Pawgo MCP Server

Real-time pet travel data for AI assistants. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible AI to Pawgo's database of airline pet policies and country import requirements.

Pawgo tracks 130+ airlines and 100+ countries with 200+ requirement fields per entity — cabin/cargo rules, breed restrictions, carrier dimensions, vaccination requirements, quarantine rules, health certificates, fees, and more.

Why this exists

Pet travel information is scattered across airline PDFs, government websites, and outdated blog posts. Rules change constantly. Pet owners get conflicting answers and sometimes get turned away at the airport.

Pawgo's AI agent crawls official sources daily and structures everything into a single verified database. This MCP server makes that data available to any AI assistant, so when someone asks "Can I fly my French Bulldog on Delta?" — the AI gives an accurate, up-to-date answer.

Quick start

pip install pawgo-mcp
