Hospitable is the easiest major PMS to use with AI right now, because it runs an official MCP server, the first from any short-term rental platform. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or the Gemini CLI to the hosted server and ask about your properties, reservations, messages, and calendars in plain English.
The setup paths
There's nothing to build and nothing to host. The three steps:
- Check your plan and role. According to Hospitable's help center, MCP is available on the Host, Professional, Mogul, and Legacy plans (not Essentials), and only the primary account holder or a full-access admin can connect an AI agent.
- Add the server to your assistant. In Claude it's a custom connector, in ChatGPT a Developer Mode connector, and in the Gemini CLI a single gemini mcp add command, all pointed at https://mcp.hospitable.com/mcp. Sign in with OAuth when your browser opens.
- Ask in plain English. "What arrivals do I have this weekend?" or "which units have gaps next month?" Remember the server includes write tools: messages sent through MCP go to guests immediately.
The hosted API route
For a tool that has to keep running unattended, you call the Hospitable API directly rather than going through an assistant. Our Hospitable API guide covers the auth model and the limits to design around.
