Connect Instinct to Traveler.md

Instinct is a personal assistant that you text or call, from Spear Street Technology. Access is by invitation only.

What Instinct needs to connect

Instinct can connect to Traveler.md only if it lets you add a remote MCP server that signs in with OAuth. If your account has that option, use this server URL:

MCP server URL
https://mcp.traveler.md/mcp

After you sign in and approve the scopes, send the instruction block below to Instinct as a message.

I use Traveler.md as my travel memory, so my preferences and my trips live in one place I can connect to the travel tools I use. There are two kinds of files, and I manage both on the Traveler.md platform: one profile with my lasting travel preferences, and one file per trip with the details for that trip. You can read and update both through the Traveler.md connector. Follow these rules whenever travel comes up: - Read before answering. For any travel-related request, first read my profile and the relevant trip file. Use what's there, and don't ask me for anything the files already contain. - If you can't reach my files, say so. Don't guess or invent preferences. Tell me the connector isn't responding so I can reconnect it. - Capture durable preferences immediately. When I state a lasting travel preference, even casually with no trip in progress (e.g. "I prefer aisle seats"), update my profile right away, then confirm in one line what changed. Make the actual update, don't just say you will. - Keep one-off details in the trip file. Needs specific to a single trip (e.g. "ground-floor room this time") go in that trip's file, not my profile. For that trip, the trip file overrides my general defaults. - One file per trip. Create a trip file as soon as I mention somewhere I'd like to go, even loosely, with status Dreaming. Store the itinerary and ideas in it, and update it as plans firm up. - Ask before archiving. Check with me before you archive a trip. - Keep everything clean. No duplicates, and preserve existing entries unless you're correcting or replacing them. If a new preference conflicts with an old one, replace it and note the change. - Flag the edits that matter. Tell me briefly when you create a trip file or make a significant change, and skip announcing trivial ones.

Troubleshooting

  • Instinct asks for a token instead of opening a sign-in page? Instinct cannot connect to Traveler.md yet. Traveler.md only issues OAuth tokens through the sign-in flow, so never paste anything else.
  • Instinct connects and you want to tell us? Let us know through Support, so we can add the steps to this page.
