How to Use the Hostaway MCP in LlamaIndex

Q: How do I index Hostaway data within LlamaIndex?

You use the McpToolSpec to fetch tools and convert them into a format LlamaIndex can ingest. The agent then populates your vector store with live data.

Q: Can I filter Hostaway resources in LlamaIndex?

Yes, you can use the allowedtools filter to limit which parts of your Hostaway account the agent can access. This gives you full control over the data scope.

Perplexity

Semantic search for Hostaway in LlamaIndex

Use `list_listings` to pull your property details into a vector store. This lets you query your own inventory using natural language to find specific unit features or availability. Instead of digging through admin panels, you just ask your agent. It searches the indexed data and gives you the answer based on the most current records.

Ground your agent in live rental data

Index the results from `get_calendar` and `get_reservation` to ground your agent's knowledge. This prevents hallucinations by forcing the model to reference your actual booking state. Your RAG applications become significantly more reliable. Every answer about availability or guest status is backed by the data retrieved from your Hostaway account.

Unified knowledge across channels

Aggregate data from `list_channels` to understand where your bookings originate. LlamaIndex keeps this information indexed and ready for complex analysis. You gain a bird's-eye view of your distribution strategy. By querying the index, you quickly identify which channels perform best for your specific listings.

Prerequisites

Python 3.10+ installed
llama-index-tools-mcp package
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run pip install llama-index-tools-mcp llama-index-llms-openai. The MCP tools package provides BasicMCPClient and McpToolSpec.

Connect with BasicMCPClient
Point BasicMCPClient to your Vinkius endpoint URL. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com. Supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports.
3

Convert to LlamaIndex tools
Call mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async() to convert all Hostaway MCP tools into native FunctionTool objects that any LlamaIndex agent can use.
4

Run with any LLM
Create a FunctionAgent with the tools and your preferred LLM. Swap OpenAI for Anthropic, Gemini, or any LlamaIndex-supported provider.

agent.py

from llama_index.tools.mcp import BasicMCPClient, McpToolSpec
from llama_index.core.agent.workflow import FunctionAgent
from llama_index.llms.openai import OpenAI

# Connect to the MCP
mcp_client = BasicMCPClient(
    "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
)
mcp_tool_spec = McpToolSpec(client=mcp_client)

# Convert MCP tools to LlamaIndex tools
tools = await mcp_tool_spec.to_tool_list_async()

# Create and run the agent
agent = FunctionAgent(
    tools=tools,
    llm=OpenAI(model="gpt-4o"),
    system_prompt="You have access to Hostaway tools.",
)
response = await agent.run("List recent Hostaway data")
