Common questions

Is Hostaway safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: HOSTAWAY_ACCOUNT_ID, HOSTAWAY_CLIENT_SECRET

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.1) reached the registry 7 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

hostaway-mcp

An open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and Cursor to the Hostaway property management API. Query reservations, listings, calendars, financials, and guest conversations using natural language.

Quick Start

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

Setup

Claude Desktop (Mac & Windows)

Open your Claude Desktop config file:

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Add the following (merge with existing mcpServers if you have other servers configured):

"mcpServers": { "hostaway": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@matt-long-plux/hostaway-mcp"], "env": { "HOSTAWAY_ACCOUNT_ID": "YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID", "HOSTAWAY_CLIENT_SECRET": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET" } } } }

Restart Claude Desktop and you're ready to go.

Claude Code

Option 1 — CLI command (quickest):

claude mcp add hostaway \

-e HOSTAWAY_ACCOUNT_ID=YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID \ -e HOSTAWAY_CLIENT_SECRET=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET \ -- npx -y @matt-long-plux/hostaway-mcp

Option 2 — `.mcp.json` in your project root (good for sharing with teammates):

Cursor

Add the same config to your project's .cursor/mcp.json, or go to Cursor Settings > MCP Servers > Add Server and paste:

Updating

If you installed a previous version via npx, your system may have a cached copy. To update to the latest release:

npx clear-npx-cache

Then restart your AI client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.). The next launch will automatically pull the latest version.

Alternatively, you can pin @latest in your config to always fetch the newest version on each restart:

"args": ["-y", "@matt-long-plux/hostaway-mcp@latest"]
