# CollabsMap — Full Documentation for AI Agents

## Overview
CollabsMap is the largest database of travel brand collaboration opportunities for content creators.
It indexes hotels, resorts, tour operators, DMOs (Destination Marketing Organisations), airlines,
and cruise lines that have active influencer collaboration programs.

## Live Statistics
- 1128 travel brands listed
- 1073 collaboration opportunities
- 135 countries covered
- 1037 cities with active programs
- 3299 travel creators registered
- 200M+ combined followers across their connected accounts
- 1.1B+ views on their posts from the last 90 days

## Public API (v1)

Base URL: https://collabsmap.com/api/v1/
Rate limit: 100 requests/hour per IP
Authentication: None required

### URL policy
Responses include only canonical CollabsMap URLs. Each listing carries a
"url" pointing at https://collabsmap.com/listing/{slug}; each opportunity
carries "url" (https://collabsmap.com/opportunity/{slug}) and "apply_url"
(https://collabsmap.com/apply/{id}). Partner-owned URLs (websites, external
apply forms) and image URLs (logos, covers) are deliberately excluded —
the public API never hands out off-platform destinations.

## MCP Server (for Claude, Cursor, Cline, Continue, custom agents)

CollabsMap publishes a Model Context Protocol server so AI agents can query
the data above as a first-class tool — no glue code or custom HTTP wrappers needed.

Package: @collabsmap/mcp-server (npm)
Source:  https://github.com/videreo/collabs/tree/main/packages/mcp-server

### Connect to Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
  { "mcpServers": { "collabsmap": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@collabsmap/mcp-server"] } } }

### Connect to Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json:
  { "mcpServers": { "collabsmap": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@collabsmap/mcp-server"] } } }

### Connect to Cline / Continue
Same { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@collabsmap/mcp-server"] } shape — see each tool's docs.

### Tools exposed
- search_collabs({ country?, type?, compensation?, platform?, limit? })
    Search listings/opportunities by country slug, brand type, compensation, or platform.
- get_listing({ slug })
    Fetch one listing with active opportunities. Wraps GET /api/v1/listings/{slug}.
- get_destination_stats({ slug })
    Aggregate stats for a country. Wraps GET /api/v1/destinations/{slug}.
- list_destinations()
    All destinations with active programs. Wraps GET /api/v1/destinations.

The MCP server is read-only and uses the same 100-req/hour public API. Rate-limit
errors propagate to the host LLM as a structured CollabsApiError so it can back
off cleanly.
