We’re excited to introduce a powerful new capability that takes your short-term rental operations beyond Hostex itself.
Hostex now supports integration with leading AI agents through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that allows AI tools to securely connect to your Hostex account and take actions on your behalf.
This means you can now manage your properties, reservations, pricing, messaging, and operations using natural language inside your favorite AI assistant.
🤖 AI Agents You Can Connect
With this release, Hostex can be connected to most MCP-compatible AI tools, including:
- Claude (Anthropic) — including Claude Code and Claude Desktop
- Cursor — AI-powered coding and automation assistant
- Codex (OpenAI) — developer-focused AI agent tools
- OpenClaw — advanced AI agent framework for custom workflows
- And any other MCP-compatible AI assistant or custom agent
These tools can now securely interact with your Hostex account and execute real operations based on your instructions.
🏡 What This Means for Short-Term Rental Hosts
This update transforms how you can manage your business.
Instead of clicking through dashboards, you can now simply talk to your AI assistant and say things like:
- “Block my property next weekend”
- “Increase prices for the holiday season”
- “Reply to this guest and confirm check-in details”
- “Create a cleaning task for tomorrow”
- “Show me upcoming reservations for next week”
Your AI agent will then perform these actions directly in Hostex.
💡 Why This Matters
This is more than just a new integration — it’s a new way of working.
With AI agents connected to Hostex, you can:
- Automate repetitive daily operations
- Manage multiple properties faster and more efficiently
- Build custom workflows tailored to your business
- Combine Hostex data with external tools and AI logic
- Reduce manual work while improving responsiveness to guests
For advanced users, this opens the door to fully customized automation beyond what’s available in the Hostex interface.
⚙️ How It Works
Hostex exposes its API through MCP, an open protocol used by leading AI systems. Once connected, your AI assistant can securely access authorized Hostex tools and perform actions such as managing reservations, updating calendars, sending messages, and more.

With this release, Hostex becomes part of a growing ecosystem where AI agents don’t just assist you — they operate your business with you.
We’re excited to see what you build.
