• skill/tourmind-booking/ is distributed to users and defines the Agent's hotel-search, price-query, booking, payment, and update behavior.
• TourMind MCP-FORMAT.md defines the user-facing MCP connection example and the capability contract for the development team.

Product model

The MCP service provides stable enterprise hotel tools, including batch_query_room_rates for partial-success live-rate retrieval across up to 20 hotels. Search, single/batch rate, availability, and booking tools support repeated per-room adult/child occupancy. The local Skill defines the current user workflow and can evolve independently as search, ranking, price verification, booking, and display strategies improve.

Hotel-list and hotel-detail tools may return a read-only data.web_url. The companion Skill localizes the returned page to Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, or Arabic according to the user's language while preserving the complete access ticket; unsupported languages fall back to English.

Skill version and updates

The installed SKILL.md frontmatter is the single source of truth for the Skill version:

metadata:
  author: TourMind
  version: "<current-version>"

The Agent sends metadata.version only to check_skill_update when an update check is due. Hotel and order tools never receive a Skill version, and users never maintain it in the MCP connection configuration.

Authentication setup

Sign in to your TourMind account, then visit Create a Skill Token to create the token used by the MCP connection.

If you do not have an account, register for a business account at Business account registration. Developers and individual users should use the TourMind Skill version intended for their user type instead.

Configure the token as the MCP connection's Bearer credential and reconnect. Never paste the token into a conversation or expose it in prompts, logs, screenshots, commits, or issue reports.

User update experience

The Agent calls check_skill_update once when the Skill is first used in every new conversation, and again when an existing conversation resumes after at least 24 hours of inactivity. When that tool returns a visible skill_update:

1. Complete the user's current hotel request first.
2. Show the release message and explain that updating is recommended for TourMind's latest hotel-search and price-query strategy because older endpoints may become unavailable.
3. Offer to update from the official sources listed by release_source_url.
4. Obtain confirmation before changing local Skill files.
5. Update the Skill and frontmatter metadata.version together.
6. Validate that the installed metadata.version matches latest_version.
7. Use the new version in the next scheduled update check without asking the user to edit the MCP connection.

Development handoff

The server implementation must satisfy TourMind MCP-FORMAT.md, including all eleven tools referenced by the companion Skill. Transport framework, hosting, deployment, internal forwarding, and release infrastructure are development decisions and are outside this package.
