## Description

Managing hotel reservations usually feels like a game of "find the right tab." You have to open a dashboard, search for a guest name, copy the booking ID, open another window to check the price, and then manually type in updates. One wrong click or a typo in a guest's name can lead to overbooked rooms or incorrect billing. This Connector changes that by letting your AI agent handle the heavy lifting. Instead of you moving data from a spreadsheet into a booking system, you can just tell your agent to handle the task. You can have your agent find specific guest stays, create new reservations with specific dates and prices, or modify existing ones on the fly. It works as a bridge between your AI client and the booking system, making it much easier to build prototypes or test out new booking flows. Because Vinkius hosts this Connector, you can plug it into your existing setup and get started immediately. It's designed to handle the repetitive stuff like pulling booking IDs for specific names or checking the status of a reservation, so you can focus on the actual hospitality experience. It handles the repetitive data entry so you can focus on guest relations instead of manual form filling.

## Capabilities

### Create new hotel reservations
Generate a new booking with guest details, dates, and pricing in one step.

### Pull full booking details
Retrieve all metadata, including prices and stay dates, for a specific reservation.

### Modify specific booking fields
Update only the parts of a reservation that changed, like a price or check-out date.

### Delete old reservations
Remove outdated or incorrect records from the booking system permanently.

### Generate secure access tokens
Get the necessary credentials to perform sensitive write and delete operations.

### Check system health
Verify that the booking API is online and reachable before starting a task.

## Use Cases

### Verifying guest stay updates
A travel agency needs to check if a guest's stay was updated. The agent uses get_booking to see the current price and dates for a specific ID.

### Automating bulk test bookings
A QA engineer needs to run 50 test bookings. The agent uses create_booking in a loop to populate the system with test data.

### Modifying a single booking date
A front desk person needs to change one date on a booking. The agent uses partial_update_booking to change the check-out date while keeping the price.

### Checking API availability
A developer needs to know if the booking API is down. The agent runs health_check to confirm the system is reachable.

It works with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf. You just connect it and start managing your hospitality data.

**How do I find a booking ID for a specific guest?**
