Hospitable MCP Server - Breezy Beach Stays

MCP server connecting Claude to the Hospitable API v2. Supports dual transport:

• STDIO for Claude Desktop (local)

• Streamable HTTP for claude.ai custom connector (remote)

Available Tools

Quick Setup

1. Get Your Hospitable PAT

1. Log in to my.hospitable.com

2. Go to Apps > API access > Access tokens

3. Click + Add new, select Read and Write permissions

4. Copy the token

2. Install

cd hospitable-mcp
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate   # Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

3a. Claude Desktop (STDIO)

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hospitable": {
      "command": "/path/to/hospitable-mcp/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/path/to/hospitable-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": {
        "HOSPITABLE_PAT": "your-token-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop. You should see "Hospitable" in the MCP tools list.

3b. Claude.ai Custom Connector (Streamable HTTP)

Start the server in HTTP mode:

export HOSPITABLE_PAT="your-token-here"
python server.py --http --port 8000

Then in claude.ai:

1. Go to Settings > Integrations (or the connectors menu)

2. Add custom connector

3. Enter your server URL: http://your-server-ip:8000/mcp

For production, run behind a reverse proxy (nginx/caddy) with HTTPS.

3c. Run as a Background Service (macOS)

Create ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.breezy.hospitable-mcp.plist:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>com.breezy.hospitable-mcp</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/path/to/hospitable-mcp/venv/bin/python</string>
        <string>/path/to/hospitable-mcp/server.py</string>
        <string>--http</string>
        <string>--port</string>
        <string>8000</string>
    </array>
    <key>EnvironmentVariables</key>
    <dict>
        <key>HOSPITABLE_PAT</key>
        <string>your-token-here</string>
    </dict>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
    <key>StandardOutPath</key>
    <string>/tmp/hospitable-mcp.log</string>
    <key>StandardErrorPath</key>
    <string>/tmp/hospitable-mcp.err</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Load it:

launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.breezy.hospitable-mcp.plist

Important API Notes

• /reservations endpoint REQUIRES properties[] as a parameter. Always fetch properties first.

• Calendar prices are in CENTS. $150/night = 15000.

• Message rate limits: 2/min per reservation, 50/5min global.

• Calendar update rate limit: 1000 req/min.

• Messages with no sender field are AI-generated (Hospitable automation).

• PAT tokens expire after ~1 year. Rotate at my.hospitable.com.

Combining with Other MCP Servers

Claude Desktop supports multiple MCP servers. Example config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hospitable": {
      "command": "/path/to/hospitable-mcp/venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["/path/to/hospitable-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": { "HOSPITABLE_PAT": "your-token" }
    },
    "pricelabs": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/path/to/pricelabs-mcp/server.py"],
      "env": { "PRICELABS_API_KEY": "your-key" }
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

"HOSPITABLE_PAT environment variable is not set"

• Make sure the env var is set in the Claude Desktop config or your shell

401 Unauthorized

• Your PAT may have expired. Generate a new one from my.hospitable.com

Rate limit errors (429)

• Wait and retry. The server returns rate limit details in the error.

STDIO mode works but HTTP doesn't connect from claude.ai

• Make sure your firewall allows inbound on the port

• If behind a router, set up port forwarding or use a tunnel (ngrok, Cloudflare Tunnel)

• claude.ai custom connector needs HTTPS in production
