Departi MCP server
by Departi
Lets your AI check visa rules, tax residency, and Schengen days, and find places to stay, flights, and things to do in Europe.
Departi is a helper for people who live or work abroad in Europe, especially digital nomads and long-stay travellers. It answers the fiddly questions: do I need a visa, how many Schengen days do I have left, what happens with my taxes. Once it is connected, you can just ask your AI in normal words.
What is an MCP server? The 30-second version
On its own, your AI can only chat with you. It cannot look up live rules or search for flights. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to a service. This one connects your AI to Departi, so when you ask about a visa or a place to stay in Europe, your AI can go and check for you.
What this MCP server does
You ask your AI a travel question in plain words, like whether you need a visa for Portugal or how many Schengen days you have left. Your AI passes that question to the Departi helper. The helper looks it up in Departi's travel data, which covers visa rules, tax residency, Schengen counting, accommodation, flights, and local experiences across Europe. Then your AI writes the answer back to you in the chat, often with a booking link if you asked about a place to stay or a flight.
Click to zoomWhat you can do with it
- Check visa options for your nationality and destination
- Track your Schengen 90/180 days and see how many you have left
- Compare tax residency rules between European countries

Try asking your AI
- “I'm American and want to work remotely from Lisbon for 3 months starting in September. What visa do I need and what are the tax implications?”
- “How many Schengen days do I have left? I have a Portuguese D7 visa valid until 2027 and I visited Spain and France this year.”
- “I want to spend October in Split, Croatia. Find me a place under 1200 euros a month, flights from Brussels, and some local things to do.”
- “Compare tax residency in Portugal vs Bulgaria for a US freelancer earning 120,000 dollars a year.”
What it gives back to you
You get answers written in normal language in your chat: visa types and costs, how many Schengen days you have used and have left, tax thresholds and treaty notes, and lists of places to stay, flights, or activities with prices and ratings. Booking links come back as clickable links you can open yourself. Nothing is booked for you automatically. The tools are read-only, so they only look things up.
Before you start

Good to know
The visa and tax answers are guidance only, not official advice, so always double-check with the relevant embassy or a tax professional before you act on them.
Install it with your AI
