Available tools 20

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

smoobu

smoobu_check_availability

Check which properties can be booked for an arrival/departure pair and get the total price for each; unavailable ones come back with the reason (minimum stay, too many guests, arrival day, lead time...). Read-only, books nothing. Smoobu: POST /booking/checkApartmentAvailability.

smoobu_create_reservation

Create a reservation (or a blocked period) on a property. Smoobu treats it like a booking from a channel and SYNCS the blocked dates to every connected channel (Airbnb, Booking.com, ...). Fails if the dates overlap an existing booking. This server offers no cancel — cancel it in Smoobu if needed. Which guest fields are mandatory depends on your booking-tool 'Form Content' settings. Smoobu: POST /api/reservations.

smoobu_get_apartment

Fetch one property's details: location, time zone, rooms and beds, max occupancy, amenities, currency, min/max nightly price and type. Smoobu: GET /api/apartments/{apartmentId}.

smoobu_get_guest

Fetch one guest by id (the guestId on a reservation) with contact details, notes and every booking they have made. Smoobu: GET /api/guests/{guestId}.

smoobu_get_rates

Get the nightly price, minimum length of stay and availability (0 = not available) for each date in a range, for one or more properties. Smoobu: GET /api/rates.

smoobu_get_reservation

Fetch one reservation by id: guest, dates, check-in/out times, channel and its reference id, price, prepayment and deposit status, and the guest-app URL. Smoobu: GET /api/reservations/{reservationId}.

smoobu_get_reservation_placeholders

Get every placeholder value Smoobu would substitute into a message for this reservation: guest name, dates and times, nights, price and balance, online check-in link, guest-app link, door PIN codes and more. Useful for drafting a guest message. Smoobu: GET /api/reservations/{reservationId}/placeholders.

smoobu_get_user

Fetch the Smoobu user these credentials belong to (id, name, email). A cheap way to confirm the setup works; the id is the customerId used by availability checks. Smoobu: GET /api/me.

smoobu_list_addons

List the bookable add-ons (towels, breakfast, late check-out...) with amount, tax, calculation type (0 per booking, 1 per person, 2 per night, 3 per person and night) and the properties they apply to; optionally for one property. Smoobu: GET /api/addons[/{apartmentId}].

smoobu_list_apartments

List every property (Smoobu calls them apartments) in the account, with id and name. Start here to get apartment ids. Smoobu: GET /api/apartments.

smoobu_list_custom_placeholders

List the account's custom message placeholders (key, default value, and whether they are global, per booking or per property). Smoobu: GET /api/custom-placeholders.

smoobu_list_guests

List guests from the Smoobu CRM with their emails, phone numbers, address, notes and bookings; optionally search. Smoobu: GET /api/guests.

smoobu_list_message_threads

List the unified guest inbox: one thread per booking with guest name, property and the latest message, plus the unread count. Smoobu: GET /api/threads.

smoobu_list_price_elements

List the financial breakdown of one reservation: base price, cleaning fee, add-ons, long-stay discounts and coupons, with amounts, tax and currency. Smoobu: GET /api/reservations/{reservationId}/price-elements.

smoobu_list_reservation_messages

Get the full conversation for one reservation, paginated. Each message has a subject, plain-text and HTML body, and type (1 = inbox / from guest, 2 = outbox / sent). Smoobu: GET /api/reservations/{reservationId}/messages.

smoobu_list_reservations

List reservations across all channels (Airbnb, Booking.com, direct, ...), paginated, with guest, dates, channel, price and payment status. Filter by stay range, arrival, departure, creation or modification date, and property. Smoobu: GET /api/reservations.

smoobu_send_message_to_guest

Send a message to the guest of a reservation through Smoobu (it goes out on the booking's channel, e.g. the Airbnb or Booking.com inbox, or email). Delivered IMMEDIATELY and cannot be unsent — confirm the text with the user first. Smoobu: POST /api/reservations/{reservationId}/messages/send-message-to-guest.

smoobu_send_message_to_host

Post a message on a reservation's thread addressed to the Smoobu user (the host). With internal=true it is an internal note hidden from the guest — handy for logging. Cannot be unsent. Smoobu: POST /api/reservations/{reservationId}/messages/send-message-to-host.

smoobu_set_rates

Set the nightly price and/or minimum length of stay for dates on one or more properties. Smoobu PUSHES these to every channel with price sync enabled, so this changes live prices guests see. Reversible by setting the old values again — read them first with smoobu_get_rates. Each operation needs daily_price, min_length_of_stay, or both (a minimum stay alone needs an existing price). Smoobu: POST /api/rates.

smoobu_update_reservation

Update an existing reservation's times, guest contact, notes, guest counts, language, or price / prepayment / deposit amounts and paid status. Only the fields you pass are sent. Dates and property cannot be changed here. Smoobu: PUT /api/reservations/{reservationId}.
