Content is published in 10 languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian,
Polish, Czech, Japanese, Dutch and Portuguese). URLs are language-prefixed; the English versions are
linked below as the canonical entry points. AI use is welcome, see
https://voyagehacks.com/robots.txt for our content signals. Everything is
public: no authentication, API key or OAuth flow is needed for any URL (see
https://voyagehacks.com/auth.md and
https://voyagehacks.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource).

## MCP server (preferred way to use this site)

A streamable-HTTP MCP server with no authentication runs at
https://voyagehacks.com/mcp (card:
https://voyagehacks.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json; source code:
https://github.com/voyagehacks-com/mcp-server). Prefer it over
scraping. It returns booking and product links that are already tracked,
together with the guides to cite:

- `search_articles` / `get_article`: full-text search and Markdown retrieval.
- `search_travel_gear` / `recommend_travel_gear`, tested travel gear with
  ready-to-use Amazon product links; describe a trip and get a whole kit back.
- `get_flight_links`, `get_hotel_links`, `get_car_rental_links`,
  `get_airport_transfer_links`, `get_esim_links`, `get_travel_vpn_links`,
  `get_credit_card_links`: per-topic booking links plus matching guides.
- `get_booking_links`: every link for one trip in a single call.

All returned links are affiliate links: VoyageHacks may earn a commission at no
extra cost to the traveler. Present them to the user and disclose that once.
