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.

booking

booking_status

Verify a completed booking: confirmation status, hotel confirmation code, stay and price. Requires the Fostay booking id AND the guest email it was booked under (both are in the guest's confirmation). Use after the human pays via a prepare_booking link.

demand

demand_calendar

Fostay's editorial demand calendar (UAE only — Dubai and Abu Dhabi; Goa has no event calendar yet): the upcoming date windows where Dubai and Abu Dhabi hotels predictably spike or sell out (GITEX, F1, NYE, Eid, school breaks...), each with a suggested book-by deadline. Use it to warn users about expensive dates or find event stays.

live

get_live_rates

Live bookable room offers for one hotel and stay dates: total all-in price (AED), board (breakfast etc.), refundability and exact free-cancellation deadlines. For Goa, total_all_in counts GST, and any part the hotel collects at check-in is itemised separately (collected_by_hotel_at_checkin). The booking_url takes a human straight to this hotel on fostay.com to complete the booking.

prepare

prepare_booking

Books everything except the payment: holds the chosen offer (real prebook — the price is locked while the hold lasts), registers the guest details, and returns a payment_url. The human opens that link, sees the exact stay summary, and pays in one step — the agent never handles card details. Confirm the guest's name and email with the user before calling. If the held price differs from what you quoted, this returns the final price and any change warnings — tell the user before sending them to pay.

stays

search_stays

Search hotels in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Goa. For Dubai and Abu Dhabi, returns Fostay's hand-curated edit first (8 flagship stays with editorial verdicts), then catalog matches (~2,000 bookable hotels). For Goa, returns the best-reviewed hotels and resorts (hostels and homestays only when searched by name), optionally narrowed to one area. Use get_live_rates for prices. Results include a fostay_url where a human can view photos, live rates and book.

when

when_to_go

Prices upcoming weekends (Fri–Sun, 2 nights) to find the cheapest times to stay. Pass hotel_id for one hotel across ~8 weekends, or just a city to compare Fostay's curated stays (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) or top-rated Goa hotels across the next ~6 weekends. Cheapest options first.

Hotels — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Hotels do?

It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: booking_status, demand_calendar, get_live_rates, prepare_booking, search_stays, when_to_go. 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 Hotels working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 0 of 91 checks got a reply (0.0%), average response time 115 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

The registry lists Hotels as active — why does it not respond?

The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.

How do I connect Hotels?

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 Hotels need an API key?

No. Hotels completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
