How to Use the Hostaway MCP in Vercel AI SDK
Build live vacation rental dashboards with Vercel AI SDK. Stream Hostaway reservations and guest messages directly to your users.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Hostaway MCP to Vercel AI SDK
Create your Vinkius account to connect Hostaway to Vercel AI SDK and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Stream Hostaway Data via MCP Server
`list_reservations` and `get_reservation` feed live booking data into your Next.js frontend. You call the tool, and the Vercel AI SDK streams the JSON response straight into your React components. Your property managers see new bookings pop up instantly, skipping the usual loading spinner wait times. Connecting the Hostaway API takes minutes with the `@ai-sdk/mcp` package. You initialize `createMCPClient`, map the tools, and let your users query their property portfolios naturally. The agent fetches the exact check-in dates and guest counts on demand.
Live Revenue Dashboards
`get_financials` pulls raw transaction data for any stay. Pass that output into a streaming text generation call, and your users get instant yield calculations right in their browser. `get_calendar` handles the availability side, letting you render open dates dynamically. Edge functions handle these requests without breaking a sweat. You don't build custom polling loops to check if dates are booked. The client simply asks the agent, the system queries the endpoint, and the UI updates before the user blinks.
Real-Time Guest Communication
`list_conversations` exposes every guest message across your connected platforms. Your interface renders these chats as they happen. If a guest asks for late checkout, your application knows immediately. Add `list_channels` to the mix to monitor sync status across booking sites. When a connection drops, your UI flags it. You build the frontend, and the protocol handles the data fetching.
