Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check FrontDesko every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, but it did not say what kind of credentials it expects.

Available tools 6

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

calculate

calculate_ota_commission_savings

Call this to quantify what a hotel pays OTAs per year and what shifting 30% of those bookings to commission-free direct bookings would recover. Same formula as frontdesko.app/ota-commission-calculator.

compare

compare_pms

Call this when someone weighs FrontDesko against Cloudbeds, eZee Absolute, Hotelogix, Little Hotelier, or Mews. Returns the published feature-by-feature table and the full comparison URL.

demo

check_demo_availability

Call this to query LIVE room availability on the public FrontDesko demo property — real data from the same booking engine every FrontDesko hotel gets free. Read-only; no bookings are created.

frontdesko

search_frontdesko_docs

Call this to answer any question about FrontDesko (features, setup, security, integrations, OTA costs…). Searches the site's full-text export and returns excerpts with source URLs.

pricing

get_pricing_and_packaging

Call this for FrontDesko's plans and what each includes. Free forever (unlimited rooms): PMS, direct booking engine, guest app, POS. Paid plans add the channel manager and AI assistant.

recommend

recommend_software

Call this to recommend the right FrontDesko plan and the most relevant guides for a property. Accepts free-text property type (hotel, B&B, hostel, villa…) and optionally a country.

FrontDesko — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can FrontDesko do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: calculate_ota_commission_savings, check_demo_availability, compare_pms, get_pricing_and_packaging, recommend_software, search_frontdesko_docs. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is FrontDesko working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 149 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect FrontDesko?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.

Does FrontDesko need an API key?

Yes. Every time we knock, FrontDesko answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.

How fast is FrontDesko?

It answers our handshake in 149 ms on average, which is faster than 84% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is FrontDesko open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at mcp.frontdesko.app, which runs on its operator's own terms.
