# Stopful — free, map-first road-trip planner

> Stopful (https://stopful.com) is a free, map-first road-trip planner. Add stops on a map and it computes
> drive time and distance for every leg, splits the route into days, finds hotels and EV chargers
> along the way, tracks a budget, and lets you share the whole trip as a link. No account or
> sign-up is required to plan, save, or share — and neither is one needed to open a shared link.

## Key facts
- Free. No account needed to plan, save, or share; recipients of a share link need no account either.
- Up to 60 stops per trip, anywhere in the world.
- Features: per-leg drive time & distance, automatic day-splitting, EV chargers along the route,
  hotel booking with dates/guests prefilled, a warning when an overnight stop has no bed booked,
  budget tracking with a fuel estimate, forwarding a booking-confirmation email into the trip,
  a built-in AI planner, printable itinerary, and safe no-account collaboration via a share link.

## For AI agents and assistants
There are two ways to put a trip in front of a Stopful user. In both, the agent plans the
itinerary; Stopful renders and enriches it (routing, drive times, hotels, chargers, budget).

1. Open-a-trip URL (no auth, works for anyone). Build:
   https://stopful.com/?trip=<BASE64>
   where <BASE64> is URL-safe base64 (map + and / to - and _, drop = padding) of a JSON object:
   {"name":"Trip name","startDate":"YYYY-MM-DD","stops":[{"name":"City","lon":<num>,"lat":<num>,"nights":<int>}]}
   Only stops (each with a name) is required; decimal lat/lon are strongly preferred — otherwise
   the place name is geocoded. Opening the URL renders the trip on the editable map.

2. MCP server (JSON-RPC 2.0 over HTTP POST, open access):
   https://stopful.com/api/mcp
   Tool: plot_trip — args: stops (required; each {name, nights, lat?, lon?, sub?}), name?,
   startDate?, guests?. Pass stops in driving order. Returns a https://stopful.com/?trip=... link the
   traveller can open, tweak and book from. Call again with the full updated stop list to modify.
