    How to connect

    How to connect transita-mcp-server to Claude

    The server address to paste into Claude settings:

    https://transita.app/api/mcp

    1. Open Claude (claude.ai or the desktop app).
    2. Go to Settings → Connectors.
    3. Click Add custom connector.
    4. Paste the server address copied below into Remote MCP server URL and click Add.
    5. In a chat, click + → Connectors and switch the new connector on.

    Custom connectors are available on Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans (Free is limited to one). On Team and Enterprise an organization Owner adds the connector first under Organization settings → Connectors.

    Authorization

    After you click Add, a sign-in window for the service opens. Sign in with your own account and approve access. Claude never sees your password.

    How to connect transita-mcp-server to ChatGPT

    The server address to paste into ChatGPT settings:

    https://transita.app/api/mcp

    1. Open ChatGPT in a browser (chatgpt.com). A Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise or Edu plan is required.
    2. Turn on developer mode once: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode.
    3. Open Settings → Connectors and click Create.
    4. Fill in the form: Name (anything), Description (one line about what the service does), MCP server URL (copy it below).

    OpenAI has renamed this section before (Connectors → Apps/Plugins). If the label differs, search settings for "developer mode". On Business/Enterprise workspaces an admin must allow custom connectors first.

    On first use ChatGPT opens the service's sign-in window. Sign in and approve access.

    transita_match_visasScore a user's profile against every visa pathway Transita supports. Returns the top matches ranked by eligibility, with timeline, cost, and links to official sources. EU citizens automatically surface freedom-of-movement options first.
    transita_visa_detailsFetch full details for a single visa pathway: eligibility category, processing time, fees, validity, PR timeline, and a free preview of the document checklist (lead time, ancillary cost, first section). The full multi-section checklist is part of Transita's $9 paid action plan.
    transita_compare_visasCompare 2-3 visa pathways side-by-side. Returns processing time, cost, validity, PR-pathway, and a delta summary highlighting the fastest, cheapest, and most permanent option.
    transita_country_overviewGet summary data for a destination country: number of visa pathways, EU member status, score dimensions, drawbacks, top cities with rent ranges, and PR/citizenship timelines.
    transita_search_by_nationalityShow top destinations and recommended visa pathways for citizens of a given country. Ideal first stop for the question 'Where should I move?'. Returns 4-6 destinations with the best-fit visa for each, key stats, and FAQ. Falls back gracefully if a slug isn't yet curated.
    transita_programme_statusCheck the live intake status of a single visa pathway: whether it is currently open, the last selection round and cutoff score (for round-based programmes like Express Entry, AU SkillSelect, or the US H-1B lottery), what is expected next, and the official source. Call this before recommending a pathway so you never send a user toward a closed or paused programme. Continuous-intake visas return an 'open' status.
