Perplexity

CLI-Based Search via Expedia Vrbo MCP Server

`search_rentals` lets you query vacation homes directly from your command line without opening a heavy browser. You pipe your destination to `search_rental_regions` to resolve the ID, and Claude Code outputs a clean JSON list of available properties. This terminal-first approach lets you filter listings using standard Unix tools like jq. Extracting nightly rates, check-in rules, and availability windows takes seconds without clicking through endless web pages.

Script Calendar and Policy Audits

`get_rental_calendar` enables headless monitoring of property availability directly from your shell. You can set up a cron job with Claude Code to poll specific dates and alert you when a blocked-out weekend opens up. Before committing, the CLI agent runs `check_rental_policies` to dump the house rules to stdout. This ensures you spot strict cancellation terms or hidden fees before initiating a booking sequence.

Execute Reservations via CLI

This MCP Server allows you to execute vacation rental bookings using plain-text commands. You pass the property ID, guest details, and payment info, and Claude Code handles the transaction securely. For managing active trips, `get_itinerary` retrieves your booking status instantly. If you need to drop a reservation, `cancel_itinerary` executes the cancellation and outputs the confirmation code straight to your terminal.
