Perplexity

Search listings inside Claude Desktop

The `search_listings` tool is the core of this MCP Server, letting you find properties by location, price, and guest count directly inside your chat. Your agent takes your prompt, hits the Airbnb API, and returns matches with pricing, ratings, and booking links. When you need pinpoint accuracy, the `search_by_coordinates` tool narrows down options around exact coordinates with a custom radius. You get immediate geographical matches instead of guessing proximity on a separate map.

Inspect property details using this MCP Server

The `get_listing` tool pulls detailed property profiles including bed counts, check-in instructions, and guest review summaries. Your agent reads this data to verify if a place actually fits your trip requirements before you commit. You can also run `get_host` to check host credentials and reliability, or use `get_reviews` to read raw guest feedback. This stops you from booking bad listings by letting Claude Desktop analyze the actual history of the property.

Check live rates and availability

The `get_calendar` tool fetches the availability calendar for any listing to show open dates and minimum stay rules. Claude Desktop checks these dates against your schedule to prevent booking conflicts. Run `get_pricing` with your exact dates and guest count to calculate the total cost including fees and taxes. This stops surprise costs because your agent calculates the real price before you head to the checkout page.
