1Stay — Hotel Booking via MCP

The first MCP server that completes real hotel reservations inside AI conversations. Not search-and-redirect. Not affiliate links. A confirmed booking with a real confirmation number — where your loyalty points accrue and your elite status benefits apply.

Built by Stayker (WPF Holdings, LLC), a licensed travel technology company with 40 years of industry experience operating through established travel distribution networks. When you book through 1Stay, the hotel is the merchant of record — your stay is treated exactly like a direct booking.

Examples

Example 1: Search hotels for an upcoming trip

User prompt: "I need a hotel in downtown Charlotte for May 7-10, two adults."

What happens:

• 1Stay searches available properties near downtown Charlotte for the specified dates
• Returns a list of hotels with nightly rates, star ratings, and distance from city center
• User can ask follow-up questions to narrow results by price, brand, or amenities

Example 2: Get details and book a room

User prompt: "Show me room options from those results, then book the king room."

What happens:

• 1Stay retrieves live room types, rates, cancellation policies, and property amenities
• User selects a room and provides guest name, email, and phone number
• 1Stay creates the reservation and returns a secure checkout URL to complete payment
• Payment is handled on a secure page — credit card information never enters the AI conversation

Example 3: Look up and manage an existing reservation

User prompt: "Can you pull up my reservation and resend the confirmation email?"

What happens:

• 1Stay locates the reservation using the confirmation number or guest information
• Displays reservation details including hotel name, dates, rate, and confirmation number
• Resends the confirmation email to the address on file
• If needed, the user can request cancellation directly in conversation

How Booking Works

1Stay uses a secure link handoff model for payment:

1. Search and select happen inside the AI conversation
2. Guest details (name, email, phone) are collected in conversation to create the reservation
3. Payment is completed on a secure, PCI-compliant checkout page — outside the AI layer
4. Confirmation is delivered via email with your hotel confirmation number

Credit card and payment information never passes through the AI conversation. The checkout URL is valid for approximately 30 minutes.

Pricing

1Stay is a commercial service. A non-refundable booking service fee applies to each completed reservation. Developer API access is available via a monthly subscription with metered usage. Full pricing details are available at 1stay.ai.

Coming Soon

• Event-aware inventory — search and book around tournaments, weddings, and conferences with venue-based search and organizer tools

Which integrations are available for this server?

The following integrations are available for this server:

• Global hotel inventory — 250,000+ properties across 140+ countries including all major chains, independent, and boutique hotels
• Loyalty programs — all major hotel loyalty programs are eligible (points accrue, elite status applies)
• Live rates & availability — real-time pricing, not cached or scraped
• Secure checkout — PCI-compliant hosted checkout page; no payment data in the AI conversation
• Stripe Connect — developers set their own booking service fee (1Stay is not the merchant of record on hotel stays)

1Stay is not a direct integration with any single hotel chain. It is distribution infrastructure — hotels are the merchant of record on every transaction.
