@striderlabs/mcp-booking

MCP server for Booking.com — search hotels, check availability, manage reservations, and more via AI agents.

By Strider Labs

Overview

This MCP (Model Context Protocol) server gives AI agents the ability to interact with Booking.com using browser automation (Playwright). It supports 14 tools covering the full hotel booking workflow.

Tools

Requirements

• Node.js 18+

• A Booking.com account (for bookings, reservations, and wishlist)

Installation

npm install @striderlabs/mcp-booking

Or install Playwright browsers after install:

npx playwright install chromium

Configuration

Add to your MCP config (e.g. ~/.claude/mcp_servers.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "booking": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@striderlabs/mcp-booking"]
    }
  }
}

Authentication

The server uses cookie-based session persistence. Cookies are stored at ~/.strider/booking/.

1. Run booking_login to get the login URL

2. Open the URL in your browser and sign in

3. Run booking_status to verify the session is active

Usage Examples

Search hotels

booking_search(destination="Paris", checkIn="2026-06-01", checkOut="2026-06-05", adults=2, rooms=1)

Filter and sort results

booking_filter_results(maxPrice=200, minRating=8.0, freeCancellation=true)
booking_sort_results(sortBy="rating")

Check availability and prices

booking_check_availability(propertyUrl="https://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/...", checkIn="2026-06-01", checkOut="2026-06-05")
booking_get_prices(propertyUrl="...", checkIn="2026-06-01", checkOut="2026-06-05")

Book a room

# Preview first (no confirm flag)
booking_book(propertyUrl="...", checkIn="2026-06-01", checkOut="2026-06-05", adults=2)

# Confirm booking (only after explicit user approval)
booking_book(propertyUrl="...", checkIn="2026-06-01", checkOut="2026-06-05", adults=2, confirm=true)

Manage reservations

booking_get_reservations()
booking_cancel_reservation(reservationId="12345678", confirm=true)

Safety

• booking_book requires confirm=true and should only be called with explicit user confirmation

• booking_cancel_reservation requires confirm=true and is irreversible

• Both tools return a preview/warning when called without the confirm flag

Development

npm install
npm run build
npm start
