FlyBest Travel — Hotel Booking with Advisor Benefits

FlyBest hotel booking plugin — live hotel tools and Skills for Claude

Search, compare and book hotels with your AI assistant. The FlyBest plugin bundles live hotel tools and the flybest-hotels Skill: check rates for your actual dates and guests, compare rooms, advisor benefits and cancellation terms, create a secure one-time payment page, and manage your own bookings. The Skill guides Claude through quote checks, rate selection and booking verification.

The tools connect to a licensed travel agency's reservation system (Sabre) through MCP. Add the plugin in Claude, then authenticate with your email code when connecting its hotel tools. Compatible clients can also connect to the MCP service directly. Free to use; you pay only the hotel.

What a rate looks like with the benefits attached

Illustrative example, not a live quote:

Hotel The Mitsui Kyoto, 12–15 Nov 2026, 2 adults

[Partner] Deluxe Room, King · JPY 898,150 (≈ USD 5,990, estimate) for the stay (tax-in) · free cancellation until 5 Nov includes: daily breakfast for two · USD 100 hotel credit · upgrade on arrival (subject to availability) · early check-in / late check-out · welcome amenity [Public] Deluxe Room, King · JPY 898,150 (≈ USD 5,990, estimate) for the stay (tax-in) · free cancellation until 5 Nov includes: —

Same room, same price in this example, and one of them comes with the extras. A programme rate can also cost more or less than the public rate, so the assistant shows both side by side; only the benefits confirmed for the rate you choose apply, and upgrades and early or late times depend on availability on the day. Prices are in the hotel's own currency, with an estimate in yours; you book and pay in the hotel's currency.

What it is

A hotel plugin with live tools and a search-and-booking Skill. Hotels only. You sign in with your email, and your card is entered on a one-time payment page at ai.flybest.org, never in the chat. The MCP service remains available for clients that only need the tools.

Connector URL: https://ai.flybest.org/mcp

MCP Registry

The registered server is `org.flybest/travel-hotels`. Its publishing metadata is maintained in server.json, including the link to this public repository. This repository provides the hosted service's documentation, MCP Registry metadata, and Claude plugin bundle.

To use the hosted server, add https://ai.flybest.org/mcp as a Streamable HTTP connection in an MCP client with OAuth support, then complete the browser sign-in with your e-mail code. No local server installation or separate API key is required. See Connect for client setup and What you can ask for hotel search, rate comparison, booking and cancellation examples.

Why I built it

I am a travel advisor. The slowest part of the job was asking hotels, one by one, whether a rate includes breakfast, whether there is a credit, whether an upgrade is possible, and until when it can be cancelled. A client says "have a look for me" and I disappear for an hour. So I handed that work to the assistant: it looks, it explains, and when you have chosen, it books.

How it differs from other AI travel tools

Why book through FlyBest instead of direct

The rates come from the hotel's own inventory. Programme rates are often the same price as booking direct, sometimes not, which is why the assistant shows them next to the public rate. Many come through the agency's preferred-partner programmes, which add benefits the hotel does not normally give guests who book direct. Typical inclusions on those rates:

• Daily breakfast for two
• A property credit (commonly US$100 per stay, for dining or spa) where the hotel offers one — the exact credit is confirmed by the agency at booking
• Room upgrade on arrival, subject to availability
• Early check-in and late check-out, subject to availability
• A welcome amenity, and often VIP recognition on file

Rates may include Virtuoso hotel programme benefits where available, through Coastline Travel Advisors, a Virtuoso member agency. Other programmes the agency holds include Rosewood Elite, Mandarin Oriental Fan Club, Peninsula PenClub, Belmond Bellini Club, Dorchester Collection Diamond Club, Maybourne Exclusive, Hyatt Privé, Hilton for Luxury (Waldorf Astoria, Conrad, LXR), IHG Destined (InterContinental, Six Senses, Kimpton), Accor Preferred (Sofitel, Fairmont, Raffles), Shangri-La Luxury Circle, Small Luxury Hotels "Within", Preferred Platinum Partner, Kempinski Club 1897, Langham Couture, Rocco Forte Knights, and Jumeirah. Programme membership changes over time and not every hotel in a brand takes part. When a rate carries these benefits your assistant shows them next to the price, so you can compare a programme rate with the public one side by side, with an estimate of what the breakfast and any stated credit are worth (an estimate, never a discount or a promise); the benefits apply only to the rate you select and are confirmed by the hotel at booking.

The agency also holds Four Seasons Preferred Partner, but those rates are not available through this connection: a partner rate shown at a Four Seasons hotel comes through another programme, with that programme's own benefits. The advisor arranges Four Seasons Preferred Partner bookings directly (jay@flybest.org).

Use your own hotel loyalty membership. Add your member number (Marriott Bonvoy, World of Hyatt, Hilton Honors, IHG One Rewards, ALL Accor …) when booking. Points and elite nights are credited as usual, and your status benefits apply on top of the partner benefits. The assistant can quote public and partner options before you supply a number, then verifies a selected members-only offer with your own number. Brands without a points programme can still offer the benefits stated in their selected partner rate.

Member rates. At Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, I Prefer (Preferred Hotels) and Marriott properties, the hotel's own member rates appear in the rate list next to the public and partner rates, marked members-only. Marriott Bonvoy member rates come back at some Marriott hotels, not all (about 2% under the public rate where measured). They book with your own member number: the assistant searches that hotel again with it, and a rate found with your number books only with that number. No member discount is guaranteed. Joining Hilton Honors, World of Hyatt, IHG One Rewards or Marriott Bonvoy is free.

Plus: a licensed agency behind every booking (Coastline Travel Advisors), the booking is in your name with the hotel, and you can see and cancel it from the assistant.

Connect

Claude (claude.ai / Claude Desktop)

1. In Claude, open Customize → Plugins and search for FlyBest (direct page, sign-in required: FlyBest plugin).
2. Add the plugin, then make sure its FlyBest connector is connected: in Customize → Connectors, click Connect on FlyBest if it is not connected yet (the plugin page lists it under Contents → Connectors). Until it is connected, the /flybest-hotels Skill loads but the hotel tools are missing from the chat.
3. Complete the e-mail-code sign-in on the page that opens. The Skill and MCP connection are included; no separate server installation or manual URL entry is needed.

For a tools-only connection:

1. In Claude's connector settings, choose Add custom connector.
2. Name: FlyBest, URL: https://ai.flybest.org/mcp. Save.
3. Click Connect. On the page that opens choose Sign up with your e-mail, enter your address, type the 6-digit code from the e-mail. Done.

ChatGPT

The FlyBest plugin is published in ChatGPT (2026-10-26, after OpenAI's review): [FlyBest in ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/plugin_asdk_app_6abb17191de48191bc015ca8139bcb30). Add it, then sign in on the same e-mail page as above.

The ChatGPT plugin carries the same live hotel tools and server instructions as the Claude connector and bundles this repository's flybest-hotels Skill. A Skill change reaches ChatGPT with the next plugin version OpenAI has reviewed, so the ChatGPT copy can be a version behind this repository. FlyBest has not verified the ChatGPT mobile apps. A workspace can instead add the server as a developer-mode custom connector (Settings → Apps → Create, URL https://ai.flybest.org/mcp, OAuth) where its settings allow it; see OpenAI's developer-mode and MCP app instructions.

What you can ask

• "Find me a hotel in Kyoto for 12–15 November, two adults, near Gion."
• "Show the rates for the Park Hyatt with breakfast, and what the cancellation terms are."
• "The cheapest refundable room, unless breakfast is only a little more." → the assistant recommends by what matters to you (price, benefits or flexibility) and shows a dearer rate of the same programme next to the cheapest when it adds breakfast or a credit.
• "Two adults and two children aged 8 and 10 in Paris, 20–23 December." → city search prices are provisional; the assistant then checks the chosen hotel's rates for all four guests and the children's ages. A rate verified for that family can be booked directly through a secure payment page, including d
