DirectBooker MCP Server

DirectBooker is an AI-native aggregator that connects large language models to real-time hotel inventory. It exposes a Model Context Protocol server that returns availability, rates, room types, amenities, and direct booking links from participating hotel brands and their connectivity partners, so travelers can search and compare hotels through conversation instead of OTA websites.

The MCP server is hosted by DirectBooker and listed as an official connector in Claude. There is no self-hosted package to install and no API key to manage. After enabling the connector, users invoke it inside a Claude chat with @directbooker and ask natural language questions about destinations, dates, neighborhoods, or specific properties. The server returns structured hotel results that the model can rank, refine, or summarize.

DirectBooker has signed supply agreements with five of the ten largest global hotel chains, including BWH Hotels and Radisson Hotel Group, and integrates with connectivity providers such as SiteMinder, Shiji, and DerbySoft. This makes it one of the first production MCP servers focused on travel commerce, aimed at giving hotels a direct channel into AI assistants rather than routing bookings through online travel agencies.

Support

Contact hello@directbooker.ai for partner or integration questions.

• Compare hotel options in a destination by dates, neighborhood, vibe, or amenity directly inside a Claude conversation, with refinement through follow-up questions.
• Pull real-time rates and availability for a specific hotel brand or property, including loyalty-aware pricing for chains like BWH Hotels and Radisson.
• Surface direct booking links that bypass OTAs, preserving member rates and loyalty benefits travelers would lose on third party sites.
• Validate property features (pool, parking, pet policy, accessibility) against authoritative hotel data instead of scraped web content.
• Plan a multi-city trip by chaining hotel searches per leg and summarizing tradeoffs across options.

• "@directbooker find me a four star hotel near Times Square for July 12 to 15 under $400 per night with a gym."
• "@directbooker compare Radisson properties in central London for next weekend and show member rates."
• "@directbooker show details, amenities, and direct booking link for the Best Western Plus in Austin downtown."
• "@directbooker I need a pet friendly hotel with parking in Scottsdale for a Friday to Sunday stay in October."
• "@directbooker plan a 7 night trip: 3 nights Rome, 4 nights Florence, mid-range hotels with breakfast."

• Officially hosted by DirectBooker and listed in the Claude connector directory, so no self hosting or API key management is needed.
• Real supply behind it: signed agreements with five of the top ten global hotel chains, including BWH Hotels and Radisson, plus connectivity partners like SiteMinder, Shiji, and DerbySoft.
• Returns direct booking links that preserve hotel member rates and loyalty benefits, unlike OTA aggregators.
• Zero friction setup: no OAuth login, no account creation, and works out of the box once the connector is enabled.

• Read-only: the server returns search results and details, but the actual booking still happens on the hotel website rather than inside the MCP session.
• Coverage is limited to participating chains and connected properties, so independent or non-partner hotels may not appear.
• Documentation is sparse on technical internals such as response schemas, rate limits, and a public server URL, since access is mediated through Claude's connector UI.

• Booking.com or Expedia style OTA MCP integrations (where available) for broader inventory but without direct booking benefits.
• Custom MCP wrappers around hotel APIs such as Amadeus Self-Service or Sabre for developers who need raw GDS access.
• Travel-focused agent frameworks that combine flight, hotel, and itinerary tools rather than hotel-only search.
