Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hostaway": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "hostaway-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HOSTAWAY_API_TOKEN": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add hostaway --env HOSTAWAY_API_TOKEN=your-value -- npx -y hostaway-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hostaway": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "hostaway-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "HOSTAWAY_API_TOKEN": "your-value"

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "hostaway": {

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_API_TOKEN

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 (0.2.0) 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?

Copied from the maker’s repo as written. PopNx MCP has not reviewed or endorsed it. HTML, images and scripts are removed. Links lead off this site.

hostaway-mcp

Read-only, hospitality-shaped MCP server for Hostaway.

This repo owns the operator product only: local/npm stdio, six read-only tools, no Cloudflare Worker, and no Seascape booking surface.

V1 Goal

Make Codex and Claude useful in real Hostaway workflows without hand-wiring raw API calls every time.

V1 is intentionally narrow:

read-only only
hospitality-native tools, not raw endpoint parity
optimized for conversation context, reservation lookup, and listing lookup

Exact V1 Surface

list_unread_guest_threads
get_conversation_context
get_reservation_brief
get_listing_brief
search_reservations
search_conversations

Local Development

npm install

npm test npm run check npm run build

Run the stdio server locally:

HOSTAWAY_API_TOKEN=your-token-here node dist/cli.js

Create a local npm package tarball:

npm pack

After publish, run without cloning:

npx hostaway-mcp

MCP Client Wiring

For local MCP clients, provide HOSTAWAY_API_TOKEN through the environment and spawn the published npm package over stdio.

The snippets below are pinned to the current published version:

hostaway-mcp@0.2.0

Update that version intentionally when you upgrade.

Claude Desktop (macOS)

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json.

If you already have top-level keys like preferences, keep them and add mcpServers alongside them:

"mcpServers": { "hostaway": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "hostaway-mcp@0.2.0"], "env": { "HOSTAWAY_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here" } } } }

Restart Claude Desktop after saving the file.

Codex

Edit ~/.codex/config.toml and add:

[mcp_servers.hostaway]

command = "npx" args = ["-y", "hostaway-mcp@0.2.0"]

[mcp_servers.hostaway.env] HOSTAWAY_API_TOKEN = "your-token-here"

Verify the server is registered:

codex mcp list

Local Built CLI

If you want to run the repo checkout instead of npm, point the client at the built CLI directly:

"command": "node", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/hostaway-mcp/dist/cli.js"], "env": { "HOSTAWAY_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here" } }

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Default	Description
`HOSTAWAY_API_TOKEN`	Yes	—	Hostaway API token used to authenticate all requests.
`HOSTAWAY_BASE_URL`	No	Hostaway production URL	Override the API base URL (useful for testing).

V1 Non-Goals

sending guest messages
mutating reservations or listings
Cloudflare Worker transport
Seascape booking/distribution flows
webhook ingestion
background sync pipelines
dashboards or owner reporting
generic REST-to-MCP proxy coverage
