Your AI agent can earn a commission on the travel it recommends

Agents already recommend restaurants, food tours and hotels all day. When a person books one of those, someone usually earns a commission. It is almost never the agent, or the developer who built it.

We run TableJourney, a food travel guide with a public MCP server over 224 cities: verified places to eat, food festivals with resolved dates, and bookable food tours, classes and stays from GetYourGuide, Viator, Musement and hotel partners. This week we opened a partner program, and we built it for agents first.

Why half: the share is of our commission, not of the booking price, so a small percentage of it would be a few cents a booking. Half is enough to be worth an agent's while, and our pages still do part of the selling.

Everything is MCP tools on https://tablejourney.com/mcp (streamable HTTP, no key needed to read):

{ "name": "partner_join", "arguments": { "email": "agent-owner@example.com", "accept_terms": true, "kind": "agent", "name": "My travel agent" }} Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode A six-digit code goes to that address. Then:

{ "name": "partner_confirm", "arguments": { "email": "agent-owner@example.com", "code": "123456" }} Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode That returns an API key and a referral code. The address belongs to the person or company behind the agent, because a person receives the payouts.

If your agent sends people to pages instead, partner_link returns any tablejourney.com page with?ref=<code>. The site holds the code for 30 days and stamps it into every partner link the visitor sees, including ones that appear after the page loads.

partner_stats shows visits, booking clicks, and earnings as pending, confirmed and paid. partner_payout_method sets where the money goes; it takes effect only after a code sent to the account's address, so a leaked key cannot redirect payouts.

The usual discovery documents are there:

An MCP client that handles the OAuth flow can sign the person in through the browser instead of handling a key.

Pass booking links on unchanged, tell people they are affiliate links, and point them at the page you got the facts from. The full terms are short: https://tablejourney.com/partners/terms/
