Sóley works in any AI client that supports remote MCP servers over Streamable HTTP with OAuth.

What you can ask

Once connected, try one of these:

Plan a 5-day Ring Road trip for two in October.
Is the road from Vík to Höfn open right now?
What are my chances of seeing the northern lights tonight, and where should I go?
Find a cosy guesthouse near Vík this weekend and book it.

Sóley answers with real-time data from official Icelandic sources, and when you are ready it can book directly with the operator. The operator is always the merchant of record.
