What is the Hostaway MCP server?

Hostaway PMS: reservations, listings, calendars, financials, and guest messaging. That is what the hostaway mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.

The short version

  1. Get your Account ID and Client Secret from your Hostaway dashboard under Settings > API 2. Make sure you have Node.js 18+ installed 3. Pick your AI client below and add the config — no cloning or building required

The tools it exposes

The server publishes 6 tools. What each one is for:

  • Cursor — Add the same config to your project's .cursor/mcp.json, or go to Cursor Settings > MCP Servers > Add Server and paste:
  • Reservations — The Reservations tool exposed by this server
  • Listings — The Listings tool exposed by this server
  • Calendar — The Calendar tool exposed by this server
  • Financials — The Financials tool exposed by this server
  • Conversations — The Conversations tool exposed by this server

Getting it running

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @matt-long-plux/hostaway-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: HOSTAWAY_ACCOUNT_ID, HOSTAWAY_CLIENT_SECRET, YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID, YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

How it compares

Plenty of planning and project tracking servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Hostaway's toolset — Cursor, Reservations, Listings and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by mattlong-plux; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Hostaway to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 6 tools (Cursor, Reservations, Listings, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Hostaway directly.
