Search Airbnb listings within VS Code Copilot

The `search_listings` tool provides the main interface for this MCP Server, letting your development team query live properties using location, budget, and availability dates from the chat panel. VS Code Copilot reads the real-time API response to help you build search interfaces. For location-specific apps, developers can use `search_by_coordinates` to test proximity queries. Committing this server config to your repo means everyone on the team can run these queries instantly.

Inspect reservations using this MCP Server

The `get_reservations` tool retrieves booking lists to help your team build user dashboards. VS Code Copilot uses this data to map out booking statuses, trip dates, and host info in your code. You can also call `get_reservation` to dive into a single booking's details. This makes it easy to debug check-in instructions or cancelation logic using real production payloads.

Pull host reviews directly into your editor

The `get_reviews` tool pulls guest reviews for any listing directly into your VS Code Copilot workspace. Your team can use this feedback data to test sentiment analysis models or review-rendering components. Pair this with `get_host` to inspect host credentials and response rates. This allows you to verify that your profile cards and trust badges display host information correctly.
