Transita MCP server

@transita/mcp-server

Immigration eligibility intelligence for Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, Continue, Zed, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

Transita figures out which country you should move to — and runs the whole relocation. This MCP server exposes the same matcher, country comparisons, visa checklists, and nationality guides that power transita.app, so you can ask any AI assistant "where should I move?" and get a real, sourced answer.

The server is a stateless shim. It calls the public Transita JSON API, so visa data updates the moment transita.app redeploys. No data lives in this package.

Install

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claudedesktopconfig.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "transita": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@transita/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. The Transita tools should appear in the input box.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "transita": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@transita/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Cline (VS Code extension)

Open the Cline MCP settings panel and add:

{
  "transita": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@transita/mcp-server"]
  }
}

Continue, Zed, any other MCP client

Use the same pattern — command: npx, args: ["-y", "@transita/mcp-server"].

What it exposes

Tools (5)

Resources (4 base + dynamic templates)

• transita://visas — full active visa catalogue
• transita://countries — destination countries + visa counts
• transita://nationalities — index of curated nationality landing pages
• transita://nationality/ — single nationality page (e.g. transita://nationality/indian)

Prompts (3)

• find-my-visa — guided eligibility quiz then transitamatchvisas
• compare-options — drives transitacomparevisas with a chosen set of ids
• where-should-i-move — open exploration starting from nationality

Try it

Once installed, ask your AI assistant questions like:

• "I'm an Indian software engineer with a master's and 5 years of experience. Where should I move?"
• "Compare the US O-1A, Germany's EU Blue Card, and Portugal's D8 — which is fastest, cheapest, and which has the best path to permanent residency?"
• "What does Portugal's D8 digital nomad visa actually require?"
• "How do destination scores compare for Germany versus the Netherlands?"

The model will pick the right Transita tool, call it, and synthesise the answer. Visa data is verified by the Transita team monthly; every match links back to the official government source.
