destination:<slug>" or "itinerary:<slug>".
plan_safariTurn a natural-language safari brief into a structured Kiuli itinerary sketch — countries, properties, transfers and best months — drawn only from Kiuli's catalogue. Returns a planning sketch, not a quote: no price is invented, and Kiuli confirms a single final figure after checking availability. The sketch carries an opaque `reference` string that request_inquiry_handoff needs if the traveller later asks to be put in touch with a designer.
search_propertiesSemantic search across Kiuli's published safari properties (lodges and camps). Returns customer-safe details — name, type, description, star rating, destination. No prices.
list_published_itinerariesList published sample Kiuli itineraries with public sample "from" prices, optionally filtered by country, a price ceiling, or interests. Useful for orientation and price anchoring.
get_published_itinerary_by_slugFetch one published sample Kiuli itinerary by its slug, including the day-by-day breakdown and public sample pricing.
request_inquiry_handoffSubmit a completed planning sketch (from plan_safari) to a Kiuli travel designer with the traveller's contact details. This creates a REAL inquiry. Requires the reference returned by plan_safari, the traveller's name and email, and confirm="EXECUTE". Only call this once the traveller has explicitly agreed to be contacted.
