Connect Hostaway MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Hostaway to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Windsurf executes multi-step Hostaway logic
Cascade doesn't just read data. It chains `get_calendar` and `get_reservation` to spot gaps in your booking schedule before they become problems. You set the goal, and it handles the sequence. It handles the heavy lifting by pulling `list_listings` to compare occupancy rates against your current `get_financials`. You get the full picture without writing a single line of boilerplate code.
Real-time communication with Windsurf
Stop digging through your inbox for guest details. Your agent uses `list_conversations` to surface priority messages so you can draft replies directly in the editor. It cross-references specific guest needs with `get_reservation` data to ensure your responses are accurate. You maintain the human touch while the machine does the data sorting.
Manage channels from the Windsurf editor
Keep your distribution in check by calling `list_channels` to verify sync status across every booking platform. If a property isn't live, you'll know exactly why. It monitors the connection health so you don't have to monitor the dashboard manually. When you see a sync error, you can jump straight into the fix.
