How to Use the Hostfully MCP in Claude Code

Q: How do I add the Hostfully MCP server to Claude Code?

Q: How does the Hostfully MCP Server protect our booking data?

Operations running through listleads expose raw booking inquiries and financial totals. Vinkius secures this pipeline by routing all requests through an ephemeral, zero-trust sandbox that drops all state the millisecond the headless command completes.

Manage Hostfully API operations from your terminal. Claude Code executes property and lead queries headless.

Perplexity

Headless Property Management

The `list_properties` tool outputs raw vacation rental data straight to your standard output. You pipe this data into jq, write it to a log file, or feed it into a nightly cron job. The terminal is your entire interface. When a deployment script needs to verify property status, your agent calls `get_property`. It checks the exact configuration and validates it against your infrastructure state. You run one command and the agent handles the validation logic.

Hostfully MCP Server for Automation

Calling `list_webhooks` allows your CI/CD pipeline to audit active event triggers across your agency. Claude Code runs this check headless during your deployment phase to ensure you haven't dropped any webhooks. If a webhook is missing, the agent flags the discrepancy in your build logs. It queries `get_agency` to confirm the environment details before failing the pipeline. You catch configuration drift before it hits production.

Terminal-Based Lead Auditing

The `list_leads` tool pulls booking inquiry data without ever opening a browser. DevOps engineers use this to script automated data reconciliation between the property management system and internal databases. Digging into a specific failure? The agent executes `get_lead` to grab the exact payload that caused the issue. It pipes the JSON into your logging stack for immediate analysis. No GUI required.
