Available tools 5

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

capabilities

get_capabilities

What Stay Cost Brain covers: the researched places, how the tax figures are sourced and dated, what it does not do (no room prices, no booking), and the sister services.

hotels

hotels_link

A link to live hotel and rental prices for a place or any town and the given dates and guests (Stay22, showing Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Vrbo and others). The person sees prices and books there; this tool returns no prices and books nothing. Stay Cost Brain may earn a commission on bookings.

place

place_rules

Every tourist-tax rule for one researched place: each tax with its authority, legal basis, rates by type of stay, season and area, night caps, exemptions, how it is paid, valid dates and status (verified, inferred, announced), with source links and dates.

places

list_places

Every place with a researched tourist-tax table: name, country, today's headline rate, the date it was checked, the next re-check date, the towns that set their own tax, and the page with every rate and source.

tourist

tourist_tax

The tourist tax for one stay, worked out night by night: each tax that applies (regional and city parts separately), the amount or the range when the star rating or type of stay is not given, how many nights are charged, how it is paid, announced changes in force on those nights, and the official source and date for each. Accepts a researched place or any town; towns outside the researched places return researched=false. Percentage taxes need room_price_total. Residents', medical and other special exemptions are listed in `rules`, not applied.

Stay Cost Brain — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Stay Cost Brain do?

It exposes 5 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_capabilities, hotels_link, list_places, place_rules, tourist_tax. 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 Stay Cost Brain 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 196 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

How do I connect Stay Cost Brain?

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 Stay Cost Brain need an API key?

No. Stay Cost Brain completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 5 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Stay Cost Brain?

It answers our handshake in 196 ms on average, which is faster than 72% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.

Is Stay Cost Brain open source?

The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence and 0 stars on GitHub. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at staycostbrain.com, which runs on its operator's own terms.
