Connects to OpenVan's vanlife database. Muse can check current fuel prices across countries, compare costs for route planning, get weather suitability scores for van travel, find vanlife events and meetups, search vanlife news, compare food costs, convert currency, and verify visa and vehicle import rules for your passport and route.

Example request: "Find the cheapest diesel prices along my planned route from Germany to Turkey and check visa requirements for my Russian passport."

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use OpenVan Travel to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://mcp.openvan.camp/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.

Tools:
- get_fuel_prices: Current retail fuel prices for all API-supported countries. Supports the same price keys as /api/fuel/prices, including gasoline, diesel, LPG, CNG, E85, kerosene and grade variants. Pass country_code to get one country in detail; omit it for a summary list.
- compare_fuel_prices: Compare current prices for one fuel type across 2-10 countries. Returns sorted table cheapest-first.
- find_cheapest_fuel: Find the cheapest countries for a given fuel type in a region (or worldwide). Useful for route planning.
- get_vansky_weather: Get VanSky vanlife weather suitability score (0-100) for a country: van_score, sleep_score, solar yield, driving conditions, awning safety, condensation risk, 7-day forecast.
- list_vansky_top: List the top N countries with the highest VanSky van-travel suitability score today.
- list_events: List vanlife events: expos (Caravan Salon), festivals, meetups, forums, road trips. Filter by status, type, country, or free-text search.
- get_event: Get full details for a single vanlife event by its slug.
- search_stories: Search aggregated vanlife news stories (7 languages, 400+ sources). Filter by search query, category, country, locale.
- compare_vanbasket: Compare food price index between two countries (world average = 100). Higher number = more expensive food.
- get_vanbasket: Get VanBasket food price index details for one country.
- get_currency_rate: Convert an amount between two currencies using live rates (150+ currencies, daily updates).
- check_visa_rules: Entry rules for one passport and destination: entry mode, allowed length of stay, how the days are counted (per entry or in a rolling window), whether a visa run resets the counter, and temporary vehicle import. Answers carry a confidence level and source — pass those on instead 
- get_route_visa_rules: Visa rules for every country of a route in one call, for up to 10 passports at once, plus the tightest leg of the route.
- get_vehicle_import_rules: Temporary admission rules for a foreign-plated vehicle in one country: allowed days, per entry or per window, carnet requirement, green card. A country without a rule we can stand behind returns nothing rather than a guess.
- list_license_plate_countries: Countries whose license plates are available: international code, number of regions and an example plate.
- get_license_plate_country: How a country's license plate looks and reads (standard, size, format) and every region code on its plates, grouped by region — e.g. which region is 77 or 199 on Russian plates.
- check_license_plate: Validate a plate number against the country's format (look-alike letters are normalized) and say which region its code belongs to. Never identifies the owner or the vehicle's location.
- get_license_plate_image: Draw a license plate as an image (PNG shown inline, plus SVG/PNG links) exactly as openvan.camp renders it. custom=true draws any text, e.g. a name, in the plate layout.
