Fair meeting points for AI — isochrone-based fairness, not naive midpoints.

MCP server for AI-driven meeting point discovery. Give your AI the ability to answer "where should we meet?" using real travel times, venue availability, and fairness algorithms.

Works out of the box — free public routing, no API keys needed. Self-host Valhalla for unlimited queries, or use L402 Lightning credits for our hosted endpoint.

Tools

Quick start

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rendezvous": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["rendezvous-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Then ask your AI: "Where's a fair place for Alice in London, Bob in Bristol, and Carol in Birmingham to meet for lunch?"

Remote (HTTP/SSE)

For ChatGPT, remote AI agents, or any client that connects over HTTP:

TRANSPORT=http npx rendezvous-mcp

Starts a Streamable HTTP server on port 3002 with the MCP endpoint at /mcp.

ChatGPT connector

In ChatGPT settings, add an MCP server with:

• URL: http://your-host:3002/mcp
• Transport: Streamable HTTP

Configuration

Self-hosted routing

For unlimited queries with no rate limits, run your own Valhalla instance:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rendezvous": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["rendezvous-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "VALHALLA_URL": "http://localhost:8002"
      }
    }
  }
}

How it works

1. User asks "Where should we meet?"
2. AI geocodes participant locations
3. AI calls search-venues to find candidate venues near the area
4. AI calls score-venues with participants + candidates — returns ranked results with travel times and fairness scores
5. AI presents the fairest option with travel times for each person

For deeper analysis, the AI can use get-isochrone to visualise reachability and get-directions for turn-by-turn navigation.

L402 payments

The default routing endpoint (routing.trotters.cc) offers free requests. When the free tier is exhausted, tools return a payment_required response with a Lightning invoice. After payment, call store-routing-credentials to store the macaroon for the session.

Self-hosted Valhalla has no payment requirement.
