## Description

Running a portfolio of rentals means juggling multiple platforms: direct website bookings, Airbnb, VRBO, and more. Lodgify connects your entire operation to any MCP-compatible client so you don't have to jump between dashboards just to check a price or block off a date.

Your AI agent reads all the data—from amenities and house rules for specific listings to guest details and payment status on current reservations. Need to know if a property is free next week? You can ask, and it checks day-by-day calendars against minimum stay requirements. Want an instant quote for a potential booking? It handles seasonal pricing adjustments and discounts automatically.

This MCP gives you total control over your inventory. If you're using Vinkius to manage dozens of specialized connectors, Lodgify ensures all your revenue streams—your bookings, rates, and channel sync status—are visible and actionable through simple conversation.

Block the calendar for the Beach Condo from October 10 to October 15 for maintenance.

I have successfully blocked the calendar for the Beach Condo property from October 10 to October 15. The 'maintenance' block will prevent any new bookings across your direct site and connected channels.

In the last 30 days, your website received 1,200 views resulting in 48 quotes and 15 confirmed bookings. This represents a 1.25% visitor-to-booking conversion rate, slightly up from last month.

## Capabilities

### View property details
List and retrieve comprehensive information about every rental unit in your portfolio.

### Check current bookings
Review all confirmed reservations, accessing guest names and payment status for any booking period.

### Verify availability
Check a property's day-by-day calendar against minimum stay rules to confirm if it’s free.

### Calculate dynamic rates
Get accurate pricing by factoring in seasonal adjustments, discounts, and required length of stay changes.

### Generate instant quotes
Provide a precise total cost estimate for any specified dates and number of guests.

### Monitor channel connections
See the sync status across all connected platforms, like Airbnb or VRBO.

## Use Cases

### Handling an instant pricing inquiry
A prospective client asks, 'What's the cost for six people next month?' Your agent runs the get_quote tool and returns the full price breakdown immediately, letting you close the sale without opening a spreadsheet.

### Checking inventory before posting
Before marketing a listing, an owner asks if it's free from December 1st to January 5th. The agent uses get_availability and confirms the dates are open, preventing overbooking errors.

### Investigating a booking discrepancy
A guest calls about an old reservation. You use list_bookings and then get_booking to pull up the exact payment status and original details instantly for verification.

### Onboarding new listings
You need to add a brand new unit. The agent uses list_properties first, then gets_property to pull all required data points—photos, rules, amenities—to get it live on the site.

## Benefits

- Stop manually checking rates. Use the get_rates tool to automatically factor in seasonal pricing and discounts when calculating a total cost.
- Confirm availability instantly. The get_availability tool verifies if a property is free day-by-day, respecting minimum stay requirements before you promise anything.
- Keep your marketing accurate. Instead of guessing prices, use the get_quote tool to generate an exact, reliable total for any potential reservation.
- Streamline operations. Use list_channels to quickly verify if all connected booking platforms are syncing correctly after a major rate change or outage.
- Deep dive into listings. You can get property details and list properties to pull specific amenities or house rules when talking to a guest directly.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get real-time operational insights without opening the lodging management dashboard.

1. You tell your AI client what you need to know—for example, 'How much is the lake house for 4 people in December?'
2. The MCP processes that request, calling tools like getting property details and calculating rates to pull live data from Lodgify.
3. Your agent returns a clean answer, showing pricing, availability status, and total costs right inside your chat interface.
