# Airbnb MCP for AI Agents MCP > Airbnb MCP connects your AI agent to millions of global listings, allowing you to plan entire trips and manage bookings through natural conversation. Find properties by coordinates, compare pricing breakdowns including all fees, check real-time availability calendars, and discover local activities like food tours or historical experiences. ## Overview - **Category:** industry-titans - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** lodging, reservations, travel-planning, property-search, booking-management, hospitality ## Description You can give your AI client full control over the travel planning process. Instead of opening multiple tabs to search for accommodations, you simply ask your agent for what you need—a place in Paris near a specific landmark, or an event in Tokyo next month. Your AI acts like a dedicated, knowledgeable travel concierge. It checks property details, reviews guest feedback on specific listings, and verifies if dates are actually available before you commit to anything. You can also cross-reference lodging with local activities; your agent finds everything from deep-dive cooking classes to guided historical tours in one workflow. Because this MCP is hosted on Vinkius, you get access to the full catalog of specialized services, meaning your AI doesn't just book rooms—it builds entire itineraries. ## Tools ### get_calendar Checks a listing's availability calendar, showing which dates are open or booked and providing minimum stay requirements. ### get_experience Provides full details about a specific local activity or tour, helping you understand the time commitment and what to expect. ### get_host Retrieves credentials for a listing host, letting you evaluate their reliability and response rate before booking. ### get_listing Pulls full property details, including amenities, house rules, capacity, and a summary of guest reviews for any specific listing. ### get_pricing Calculates the total cost for an Airbnb stay based on specified check-in and check-out dates, detailing all fees and taxes. ### get_reservation Shows specific booking details using a reservation ID, useful for checking status or preparing for arrival. ### get_reservations Lists all current and past trips associated with the account, allowing you to review travel history at a glance. ### get_reviews Retrieves guest feedback for a specific property, helping you assess overall quality and host responsiveness. ### get_user_profile Verifies your account access by retrieving basic user profile details. ### search_by_coordinates Finds accommodations near a precise point on a map, sorting results based on proximity to that location. ### search_experiences Searches for local activities and tours in an area, including details like duration, price, and rating. ### search_listings Finds available properties by typing in a city name, neighborhood, or address with filters for dates and guest numbers. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Find me three good places in Barcelona next month for two people. ``` **Response:** ``` Here are some options near the Gothic Quarter: 1. **Gothic Flat**: €140/night, ⭐4.7 (89 reviews), Sleeps 2.

You ask your agent to find lodging within a 1km radius of the conference coordinates. It uses `search_by_coordinates` and filters results by dates, presenting only suitable, available options. ### My friend needs ideas for a weekend getaway in Rome. You ask your agent to find local activities around specific landmarks. It runs `search_experiences`, compiling a list of highly-rated food tours and historical walks so you can pick an activity. ### I'm comparing two apartments for my move. You ask the agent to compare two listings, triggering both `get_listing` and `get_pricing`. The agent returns side-by-side comparisons of amenities, capacity, and total cost including all fees. ## Benefits - Compare full pricing breakdowns instantly. The tool's `get_pricing` function shows the total cost, including every fee and tax, so you never get hit with surprise charges. - Improve booking confidence using `get_reviews`. You can read summaries of guest feedback for a specific listing to assess quality before committing. - Plan multi-part trips efficiently. By combining `search_listings` (for rooms) and `search_experiences` (for tours), your agent builds complete itineraries in one go. - Gain location flexibility with `search_by_coordinates`. Instead of searching by neighborhood name, you can point to a landmark and find the nearest available lodging. - Manage all travel logistics from one source. Use `get_reservations` to view past trips and check upcoming details without logging into separate accounts. ## How It Works The bottom line is, your AI client becomes a specialized travel planning assistant, handling complex multi-step searches and data aggregation automatically. 1.
