Yes. You connect Hostfully to Claude by running a small MCP server: a lightweight program on your own computer that wraps the Hostfully Platform API. Once it's connected, Claude Desktop or Claude Code can read your properties, leads, orders, and guests and answer questions about them in plain English, no dashboards or exports.
What works today
MCP (the Model Context Protocol) is an open standard from Anthropic that lets AI assistants talk to outside systems. Hostfully has no first-party MCP server as of July 2026, so you build a focused one yourself. It's free, takes about 15 minutes, and API keys are self-serve under Agency Settings on plans that include API access. Each request authenticates with the key plus your agency UID, no OAuth flow involved.
The server is read-only by default, which means Claude can look at your data but cannot change bookings, pricing, or guest records. Your API key stays in environment variables on your own machine and the server runs locally, so nothing about your account is exposed to the outside world.
The hosted API route
If you would rather build a tool against the Hostfully API than run and maintain a server, our Hostfully API guide covers how access works and the limits worth planning around before you write any code.
