MCP Server Documentation

What it does

The Hit The Road MCP server lets AI assistants search and compare live campervan and motorhome rental availability directly — no browser required. Ask Claude to find a campervan in Sydney and it returns real options from 300+ rental companies, complete with pricing, specs, and a direct booking link.

The connector is read-only. It queries publicly available inventory and returns pre-filled search links to hittheroad.rentals so users can compare and book directly. No personal data is processed.
