Trip1 Agent Skills

A plugin that lets agents book hotels on Trip1 through the Trip1 MCP server, paid in USDC on Base over x402.

Ships one skill, hotel-booking, which activates when the user wants to find, compare, or book a hotel.

What's in the box

• .claude-plugin/plugin.json — Claude Code / Claude Desktop plugin manifest
• .mcp.json — wires the Trip1 remote MCP server so the plugin is self-contained
• skills/hotel-booking/SKILL.md — the skill that orchestrates the full booking flow

Install

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add trivial-corp/agents
/plugin install trip1@trivial-corp/agents

The MCP server and the skill come in together. Restart the session so Claude Code picks up the new MCP connection.

Claude Desktop

Two options.

As a local plugin. Download agents.zip from the latest release, then in Claude Desktop go to Customize → Personal plugins → Upload local plugin and drop the zip in.

As a connector. If you only want the MCP server without the skill, add the connector directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "trip1": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://trip1.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, any SKILL.md-compatible agent

npx skills add trivial-corp/agents

This installs the skill. Add the MCP server separately via your client's MCP config (same JSON as above).

ChatGPT

ChatGPT supports remote MCP connectors. In Settings → Connectors → Add, point it at:

https://trip1.com/api/mcp

The skill doesn't apply here; ChatGPT doesn't load SKILL.md files. The tool descriptions in the MCP server carry enough intent for ChatGPT to drive the flow on its own.

Cowork and other MCP-aware clients

Any client that speaks remote MCP (Streamable HTTP) can add Trip1 as a connector. Paste the same mcpServers block above, or the bare URL https://trip1.com/api/mcp if the client accepts URLs directly.

Local development

git clone https://github.com/trivial-corp/agents
cd agents
claude --plugin-dir .

What the skill does

The skill is instructions, not code. It tells the agent:

• when a hotel-booking intent is present and the skill should activate
• which Trip1 MCP tools to call, in what order, with which arguments
• how to handle the x402 payment handshake and the CoinGate fallback
• how to report results and recover from rate drops, payment failures, and polling timeouts

Paying on the agent's behalf

For fully hands-off agent payments, load an x402-capable wallet MCP alongside Trip1. The simplest option:

npx @coinbase/payments-mcp

Without it, purchase_hotel returns a CoinGate URL that a human finishes in a browser. CoinGate takes USDC and 50+ other cryptocurrencies.

Releasing

Bump version in .claude-plugin/plugin.json and merge to main. The release.yml workflow tags vX.Y.Z, packages agents.zip (full plugin bundle) plus one zip per skill under skills/, and publishes them to a GitHub release.

To cut a release from an existing commit instead, push a tag manually: git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "..." && git push origin vX.Y.Z. The same workflow handles it.
