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 at the Hilton 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 booking for Charlotte and resend the confirmation email?"

What happens:

1Stay locates the reservation using the booking ID 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

Example 4: Event-based group search

User prompt: "My son's baseball team has a tournament in Las Vegas July 12-15. Find hotels near the Las Vegas Ballpark for 8 families."

What happens:

1Stay searches properties near the venue with availability for the tournament dates
Returns options suitable for families with pricing for the full stay
Each family can book individually through their own secure checkout link
No group block required — no cutoff dates, no minimum room commitments

How Booking Works

1Stay uses a secure link handoff model for payment:

Search and select happen inside the AI conversation
Guest details (name, email, phone) are collected in conversation to create the reservation
Payment is completed on a secure, PCI-compliant checkout page — outside the AI layer
Confirmation is delivered via email (and SMS if opted in)

Credit card and payment information never pass 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 monthly subscription with metered usage. Full pricing details are available at 1stay.ai.
