How to Use the Hostaway MCP in Mastra AI

Q: How do I configure Hostaway with Mastra AI?

Initialize new MCPClient() with your server URL and call mcpClient.listTools(). Spread those tools directly into your Mastra agent configuration.

Q: Can Mastra AI handle Hostaway rate limits automatically?

The framework includes built-in exponential backoff. If getlisting hits a limit, the system waits and retries without custom code.

Q: How do I require human approval for Hostaway financials in Mastra AI?

Set requireToolApproval: true on the getfinancials tool. Execution pauses until an administrator approves the action.

Q: Is guest payment data secure when using this MCP Server?

getfinancials pulls transaction amounts and payout statuses. We route this data through a zero-trust architecture, meaning no request payloads are logged or stored on disk at any point.

Automate property management workflows with Mastra AI. Handle Hostaway channel drops and guest replies with built-in retry logic.

Hostaway Workflows via MCP Server

`list_channels` and `list_listings` serve as the foundation for automated property audits. Mastra AI takes these tools and builds conditional branches around them. If a channel sync fails, the workflow catches it, waits, and tries again using exponential backoff. You configure the agent with `new MCPClient()` and spread the tools into your Mastra setup. Property managers don't wake up to broken calendar syncs anymore. The system detects the failure, executes the retry, and alerts the team only if the issue persists.

Resilient Booking Operations

`get_reservation` fetches the core booking details required for guest check-ins. When the API rate limits your request, the MCP integration pauses and retries automatically. Your cleaning crews still get their schedules. Combining `get_calendar` with custom logic prevents double bookings. The framework checks availability before confirming external actions. You deploy this logic to any cloud provider with a single command.

Protected Financial Queries

`get_financials` returns sensitive revenue numbers for your rentals. You wrap this tool in Mastra's `requireToolApproval` feature. The agent preps the financial report, but a human clicks accept before it goes to the owner. `list_conversations` works the same way for high-stakes guest complaints. The system drafts a response based on the chat history. A property manager reviews the draft, approves the execution, and the workflow continues.

Setup guide

Set up Hostaway MCP in Mastra AI

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ and a TypeScript project
@mastra/mcp + @mastra/core packages
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Install dependencies
Run npm install @mastra/mcp @mastra/core plus your preferred model provider (e.g. @ai-sdk/openai).
2

Configure the MCPClient
Create an MCPClient with your Vinkius endpoint as a URL object. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Discover and inject tools
Call mcpClient.listTools() and spread the result into your agent's tools object. All Hostaway tools become native Mastra tools.
4

Run with any model
Swap openai("gpt-4o") for any AI SDK-compatible provider. Call agent.generate() and the agent routes tool calls through MCP automatically.

agent.ts

import { MCPClient } from "@mastra/mcp";
import { Agent } from "@mastra/core/agent";
import { openai } from "@ai-sdk/openai";

const mcpClient = new MCPClient({
  id: "hostaway-mcp-client",
  servers: {
    "hostaway-mcp": {
      url: new URL(
        "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
      ),
    },
  },
});

const agent = new Agent({
  name: "Hostaway Agent",
  model: openai("gpt-4o"),
  instructions: "You have access to Hostaway tools.",
  tools: {
    ...(await mcpClient.listTools()),
  },
});

const result = await agent.generate(
  "List recent Hostaway transactions"
);
console.log(result.text);
