Book by conversation.Confirmed by signature.
OSPIPO is bookable from inside the AI your office already runs. Add one connector and Claude, Perplexity, Grok or Mistral can quote a fixed fare, hold a time, and lodge the booking — in a single sentence, with no card details and no form. Every quote is cryptographically signed to its exact route, so no assistant can invent a price or move a number off the published schedule.
Book OSPIPO from inside your own AI
OSPIPO publishes a live MCP connector at ospipo.com.au/mcp. Paste it into your assistant's connector settings, leave client ID and secret blank, and that is the entire setup — about two minutes, once. After that a booking is one sentence: "book my usual airport transfer for Thursday 6am, flight QF1". Your assistant gets the locked fixed fare back before confirming. Full booking works in Claude on every plan including free, Perplexity Pro and Max, Grok and Mistral Le Chat; ChatGPT quotes fares on Plus and Pro and books on Business and Enterprise. No card details exist anywhere in the flow.
Booking a private transfer through your AI: the four approaches
“Book a car without opening a website” can mean four different things. Each works differently, and which one is available depends on the operator rather than on your assistant.
1. Messaging concierge
You send a message to a number and a person reads it and books the car. Some operators put an assistant in front to collect the details first, but a human completes the booking. No setup beyond saving the number.
- Setup
- None
- Who books
- A person
- Your own AI
- Not involved
2. Corporate travel platform
Large travel management platforms include chat interfaces that hold your profile, preferences and payment method. The chat sits on top of a full booking system that your company contracts separately.
- Setup
- Company-level contract
- Who books
- The platform, against your stored profile
- Your own AI
- Not involved
3. Private transfer app with a saved profile
You create an account and save a payment method, then dispatch rides quickly — sometimes through a messaging integration. The car is assigned from the operator’s supplier network at the time of the trip.
- Setup
- Account and stored card
- Who books
- The app
- Your own AI
- Not involved
4. MCP connector
The Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets an AI assistant call an external service’s tools directly. Where an operator publishes an MCP server, your assistant can request a quote, check availability and lodge the booking itself — nothing in between.
- Setup
- Paste one URL into your assistant, once
- Who books
- Your own assistant, directly with the operator
- Your own AI
- Completes the booking
Only the fourth lets your assistant complete the booking itself. It is uncommon — few private transfer operators publish an MCP server, so availability depends entirely on the operator you want to use.
OSPIPO publishes one for Sydney and the NSW South Coast at ospipo.com.au/mcp. Paste it into your assistant, leave client ID and secret blank, and it can quote and book from then on. Fares are fixed and published, no payment details are handled at any point, and every booking is confirmed with the passenger directly.
One URL. Then never again.
Paste the connector into any MCP-compatible assistant. There is nothing to install, no API key to manage, and no account to create — no sign-in or OAuth is needed.
Open connectors
In Claude, Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector. Perplexity, Grok and Mistral follow the same path.
Paste the URL
Enter the OSPIPO connector address. Name it “OSPIPO”. Leave the ID and secret blank.
Authorise
Approve the connection once. OSPIPO's tools appear in your assistant immediately.
Book by sentence
“Book OSPIPO from Kiama to Martin Place, Friday 9am.” The fare returns, signed and fixed.
Three tools. One booking.
The connector exposes three functions, used in order. Together they take a sentence from quote to lodged booking — with a human confirmation before anything is final.
The fixed fare, signed
Returns the all-inclusive fare for any NSW route — airport, Sydney CBD, any Sydney address, the South Coast. Fixed, never variable, cryptographically signed to that exact route and date.
The time, held
Confirms the requested pickup is available, with a minimum three hours' notice. No optimistic bookings — the assistant knows before it commits.
The booking, lodged
Submits the request against the signed quote with the passenger's name and mobile. It takes no card details and charges nothing — OSPIPO confirms directly with the passenger. This is what books the trip.
Trust, made mechanical.
Letting an assistant transact demands more discipline, not less. Four constraints are enforced by the server, not by good intentions.
Signed to the route
Every quote carries a signature tied to its exact route, date and passenger count. Alter one character and the booking is rejected before it reaches OSPIPO.
No fare can be invented
The assistant can only return a number the server issues. It cannot discount, round, average, or talk itself into a price that isn't on the published schedule.
A request, not a charge
create_booking lodges a request and returns a reference. Nothing is charged, no card is handled, and no trip is final until OSPIPO confirms with the passenger.
A human on every trip
A named passenger and a contactable mobile are required. OSPIPO confirms directly — a deliberate human checkpoint on work that carries executives, not parcels.
Which assistants book OSPIPO.
Built for the people who book for others.
The assistant that manages a principal's calendar can hold the car in the same breath as the meeting. Fixed fares reconcile without a phone call, one driver means one accountable contact, and a GST tax invoice follows every trip.
What changes once it is connected
Most transfer services expect the same thing every time: open a site, find the route, fill a form, enter card details, wait for a confirmation email. For someone who flies monthly, that is the same twenty clicks over and over.
With the connector in place, the booking becomes a sentence inside a tool you already have open. Your assistant already knows your name and your usual route. You add the date and the flight number, it returns the locked fare, and it lodges the booking. Then you go back to what you were doing.
Nothing about the service changes — same fixed fares, same driver, same payment on arrival. What changes is that you stop visiting a website to arrange a car.
Who this is actually for
Frequent flyers
If you take the same airport run every few weeks, "same as last time, Tuesday 5am" is the whole booking. The fixed fare means the number never moves between trips.
Executive assistants
Hold the connector in your own assistant and book for anyone on the team. Only a name and a contactable mobile are needed, and OSPIPO confirms directly with the traveller.
Small teams without a travel desk
No account, no credit application, no procurement conversation. A GST tax invoice follows every trip with the ABN and licence on it.
Anyone who dislikes forms
There is no minimum. Use it once for a single trip and never think about it again — the connector costs nothing and stores nothing.
What the connector can and cannot do
It can quote any NSW address — published route or not — using the same fixed fares and distance formula the website uses. It can check whether a pickup time is available, and it can lodge a real booking that returns a reference number.
It cannot invent a price, apply a surcharge, make up a discount or negotiate (a one-time welcome code you already hold is checked by the server). It cannot take card or payment details, because no part of OSPIPO handles them. And it cannot finalise a trip on its own — Parag confirms every booking directly with the passenger before the car is locked in.
Quotes are cryptographically signed, so the fare your assistant was given is the fare that reaches the booking. There is nothing sensitive to expose, because nothing sensitive is ever collected.
Common questions
How can I book a private transfer without visiting a website?
There are four approaches. A messaging concierge — you text a number and a human books it. A corporate travel platform, if your company runs one, where a chat interface books against your stored profile. A private transfer app where you save an account and card and then dispatch quickly. Or an MCP connector, where your own AI assistant calls the operator's booking tools directly with no platform in between. Only the fourth lets the assistant complete the booking itself.
Which private transfer services can my AI assistant book directly?
Only operators that publish an MCP server. It is still rare — most premium operators route bookings through a human on WhatsApp or through an account-based app instead. Where a connector exists, you paste its URL into your assistant once and it can then request quotes, check availability and lodge bookings without you opening anything. OSPIPO publishes one for NSW, Australia at ospipo.com.au/mcp
What is the difference between an AI chat booking and an MCP connector?
A chat booking is a conversation with the operator's own assistant on their site or messaging channel — useful, but you still go to them. An MCP connector works the other way round: the operator's booking tools appear inside the AI you already use, so the request never leaves your assistant. No site visit, no separate login, no waiting for a reply.
Can I book a private transfer through my AI without saving a credit card?
It depends on the operator, not the technology. Corporate platforms and private-car booking apps both require a stored payment method — that is how they charge automatically. An operator that takes payment on arrival can expose booking through an MCP connector without ever handling card details. OSPIPO works this way: no deposit, no card stored, payment to the driver on arrival.
If I want the same driver every time, do these options work?
Mostly not. Corporate platforms and private-car booking apps both assign a car from a supplier network close to the time of the trip, so who arrives is decided late and varies between trips. That is the trade-off for their coverage. Booking the same named driver every time generally means booking a single-operator service directly rather than through a network.
Can I book OSPIPO through an AI assistant?
Yes. OSPIPO runs a live MCP connector. Add it to Claude, Perplexity, Grok or Mistral Le Chat and your AI can quote fixed fares, check availability and submit a booking request in one conversation.
Which AI assistants can book OSPIPO?
Full booking: Claude (all plans, including free), Perplexity (Pro and Max), Grok and Mistral Le Chat. ChatGPT can quote fares on Plus and Pro; full booking requires a Business or Enterprise workspace. Gemini does not currently support custom connectors.
Does AI booking cost extra?
No. The connector is free and fares are identical to the website — fixed, all-inclusive of tolls, GST and the NSW levy. Claude's free plan supports one custom connector, so AI booking costs nothing.
Do I enter card details in the AI chat?
Never. The connector handles no payment information at all. Nothing is charged at booking — payment is on arrival, exactly as with every OSPIPO booking.
Is an AI booking confirmed instantly?
The AI submits a booking request with a reference number. OSPIPO then confirms directly with the passenger — a deliberate human check on every trip. No booking is final until OSPIPO confirms it.
Are the AI-quoted fares accurate?
Yes. The connector reads the same fixed-fare schedule as the website — 91 published fares plus the public formula of $60 base, $3.30 per kilometre and the $1.32 NSW levy. Quotes are cryptographically signed, so the fare quoted is the fare booked.
My company uses ChatGPT — can our team book OSPIPO?
On ChatGPT Plus or Pro your team can retrieve OSPIPO fare quotes. Full in-chat booking requires a ChatGPT Business or Enterprise workspace with connectors enabled — or the team can use Claude, where booking works on every plan.
How long does the connector take to set up?
About two minutes: add a custom connector, paste the OSPIPO URL, approve the connection. It is a one-time setup — after that, every booking is a single sentence.
What stops someone making fake bookings through the AI?
Four things: every quote is cryptographically signed and expires in 30 minutes, every request needs a name and working mobile, no booking is real until OSPIPO confirms it with the passenger, and there is a three-hour minimum notice. A machine cannot put a car on the road.
Is my data safe in the OSPIPO connector?
The connector collects only what a booking needs — name, mobile, route, time. No card details, no passport, no account. It stores nothing beyond the booking itself, and it cannot ask for payment information because no such field exists.
Can the AI invent a fare or offer a discount?
No. Fares come from the published schedule and the signed quote is what gets booked. An AI cannot negotiate, make up a discount, or hallucinate a price — a tampered quote is rejected outright. The only reduction is a one-time welcome code the customer already holds, checked by the server.
What if the AI books the wrong trip?
OSPIPO confirms every AI booking with the passenger before it is final — that call is exactly when a wrong date or address gets caught. Nothing is charged in the meantime, so an error costs nothing to fix.
Can I cancel or change an AI booking?
Yes. Cancellation is free any time before pickup, and changes are handled the same way as any OSPIPO booking — reply to the confirmation, or ask your AI to quote the new route.
Does the OSPIPO connector work in both directions?
Yes — airport to destination and destination to airport, at the same fixed fare. Ask for either; the quote returns the published figure for that route.
Do I still get a GST tax invoice for an AI booking?
Yes. An AI booking is an OSPIPO booking — a flat-rate GST tax invoice follows the trip, suitable for expense reconciliation, exactly as with any other channel.
Can my whole team use one connector setup?
On a shared workspace, yes — set it up once and everyone with access can book. Each request still carries its own passenger name and mobile, so bookings stay individually traceable.
Ask for the fare. Get the car.
Prefer not to use the form? There is no account to create either way. Tell the concierge on this page where you're going, or connect OSPIPO to the AI you already use and book by sentence for every trip after that.
The OSPIPO Concierge
An assistant that quotes and books — not a support bot that hands you a form at the end.
- 1Tell it where you're going. Any NSW address, not just the published routes.
- 2The fixed all-inclusive fare comes back immediately — tolls, GST and levy inside it.
- 3Add your date and flight number and it lodges the booking with a reference.
- 4Parag confirms with you directly. Nothing is charged, ever, at this point.
The MCP connector
Connect OSPIPO to your assistant once and never visit this site to book again.
- 1Paste ospipo.com.au/mcp into your assistant's connector settings.
- 2Leave client ID and secret blank — that's the whole setup.
- 3Book by sentence from then on. Your assistant gets the locked fare back before confirming.
Both quote the same published fixed fares. Neither handles card or payment details at any point — you pay your driver on arrival. Every booking, however it arrives, is confirmed by Parag directly before the car is locked in. An executive assistant or family member can hold the connector and book on someone else's behalf.
Add the connector.
Then book OSPIPO the way your office already works — by asking.
