Saudi Partner connector
Ask your AI assistant about Saudi travel trade, and get answers straight from Saudi Partner.
The Saudi Partner connector links AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT to the official Saudi Partner website. Travel agents, tour operators, DMCs, airlines, hotels and MICE planners can look up trade events, trade offers, training courses, tourism businesses and Content Hub photos and videos, and get answers with the official page link.

How to connect
Add it to your assistant in about two minutes
You add the connector once. After that it is there whenever you chat. Keep this address handy:
https://partner.visitsaudi.com/mcp
Claude
- Open Settings, then Connectors.
- Choose Add custom connector.
- Name it Saudi Partner and paste the connector address. Leave any sign in fields empty.
- Select Add. In a new chat, make sure Saudi Partner is switched on in the tools menu, then ask your question.
ChatGPT
- Open Settings, then Apps & Connectors (in some versions, Connectors).
- Under Advanced settings, turn on Developer mode if your plan requires it.
- Choose Create, name it Saudi Partner, paste the connector address, and set authentication to No authentication.
- Save, then pick Saudi Partner from the tools in a new chat.
Other assistants
- Any assistant or app that supports MCP connectors can use the same address.
- Add a new MCP server, choose the Streamable HTTP transport, and paste the connector address.
- No authentication is needed. Save it and start a new chat.
These apps update their menus often, so a button may be named slightly differently. Company accounts managed by an administrator may need the administrator to allow custom connectors first.

Questions partners ask
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Saudi Partner account?
No. The connector is open to everyone and needs no sign in. To download a Content Hub file or register for a course, sign in on the website itself.
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants use outside services. The Saudi Partner connector is an MCP server. You do not need to know how it works, only its address.
Does it cost anything?
No. The connector is free. Your AI assistant may have its own plan.
Which languages does it speak?
English and Arabic. Ask in either language and the assistant answers in the same one.
Is my conversation shared with Saudi Partner?
The connector only receives the search it needs, such as "trade events in Riyadh". It never asks for personal details, so there is no need to type any into your questions.
How fresh is the information?
It reads the live partner website, so it is as current as Saudi Partner itself.
The answer looks wrong. What should I do?
Open the page link in the answer and check the website. If the website itself needs a correction, let us know through the Contact us page.
My assistant does not use it.
Check that the connector is switched on for the chat, or start your question with "Use Saudi Partner to...".
