Expedia Hotels MCP. Automate global hotel research and booking flows.

Expedia Hotels connects your AI agent directly to one of the biggest hotel inventory networks out there. You're not just doing Google searches here; you’ve got programmatic control over global lodging data, letting your agent research properties and book stays from any client.

Finding where to go is the first step. Your agent starts by querying city names or major areas using search_regions to grab the correct destination ID needed for all subsequent hotel searches. With that ID in hand, it runs search_hotels, which finds a list of potential properties across the area based on your specified dates, guest count, and filters like star rating or amenities.

Once you've got a candidate list, you can drill down deep into any specific property using get_hotel_details. This pulls all the rich data—the full street address, policies, amenity lists, star ratings, and even nearby attractions. You won't get just facts; you'll get context. Need to see what it looks like? Call get_hotel_images for URLs covering the lobby, room, and pool, along with descriptions and sizes for display purposes.

To nail down the price, your agent checks availability using check_availability, which confirms exactly what room types are open for those dates, including occupancy limits and immediate pricing. You can then use get_rate_plans to pull every single available pricing option—think standard rates, member deals, non-refundable packages—so you get a side-by-side comparison of total costs and policies.

For extra validation before committing, the agent runs price_check to confirm that the current room rate hasn't changed since you first viewed it.

You can compare prices against competitors using check_price_match. Just toss in a competitor’s URL, and the tool tells you if the match is approved or what the adjusted rate needs to be. To help ground your decision, your agent gathers real feedback via get_guest_reviews, extracting individual guest reviews with specific ratings for cleanliness, staff performance, and overall comfort.

To manage the stay itself, everything flows into booking and cancellation. You can save a reservation using book_hotel by feeding it all the necessary details—the property ID, dates, and names—to create an actual hotel itinerary. If plans change, you use get_itinerary to pull up the current status of any existing booking, including total price paid and cancellation rules.

You can then modify that record or cancel it outright with cancel_itinerary, which returns the updated record plus any refund info.

It's simple: your agent finds the region; it lists candidates; you check availability and compare every rate plan available before booking, knowing exactly what you're getting.
