A comprehensive MCP Bundle for searching Airbnb listings with advanced filtering capabilities and detailed property information retrieval. Built as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server packaged in the MCP Bundle (MCPB) format for easy installation and use with compatible AI applications.

🚀 Prefer not to run a local server? Try openbnb.ai

👉 openbnb.ai is a hosted MCP server that solves the same problem — searching Airbnb listings — without any local setup.

If you don't want to deal with installing and running this server yourself, openbnb.ai is a separate, fully-hosted alternative you can connect to directly from your MCP client. It goes beyond what this open-source server offers:

• ✅ Zero setup — no Node, no npx, no config files, no updates to manage
• ✅ Advanced filters — richer search controls beyond the base tools here
• ✅ MCP UI — interactive UI components for browsing results, not just plain text
• ✅ Managed & maintained — kept running for you

Head to openbnb.ai for setup instructions and the connection details for your MCP client.

If you'd rather self-host the open-source server, read on.
