How do I install the keithah-hostex-mcp MCP server?

Install it through Smithery, an MCPB release package, or a manual stdio configuration. The manual setup runs `npx -y hostex-mcp` and provides `HOSTEX_ACCESS_TOKEN`; Smithery also offers a hosted MCP endpoint. Local development requires Node.js 18 or newer and npm.

What credentials does the keithah-hostex-mcp MCP server need?

It needs a Hostex API access token from your Hostex account settings. Configure the token as `HOSTEX_ACCESS_TOKEN` in the documented local or hosted MCP configuration, or provide the required `accessToken` value through the server configuration schema.

Does keithah-hostex-mcp work with Cursor?

The README does not provide Cursor-specific instructions, but it states that the server works with any MCP-compatible client. Cursor configuration details are therefore not documented by the project and may depend on the client’s support for stdio or streamable HTTP.

Can the keithah-hostex-mcp MCP server send messages to guests?

Yes, it can list guest conversations, retrieve conversation details, and send messages to guests. The relevant tools are `hostex_list_conversations`, `hostex_get_conversation`, and `hostex_send_message`, and they operate through the configured Hostex API access.

Overview

The keithah-hostex-mcp MCP server connects MCP clients to the Hostex property management API for vacation-rental operations. It exposes tools for properties, reservations, availability, listings, guest conversations, reviews, webhooks, custom fields, and related account data. The server supports local stdio connections and streamable HTTP for remote or web-based clients. Use it when an agent needs to inspect or update Hostex data, provided you supply a Hostex API access token.

How Keithah Hostex MCP works

What keithah-hostex-mcp MCP server does

The keithah-hostex-mcp MCP server gives an MCP-compatible client access to Hostex vacation-rental management functions. It connects through the Hostex API and covers both read operations and selected changes to bookings, availability, guest communications, listings, and account configuration.

Supported workflows include listing properties and room types, searching reservations, creating direct bookings, cancelling reservations, and updating stay lock codes. Agents can also read and change reservation custom fields, check availability, and block or reopen dates.

The server includes guest-communication tools for listing conversations, retrieving conversation details, and sending messages. Review tools query reviews and create reviews or replies. Listing-related tools retrieve calendars and update channel prices, while webhook tools list, register, and remove configured webhooks.

How it works

The project is built on the hostex-ts TypeScript client for Hostex API v3.0.0. MCP protocol handling uses the Model Context Protocol SDK, with Smithery providing multi-transport support. Zod is used for schema validation.

Two transport builds are available:

stdio for local applications such as Claude Desktop
shttp, or streamable HTTP, for remote and web-based MCP clients

An MCP client sends tool calls using natural-language requests or its own tool interface. The server passes supported operations to Hostex using the configured access token and returns the API results to the client.

Setup and configuration

The keithah-hostex-mcp MCP server requires a Hostex account with API access and a Hostex API access token. The README directs users to obtain the token from their Hostex account settings.

Installation options include the Smithery CLI, the hosted Smithery endpoint, an MCPB release package, or a manual local configuration. For a local stdio setup, the documented configuration runs npx -y hostex-mcp and supplies the token through HOSTEX_ACCESS_TOKEN. The hosted configuration uses the Smithery MCP URL and also supplies the token.

The project requires Node.js 18 or newer and npm for development. Developers can clone the repository, install dependencies, and build the stdio, streamable HTTP, or both transport bundles. The repository also provides a development command for running the server with Smithery.

Tools and capabilities

The available tools support these areas:

Properties and room types
Reservation search, creation, cancellation, lock codes, and custom fields
Availability checks and date blocking or reopening
Guest conversations and outbound messages
Review queries, reviews, and replies
Webhook registration, inspection, and deletion
Listing calendars and channel price updates
Custom channels and income methods

These tools let an agent answer operational questions, make direct booking changes, communicate with guests, and update selected inventory or listing data through Hostex.

Limitations and notes

The project is an unofficial community implementation and is not officially supported by Hostex. Its operations depend on the Hostex API and on the permissions associated with the configured access token. The README documents Claude Desktop and generic MCP compatibility, but does not provide client-specific setup instructions for every MCP application.

The tool list describes the available operations, but does not state that every Hostex API endpoint is exposed. Review write, reservation, availability, pricing, messaging, and webhook changes carefully before allowing an agent to execute them in a production account.
