Hotels MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows LLMs to search for hotels and destinations using the Booking.com API.

Features

• Search for destinations by name
• Get hotel listings for specific destinations with dates
• Rich hotel information including:
  • Room details and types
  • Pricing and discounts
  • Ratings and reviews
  • Photos
  • Check-in/check-out times

API Integration

This MCP server uses the Booking.com API via RapidAPI. You'll need:

1. A RapidAPI account
2. Subscribe to the Booking.com API
3. Get your API key

The current implementation uses two endpoints:

• /api/v1/hotels/searchDestination: Search for destinations
• /api/v1/hotels/searchHotels: Get hotels for a destination

Setup and Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11+
• MCP SDK (pip install mcp)
• httpx (pip install httpx)
• python-dotenv (pip install python-dotenv)

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/username/hotels_mcp_server.git
   cd hotels_mcp_server
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Configure your RapidAPI credentials:

   • Copy .env.example to .env

Running the Server

Run the server with:

python main.py

The server uses stdio transport by default for compatibility with MCP clients like Cursor.

Using with MCP Clients
