Permissions
You decide what it can do in your Your Next Tours account
Your assistant only works inside your Your Next Tours account. The first time you connect, you see every permission on its own line and choose which ones to allow. Security
Only your account
Your assistant works on your own account, and on company data only as far as your role allows.
Guest details stay out
Participant names and e-mails, form answers and announcements to guests are not part of the first connection. Your assistant has to ask for them separately.
Some things are never available
An assistant can never make payments, see your password or Wi-Fi passwords, or start a live broadcast.
Disconnect at any time
Remove the connector in ChatGPT or Claude. Sign out of all devices in your settings ends every AI connection at once.

Questions
Can it import the tour programs I already have?
Yes. Attach a PDF or Word file in ChatGPT or Claude, or paste the link of a tour page, and ask it to turn it into a program. Your assistant reads the file or page and creates the program in your panel as a draft, so you can check days, times and prices before you use it. Reading a link needs web access turned on in your assistant.
Is this an MCP server?
Yes. Your Next Tours connects through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard ChatGPT, Claude and other AI tools use to work with outside services. You don't need to know anything about it: you sign in, choose permissions and talk to your assistant. Any MCP client that supports sign-in can connect the same way.
Do I need a paid ChatGPT or Claude plan?
On ChatGPT, custom connectors currently need a paid plan with Developer mode turned on. On Claude, custom connectors are available on its plans, with limits on the free plan; on Team and Enterprise an owner adds the connector once for everyone. Both providers change their plans from time to time, so their own setup guide is the final word.
Does it cost anything on Your Next Tours?
No. The connector works with every Your Next Tours account, including the free one. What your assistant can do follows your account: website tools need a company account on the Enterprise plan, translating your website uses your translation credits, and company data follows your role in the company.
What can the assistant see?
Only what you allow when you connect, and only in your own account. Participant names and e-mails and form answers are not part of the first connection. An assistant can never make payments, see your password or Wi-Fi passwords, or start a live broadcast.
Where does my data go?
What your assistant reads from Your Next Tours is processed by your AI provider (OpenAI for ChatGPT, Anthropic for Claude) under their terms, so allow only what you need. On our side, every action the assistant takes on your account is recorded for your security. Privacy policy
How do I disconnect?
Remove Your Next Tours from the connector settings in ChatGPT or Claude. To end every AI connection at once, use Sign out of all devices in your panel settings.
How do I set it up?
It is easy. Choose Connect ChatGPT or Connect Claude on this page. After you sign in, your panel shows the steps for your assistant and the address to paste; it takes about 30 seconds. Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and Gemini CLI are set up from the same place.
Say what you need. It does the rest.
Connect your assistant once and hand over the busywork: programs, trips, guest lists and your website.

The Your Next Tours MCP server, explained
What the connector is, what it can do on your account, why it saves real work and how your data stays under your control.
What is the Your Next Tours MCP server?
The Your Next Tours MCP server is a connector that lets AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude work directly on your Your Next Tours account. It uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard AI tools use to read from and act on outside services.
Once connected, your assistant can read your own tours, programs, trips and ratings, and with your permission create and update them. You sign in with your Your Next Tours account and approve each permission; there is no API key to copy and nothing to install.
What can the assistant do on my account?
The connector covers the work tour guides and tour companies do before and after a tour. What is available follows your permissions, your role in a company and your plan.
Tour templates
Create and edit tour templates with slides, info cards, a stop schedule and collectibles, and choose who can see them.
Add an info card about opening hours to my Old Town template.
Programs
Build multi-day programs with days, stops, times and info cards, from a PDF, a web page or a short description, and duplicate them for new seasons.
Duplicate my summer program for the autumn season and move the start to 09:30.
Trips and guests
Open a trip from a program, set dates and capacity, add stops and guests, and prepare personal invitation links for you to share.
Open a trip for 12 May with 24 places and add the guests in this list.
Announcements and trip status
Tell every guest on a trip about a delay or a cancellation, and mark a trip as started or completed. These notify your guests, so they need a separate permission you approve on its own.
Tell the guests of tomorrow's trip that we start 30 minutes later.
Ratings and statistics
Read your ratings, comments, trends and audience numbers, per tour or per trip, and get a plain-language summary.
Which of my tours got the lowest ratings this year, and why?
Forms and check-ins
Create, update and close forms. Reading form answers needs a separate permission because they contain guest data.
Create a check-in form that asks for dietary needs.
Support
Open a support ticket, read replies and answer them without leaving the conversation.
Open a support ticket saying the QR code on my last trip did not scan.
Company and team
For company owners and managers: statistics per guide, activity history and pending invitations. Owners can also invite members and change team roles.
Which guide in our team ran the most tours last month?
Company website
Edit pages, tours and prices on your company website, translate it, draft legal pages and publish when you say so. Needs a company account on the Enterprise plan.
Update the prices on my website for next season and publish it.
Why is this better than pasting into a chat?
A plain chat can only give general advice. With the connector your assistant works on your real account, so the result is already in your panel when the conversation ends.
No retyping. A program that already exists in a PDF or on a web page becomes a program in your panel in one request, instead of being entered stop by stop.
Answers from your own data. Questions about ratings, trips or guests are answered from your account, not from guesses.
Busywork in one message. Adding a list of guests to a trip, updating a season's prices or preparing another language version of your site becomes one request instead of many clicks.
Drafts you control. New programs are saved as drafts and your website is published only when you ask, so you check the result before anyone else sees it.
How is my data protected?
The connector is built so that an assistant can only do what you allow, on your own account.
Sign-in uses OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, the standard way to give an app access to an account. Your password is never shared with the assistant.
You approve each permission on its own line. To withdraw access, remove the connector in your assistant or sign out of all devices.
Participant names and e-mails, form answers and announcements to guests are not part of the first connection; the assistant has to ask for them separately.
An assistant can never make payments, see your password or Wi-Fi passwords, or start a live broadcast.
Every action the assistant takes on your account is recorded, and Sign out of all devices ends every AI connection at once.
Which AI tools work with it?
Any MCP client that supports sign-in can connect. These are the most common ones; your panel shows the exact steps for each.
