Hostfully + AI

How do I use AI with Hostfully?

You connect Hostfully to your AI assistant with a small MCP server: a local program that wraps the Hostfully Platform API and exposes it as tools. Once connected, Claude, the Gemini CLI, or ChatGPT (via a hosted connector) can read your properties, leads, orders, and guests and answer questions in plain English.

It's free, takes about 15 minutes, and is read-only by default, so the assistant can look but not change anything. The three steps are the same whichever assistant you use:

  1. Get your API key. In Hostfully, keys are self-serve under Agency Settings on plans that include API access. Copy your agency UID too; most Platform API requests are scoped to it.
  2. Run the MCP server. A small Node.js file wraps the Platform API and exposes read-only tools for properties, leads (bookings and inquiries), orders, and guests.
  3. Ask in plain English. Point Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT at the server and ask things like "which properties have check-ins this weekend?" or "show me the order on that lead."

The full walkthrough has the working code and the exact setup for each assistant.
