Orizn Visa Mcp

mattjeff/orizn-mcp-server

Connects Claude to Orizn's visa requirement database covering 39,585 passport-destination pairs across 199 countries in 15 languages. Exposes six tools: check_visa_requirement returns full details including fees, processing times, photo specs, transit rules, overstay penalties, and embassy locations with up to 32 data points per query. quick_visa_check gives fast yes/no answers on visa type (free, required, on arrival, e-visa). check_transit_visa handles layover rules for 50 major hubs like DXB and IST. get_all_destinations and get_visa_changes require paid tiers. Free tier works without an API key for basic checks. Reach for this when building travel planning tools, itinerary agents, or anything that needs current visa policy data beyond simple yes/no answers.

Optional. Without it, quick_visa_check (10 checks/day), get_coverage_stats and get_recent_changes still work. A key lifts that cap and unlocks documents, fees, processing times, transit rules and 15 languages. Free key (100 requests/month, no credit card) at https://visa.orizn.ap

Readme

Orizn Visa API MCP Server

Orizn Visa API MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives an AI assistant the visa and entry requirements for any passport/destination pair, answered in 15 languages.

It covers 49,750 pairs — 199 passports × 250 destinations (as of October 2026). Coverage grows: the get_coverage_stats tool reads the current figure live from the API (also public at https://visa.orizn.app/api/v1/visa/stats).

It answers questions like "do I need a visa to go from France to Japan", "what documents does a US citizen need for China", "can I leave the airport during a layover in Istanbul on an Indian passport" — with data, not a guess.
