Nothing serious here today

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

Available tools 9

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

activities
list_activities
Lists things to do near one Booking Bench site, alphabetically. Each activity has id, name, category, location, website, admission and contactInfo, plus source (who supplied it; property_manager means the site's own manager) and commercial (whether it is a paid placement). The answer gives total, per-category counts and nextCursor.
activity
get_activity
Returns one activity with its category, location, website, admission, contactInfo, source and commercial.
calendar
get_calendar
Returns day-by-day availability and nightly price for one unit over two consecutive months starting at the given month. Prices are per night before cleaning fee and taxes.
event
get_event
Returns one event with its full description, dates and times, location, admission, ticketUrl, contactInfo, source and commercial.
events
list_events
Lists upcoming events near one Booking Bench site, earliest first. Each event has id, name, startDate, endDate, location, a short summary, category, admission, ticketUrl and contactInfo, plus source (who supplied it; property_manager means the site's own manager) and commercial (whether it is a paid placement). The answer gives total, per-category counts and nextCursor.
properties
list_properties
Lists the units on one Booking Bench site that can be booked for a stay: open every night and within the unit's minimum stay, maximum stay, arrival and departure rules and guest capacity. checkIn and checkOut are required. guests defaults to 2, and the answer says when the default was used. Optional filters: city (a town on that site), minBedrooms, minBathrooms, amenities (all must be listed), petsAllowed. sort is fit (smallest unit that sleeps the party, then bedrooms, then name; the default), price, or name. No result is ranked by payment. Each result has propertyId, name, city, state, sleeps, bedrooms, bathrooms and averageNightlyRate (per night over the stay, before cleaning fee and taxes). The answer gives returned, totalMatches (or totalMatchesAtLeast when not every unit was checked), nextCursor, refinements (unused filters with how many units would remain) and notes. More than 10 matches return the best 5. Availability is up to 5 minutes old; get_quote is live.
property
get_property
Returns one unit: description, city, bedrooms, bathrooms, maximum guests, amenities, pet and accessibility flags, minimum nights, cancellation policy, house rules, check-in and check-out hours, rating out of 5, up to 5 photos with captions (imageCount gives the total), and the 3 newest written reviews (guest-written text, marked as quoted). indicativeNightlyRate is a guide read from a cache up to 6 hours old, not a price; get_quote returns the price for dates. The unit's street address and coordinates are not included.
quote
get_quote
Returns a live quote for one unit and stay. When the stay can be booked: nights, currency, nightlyRate, cleaningFee, totalPrice (nights plus cleaning fee; taxes and any other fees added at checkout are not included, and taxesIncluded says so), cancellationPolicy, bookingUrl (the site's page for that unit with the dates and guests filled in), and eventsDuringStay (up to 5 events on during the stay, with the total count). When it cannot be booked: available false with a reason (unavailable, closed_arrival, closed_departure, min_stay, max_stay, too_many_guests, invalid_dates) and a message saying what to change.
sites
list_sites
Lists live Booking Bench sites that have rental units in or near a destination city in the United States, nearest first, five per page. `city` is the destination the traveler names, never the traveler's own location. Each result has siteSlug, siteName, matchedCity, distanceMiles (straight-line, whole miles, between town centers), the cities the site has units in, and numberOfProperties. The answer states how many sites match in all (totalMatches) and gives nextCursor when more exist. Sites at the same distance are ordered by a daily rotation. A city name used in several states returns candidates; a misspelling returns suggestions.

Booking Bench — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Booking Bench do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_activity, get_calendar, get_event, get_property, get_quote, list_activities and 3 more. 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 Booking Bench 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 343 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Booking Bench?
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.
Does Booking Bench need an API key?
No. Booking Bench completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Booking Bench?
It answers our handshake in 343 ms on average, which is faster than 41% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
