How to Use the Apaleo MCP in Cursor
Write custom hotel booking integrations in Cursor using live Apaleo reservation and folio data.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Apaleo MCP to Cursor
Create your Vinkius account to connect Apaleo to Cursor and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Build booking engines with real-time inventory
The `check_availability` tool pulls live room counts directly into your Cursor editor using this MCP server. When writing custom booking logic, your agent calls this tool to inject actual room counts instead of static mock arrays. Your agent combines this with `list_room_types` to map specific room codes to your frontend React components. You get functional UI code that aligns perfectly with your Apaleo property setup on the first run.
Write automated guest billing scripts
The `list_folios` tool retrieves open guest balances directly inside your coding workspace. Your agent calls this endpoint to inspect the JSON structure of actual guest accounts while you write billing scripts. To complete the accounting pipeline, your agent invokes `list_invoices` to write test assertions against real Apaleo invoice schemas. Cursor generates accurate integration code without you needing to run manual API client requests.
Generate reservation managers inside Cursor
The `list_reservations` tool feeds live booking records directly into Cursor's Agent mode. Your agent reads actual check-in data to write and debug custom reservation webhooks. If you need to test single-record views, the agent calls `get_reservation` to pull a real customer payload. This Cursor MCP Server lets you build front-desk extensions using real production shapes.
