Inject real Airbnb listings into Cursor

The `get_listing` tool pulls live Airbnb property data directly into your active coding file. Your agent reads the exact JSON schema of a property to write clean, typed interfaces without relying on outdated documentation. Instead of writing mock data, you run the code generator while the agent queries actual listings. This means you build your frontend layouts using real bed counts, amenities, and host profiles.

Test reservations with this MCP Server

The `get_reservation` tool fetches specific booking details so you can build and test your travel confirmation workflows. Cursor uses this live payload to verify how your code handles active, completed, or cancelled trips. You can also call `get_reservations` to populate test dashboards with a user's actual travel history. This ensures your UI components render real-world edge cases correctly before you push to production.

Validate pricing logic inside Cursor

The `get_pricing` tool calculates exact costs for specific dates and guest counts directly within your editor. Cursor uses this tool to test your pricing calculators against real Airbnb fee structures. Combine this with `get_calendar` to test how your application handles seasonal rate hikes and minimum stay blocks. Writing reservation code becomes faster when your agent verifies the math against live API responses.

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
