Vibe and Navan launch MCP servers for AI-powered travel management
Navan and Vibe separately launched Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, enabling users to query travel data, book and manage travel through AI environments like Claude and ChatGPT. Navan initially offers read-only data queries, with future plans for expense approvals and booking. Vibe's MCP allows corporate travelers to search and book flights, hotels, and rail via AI platforms.
