Plan and book your Dubai yacht charter through your AI assistant
Imperial Yachting runs a live connector for ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. Your assistant can browse our real fleet, check availability, build a quote, and hand you a secure payment link — right inside your chat.
https://imperialyachting.com/api/mcpWhat the assistant can do
The connector exposes real, live tools — every answer reflects our current fleet, prices, and calendar.
Browse the fleet with real prices
List every yacht with capacity, specs, and hourly/daily rates by season — pulled live from our database, not a static description.
Check availability on a date
Ask for a specific date and time window; the assistant checks it against our real booking calendar and suggests open slots.
Build a quote with extras
Mention catering, decor, a photographer, DJ, or jet ski, and the assistant assembles a full itemised quote including the 50% deposit.
Get a secure payment link
Once you're ready, the assistant generates a hosted Stripe Checkout link for the deposit — we never see or store your card details.
Check booking status
Ask "did my deposit go through?" and the assistant can look up the booking status directly.
Booking tools (checking availability, building a quote, creating a checkout link, and looking up a booking) are being finalised and will light up on this same connector — no reconnection needed once they ship.

Cursor & other MCP clients
Add this to your client's MCP configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"imperial-yachting": {
"url": "https://imperialyachting.com/api/mcp"
}
}
}Stdio-only clients (via mcp-remote)
If your MCP client only speaks stdio and can't connect to a Streamable HTTP URL directly, bridge it with mcp-remote:
{
"mcpServers": {
"imperial-yachting": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://imperialyachting.com/api/mcp"]
}
}
}Try asking your assistant
Once connected, plain-language questions like these work directly.
“Find me a yacht for 12 guests in Dubai next Friday afternoon, budget around AED 3,500/hour.”
“Is the Monte Carlo 6 available on the 20th of next month from 2pm to 6pm?”
“Put together a quote for a birthday cruise: 4 hours, 10 guests, add catering and a photographer.”
“What's included in the hourly rate, and how much is the deposit?”
“I'd like to book — send me a payment link for the deposit.”
How payment works
Your assistant never handles your card. Every payment happens on Stripe's own secure page.
1. Quote
The assistant builds an itemised quote and holds the price for 30 minutes.
2. Checkout link
It generates a secure, hosted Stripe Checkout link — no card details ever pass through the chat or our servers.
3. 50% deposit
You pay a 50% deposit on Stripe's page to confirm the booking. A confirmation email follows immediately.
4. Balance
The remaining balance is requested 48 hours before departure, by a separate secure link.
We never see or store your card details — payment is processed entirely by Stripe.
Privacy & safety
What data is shared
Only the details needed to plan or book a charter: your preferred dates and guest count, and — only once you choose to book — the name, email, and phone number you give for the reservation. Nothing else from your conversation reaches us.
Rate limits
The connector is rate-limited per IP address to keep it reliable for everyone. Normal browsing and quoting stays well within the limit.
No account, no auth
Read-only tools are public by design, so anyone can browse the fleet with no sign-up. Payment is still gated behind Stripe's own hosted checkout.
Terms & contact
Bookings made through the connector follow the same Terms of Service as the website. Questions? Reach us at booking@imperialyachting.com.
Frequently asked questions
No. Imperial Yachting's MCP connector is public and read-only for browsing — no login, API key, or account is required to look up the fleet, destinations, or availability.
The payment link points to Stripe's own hosted Checkout page (checkout.stripe.com), the same secure payment processor used across our website. We never see or store your card details, and the assistant never asks for them directly.
Only what's needed to build a quote or booking: your preferred dates, guest count, and — once you choose to book — the name, email, and phone number you provide for the reservation. We don't receive your chat history or anything else from your AI assistant.
Any client that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) over Streamable HTTP, including ChatGPT, Claude (web, desktop, and mobile), Perplexity, and developer tools like Cursor. Setup steps for each are on this page.
It can build the quote and generate a secure payment link, but the booking is only confirmed once you pay the deposit yourself on Stripe's page — the assistant cannot charge you.
Yes, the connector is rate-limited per IP address to keep the service reliable for everyone. Normal use — browsing the fleet, checking a few dates, building a quote — is well within the limit.
