The Model Context Protocol (MCP).
We are witnessing a historical shift in connectivity. Just as HTTP standardized the web, MCP standardizes how AI models connect to the world's data.
The Fourth Era.
Every major technological shift requires a standard language to unlock global scale. We are currently transitioning from the API era to the Context era.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that enables AI models to safely connect to external tools and data.
Unlike a website, which requires a human to click, an MCP Server allows an AI to "read" your live availability and "write" a reservation directly into your hotel system.
> Status: Open Source (Linux Foundation)
> Role: The "USB-C" of AI applications
The Integration Flow
Your hotel systems connect to the Sigtrip MCP Server via Ameniti middleware. This creates the technical bridge.
Your inventory appears as a native "Booking Capability" within ChatGPT's app directory, not as a search result link.
Critical: Users must actively enable the app. Once enabled, you become their default booking engine for future queries.
