Vibe, Navan Launch MCP Servers

Business Travel News

Navan and UK-based travel technology provider Vibe have each launched Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that connect their corporate travel platforms to mainstream AI assistants. The servers allow AI tools to query travel data and, in Vibe’s case, support end-to-end booking and trip management while keeping TMC controls, policies and content intact. Navan is starting with a read-only deployment for safer experimentation, while Vibe is already live in testing with ITG Business Travel.
