Common questions

Is hostaway-kit 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_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 (1.0.2) reached the registry 26 days 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-kit

Read-only MCP server plus Cursor / Claude Code / Codex skills for operators who already run Hostaway as their PMS.

Ask an assistant about listings, calendar, inbox, and simple reports. Hostaway stays the system of record. This kit never writes — no messages, no calendar blocks, no reservations.

Shipped by [STYLABS](https://www.stylabs.com/work/hostaway), an AI-native venture studio that builds custom Hostaway booking sites and operator dashboards. STYLABS is not an official Hostaway partner.

What you get

Read-only MCP (stdio) — list_listings, get_listing, get_calendar, list_reservations, list_conversations, list_messages, plus inbox triage, draft reply, and reports.
Denylist on every listing / reservation / message payload: wifiPassword, wifiUsername, doorSecurityCode, doorCode, doorCodeVendor, doorCodeInstruction, and all invoicing* contact fields.
Inbox intelligence Hostaway does not compute — unanswered / SLA triage and a suggested reply grounded in *that* listing's fields, house rules, and calendar. Rates come from the calendar or are reported as unknown. Nothing is sent.
Reports Hostaway does not ship as owner statements — occupancy and blocked holes from the calendar, unanswered thread counts, listing completeness (photos / house rules / amenities). No financials.
Skills in this repo (not on npm) that tell the model to use the MCP tools and never invent numbers.

Mapped to the Hostaway Public API:

Kit behaviour	Hostaway
Active listings	`GET /v1/listings?specialStatus[]=active`
One listing	`GET /v1/listings/{id}?includeResources=1`
Calendar	`GET /v1/listings/{id}/calendar?includeResources=1`
Stay search on the list	`availabilityDateStart`, `availabilityDateEnd`, `availabilityGuestNumber`
Check-in / check-out	integers 0–23 (`checkInTimeStart`, `checkInTimeEnd`, `checkOutTime`)
Amenities	`amenityId` integers, not free-text names (`GET /v1/amenities` resolves names)
Inbox	`GET /v1/conversations`, `GET /v1/conversations/{id}/messages`
Create reservation / send message	out

If HOSTAWAY_ACCOUNT_ID or HOSTAWAY_CLIENT_SECRET is unset, the server serves bundled fixtures so npx still demos.

Install / run

npx -y hostaway-kit

Or from this repo:

npm install

npm run build node dist/index.js

stdio only. Logs go to stderr. Credentials are optional.

Environment

Variable	Required	Purpose
`HOSTAWAY_ACCOUNT_ID`	for live reads	Hostaway account id (`client_id` on `POST /v1/accessTokens`)
`HOSTAWAY_CLIENT_SECRET`	for live reads	Client secret from the Hostaway dashboard
`HOSTAWAY_KIT_NOW`	no	ISO timestamp that pins "now" for SLA math (used by tests)

Get an API client secret from the Hostaway dashboard. This kit does not ship or use a Hostaway account.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (or project .cursor/mcp.json):

"mcpServers": { "hostaway": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "hostaway-kit"], "env": { "HOSTAWAY_ACCOUNT_ID": "your-account-id", "HOSTAWAY_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret" } } } }

Leave both env values empty, or omit env, to run the fixture demo.

Copy the skills from this repo into Cursor:

cp -R skills/* ~/.cursor/skills/

Claude Code

Add to ~/.claude.json (or project .mcp.json):

"mcpServers": { "hostaway": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "hostaway-kit"], "env": { "HOSTAWAY_ACCOUNT_ID": "your-account-id", "HOSTAWAY_CLIENT_SECRET": "your-client-secret" } } } }

Skills:

mkdir -p .claude/skills

cp -R skills/* .claude/skills/

Codex

~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.hostaway]

command = "npx" args = ["-y", "hostaway-kit"]

[mcp_servers.hostaway.env] HOSTAWAY_ACCOUNT_ID = "your-account-id" HOSTAWAY_CLIENT_SECRET = "your-client-secret"

Skills live in this repository under skills/. Point Codex at that folder or copy the SKILL.md files into your Codex skills path.

Skills (repo only)

Skill	When to use
`skills/hostaway-pms`	Hostaway stays the PMS. Do not push their website builder.
`skills/hostaway-guest-answers`	Answer guests from that listing's fields only.
`skills/hostaway-availability`	Date-range availability from list filters + calendar.
`skills/hostaway-inbox`	SLA triage and draft. Never send.
`skills/hostaway-reporting`	Occupancy, holes, unanswered counts, completeness.

The npm package is the MCP server only. Skills stay in git.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`list_listings`	Active listings; optional city / name / availability filters
`get_listing`	One listing, resources included, secrets stripped
`get_calendar`	Day rows with status, `isAvailable`, `price` (null = unknown)
`list_reservations`	Reservations; door codes stripped
`list_conversations`	Inbox threads
`list_messages`	Messages in a thread
`inbox_triage`	Unanswered + SLA (`breached` / `waiting` / `answered`)
`draft_reply`	Grounded draft. `send` is always `false`.
`report_occupancy`	Reserved / available / blocked + blocked holes
`report_inbox`	Unanswered thread counts
`report_completeness`	Missing photos, house rules, amenities

Occupancy rate = reserved nights ÷ (reserved + available). Blocked nights are listed as holes, not folded into occupancy.

Fixtures

Demo inventory (not a real Hostaway account):

101 Harbor View Studio — complete listing. Raw fixture includes wifiPassword / invoicing contacts; the denylist strips them.
102 Riverside Loft — no photos.
103 Pine Cabin — no house rules, no amenities.
199 — archived; omitted unless includeArchived is true.
August 2026 calendar on 101 with reserved nights, a two-night blocked hole (6–7 Aug), and 11 Aug with price: null.
Unread threads 501 (SLA breach), 502 (within SLA), 504 (pets question on the incomplete listing). 503 is answered.

Tests

npm test

Covers denylist, fixture filters, occupancy math, SLA counts, draft refusal of secrets and invented rates, and the absence of a send path.

Out of scope

Writes of any kind. Guest Payments, Stripe, WordPress plugins, a hosted Claude connector, a Cursor marketplace plugin, Hostaway's website builder, Flagship guest websites, owner statements, or live client data.
