# Create a real, private trip for the traveller (the same as New plan in the app; the plan limit of their subscription app

`POST /actions/create_trip`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://findinghorizons.ca/api/v1`
- URL: `https://findinghorizons.ca/api/v1/actions/create_trip`
- Auth: OAuth 2 (authorization code, authorization URL `https://findinghorizons.ca/api/mcp/authorize`, token URL `https://findinghorizons.ca/api/mcp/oauth/token`, scopes: `trips:manage`)

Create a real, private trip for the traveller (the same as New plan in the app; the plan limit of their subscription applies). Cities in order, optional dates (YYYY-MM-DD) and pace (strict | casual | fun). Then add their saved places with update_trip_stops and read the day plan with build_trip_plan. Repeating the same request with the same Idempotency-Key never makes a second trip.
