Agoda launches open-source API agent
Online travel platform Agoda unveiled the open-source release of its API Agent, a universal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
This is designed to help developers connect MCP clients to GraphQL and REST services using natural language.
This avoids having to build separate integrations for each service, it says.
Operating a large-scale travel platform requires coordinating hundreds of internal services, each with its own schema and interface, Agoda says.
Agoda teams have made it simpler to manage dozens of services without individual MCP servers with its new, open-source API Agent.
API Agent enables developers to configure a target service, ask questions in natural language, and receive structured results.
For more advanced queries, API Agent includes SQL-based post-processing using DuckDB, enabling sorting and aggregation.
Idan Zalzberg, Chief Technology Officer at Agoda, said, “Many teams want to unlock internal tools for AI, but writing MCPs for each one is a major effort. API Agent takes a novel, zero-effort approach to that transformation.”
The API Agent is available now as open source at github.com/agoda-com/api-agent.
API Agent joins Agoda’s growing portfolio of open-source projects.
