Perplexity

Find properties without leaving the editor

Running `search_rentals` lets your team query active vacation rentals directly inside the editor. By configuring the Expedia Vrbo MCP server inside your `.vscode/mcp.json` file, every developer on the project gets instant access to live inventory. To find precise region IDs, your agent resolves destination names using `search_rental_regions`. This setup guarantees that your team searches valid locations without leaving the code workspace.

Inspect rental amenities and guest reviews

Calling `get_unit_amenities` pulls raw amenity lists directly into your editor sidebar. VS Code Copilot processes this structured data to verify crucial requirements like high-speed wifi, parking spaces, or dedicated workspaces. Retrieving guest ratings via `get_rental_reviews` lets you check category scores for cleanliness and communication. You can also run `get_rental_images` to view property photos right next to your active files.

Validate policies and book via VS Code Copilot

Using `check_rental_policies` lets your team check cancellation rules before committing any financial resources. This check ensures you never get locked into non-refundable reservations by accident. When you find the right property, executing `book_rental` registers the reservation using your guest details and payment info. This Expedia Vrbo MCP server handles the transaction and returns a confirmed booking code immediately.
