1stay tools 8
search_hotelsSearch hotels by location and dates for exactly one room. Returns available properties with nightly rates across major brands, boutique, and independent hotels. The first 1Stay release supports one room per search and reservation. Guest pays the hotel directly. Hotel's own confirmation number. Loyalty points apply.get_hotel_detailsGet rates and room details for exactly one room at a specific hotel. Returns room types, live rates, amenities, cancellation policies, and rate_codes required by book_hotel. Guest pays the hotel directly. Displayed totals include taxes and any applicable, itemized 1Stay Booking Fee. Loyalty points eligible. Room type notes: "Run of house" means the hotel assigns the room at check-in. "Suite" at select-service brands usually means a larger room with a sofa, not a separate bedroom.book_hotelBook exactly one hotel room. The first 1Stay release does not support multi-room searches or reservations. Returns a secure checkout URL. This tool accepts no guest identity or payment fields. Name, email, phone, and payment details are collected on the secure checkout page. Guest pays the hotel directly. Their credit card statement shows the hotel name, not 1Stay. Hotel's own confirmation number. Loyalty points apply automatically. The displayed total includes taxes and any applicable, itemized 1Stay Booking Fee. Requires a rate_code from get_hotel_details, valid approximately 15 minutes. Expired codes are rejected.lookup_bookingLook up a reservation by verifying the guest's identity. Returns the confirmation number and booking summary in conversation. Requires the guest's full name plus either the hotel confirmation number, or the booking email together with the last 4 digits of the card used to book. An email address alone is not enough. An optional check-in date can narrow repeat stays.resend_confirmationResend a hotel reservation confirmation email. Use either the confirmation number from a successful lookup_booking call, or the guest's full name and email address when they do not know their confirmation number, card last four, or check-in date. The email contains the hotel confirmation number the guest can then use with lookup_booking or cancel_booking. Recovery requests never reveal whether a reservation matched. The confirmation is sent only to the email address already on the booking record; there is no recipient override. Email changes are handled at https://stayker.com/service.get_bookingLook up a reservation exclusively by the hotel confirmation number shown in the guest's confirmation email. Internal Stayker booking IDs are never accepted or disclosed by MCP. Returns full booking details including hotel, dates, guest info, rate, and status. Anonymous access requires a verification_token issued by lookup_booking and scoped to a single booking. Without a valid token, no booking data is returned. Developers authenticated with their own API key do not need a token; their access is scoped to their own bookings.cancel_bookingPrepare a hotel cancellation for completion on a secure 1Stay page. Verifies the guest's first name, last name, and hotel confirmation number, then returns the hotel policy classification and any cancellation deadline recorded with the reservation, plus a short-lived cancellation_url. 1Stay does not estimate a refund, credit, penalty, or hotel charge. Calling this tool never cancels the reservation. The guest must review the terms and select Cancel reservation on the secure page. A later verified booking-status lookup reporting status cancelled is the authoritative confirmation that the reservation was cancelled.search_toolsList available 1Stay hotel booking tools. An optional keyword filters by search, book, cancel, or details; absence of a keyword returns all tools.
