Google Hotels MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets Claude, Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client fetch live Google Hotels and Google Vacation Rentals prices with the rate every booking site is charging (Booking.com, Expedia, Agoda, Vrbo, Airbnb, Hotels.com, …), plus a 3-month daily price calendar for any single property. Everything comes back as JSON — no Google account, no scraping on your laptop, no Puppeteer.

Backed by three open-source actors on the Apify Store. You bring your own Apify token; the actors are pay-as-you-go on the Apify Free plan at $0.002 / hotel, $0.0015 / daily price and $0.002 / vacation rental. Apify ships $5 of free compute every month and no card is required to start.

Quick start

1. Get an Apify token

Create a free account at https://console.apify.com/account/integrations and copy your Personal API token. Pay-as-you-go, no card to start.

2. Add the server to your MCP client

Claude Desktop — edit claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-hotels": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["google-hotels-mcp"],
      "env": { "APIFY_TOKEN": "apify_api_..." }
    }
  }
}

Claude Code:

claude mcp add google-hotels -- uvx google-hotels-mcp --env APIFY_TOKEN=apify_api_...

Cursor — Settings → MCP → Add Server, same uvx google-hotels-mcp command with APIFY_TOKEN in env.

If you prefer pipx or pip, install google-hotels-mcp and run google-hotels-mcp as the command.

Example prompts

"Find hotels in Paris for 3 nights from 2026-12-20, two adults, in EUR, with the Booking.com and Expedia rate for each one."

"Pull a 3-month daily price calendar for the Hoxton Paris — I want to see which dates are under €200."

"Compare vacation rentals in Lisbon vs Porto, 2 adults, 2026-11-15 to 2026-11-22, 3+ bedrooms, with the Airbnb vs Vrbo rate for each."

Pricing

A full-city hotel search (20 hotels with provider rates) is around $0.08. The Apify Free plan ships $5 of credit every month — about 60 full-city searches — before you need to upgrade.

How it compares

FAQ

Do I need an Apify paid plan? No. The free plan is enough for a few thousand hotel results per month.

Is this official from Google? No, it is an unofficial server that calls the same /travel/hotels endpoints a browser does, via three open actors.

Why three actors instead of one? Google serves calendars and vacation rentals on separate pages, each with its own ranking signals. Keeping them as separate tools keeps costs honest — you only pay for what the agent actually fetches.

What about rate limits? Each actor retries transient failures and respects Google's rate limits. For heavy workloads use the Apify Scheduler (one line in the console) instead of running the MCP tool in a tight loop.
