Perplexity

Pipe HQBeds data directly to your CLI tools

Claude Code lets you query your property data using `list_reservations` and pipe the output to grep, jq, or local text files. Run a command to list all bookings and filter the JSON right in your shell. You can quickly check individual booking details using `get_reservation` or fetch guest profiles with `get_guest`. It is a fast, keyboard-only way to audit your hostel data without opening a browser.

Script automated availability checks in Claude Code

Build automated cron jobs that monitor your property by running `check_hqbeds_status` via Claude Code. The CLI uses this MCP Server to ensure your booking engine is online and responding. You can automate daily checks by running `list_availability` to find open beds. If occupancy drops below a certain threshold, you can have the CLI trigger alerts or log the data for your team.

Rapid reservation management from the terminal

Create and verify bookings without leaving your SSH session by running `create_reservation` directly in Claude Code. This lets you register walk-ins or update stays with simple terminal prompts. After creating a booking, verify the room assignment with `get_room` and pull the account metrics using `get_account`. It keeps your workflow entirely terminal-based, fast, and lightweight.
