Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted Smoobu connector that lets an assistant read vacation-rental properties, reservations, rates, availability and guest messages, and create or update…

What you can do
  • Look up the account user, properties and their details, add-ons and custom message placeholders
  • List, filter and read reservations with price breakdowns and message placeholder values
  • Read nightly rates and minimum stays, and check availability with a total price quote for a stay
  • Read the guest inbox, conversations and per-reservation messages, and list or fetch CRM guests
  • Create or update reservations, set rates and minimum stays, and send messages to guests or the host
When to use it
Useful when you manage short-term rentals in Smoobu and want an assistant to answer questions about upcoming arrivals, free dates and prices, or recent guest messages, and to make routine booking, rate or messaging changes without opening the dashboard.
Requirements
Remote MCP endpoint; no local install. Connect with the URL only and sign in through OAuth, where you supply your Smoobu API key and API secret (Settings, Advanced, API Keys). The server stores them per user. A free plan allows 50 tool calls per month; paid plans are billed separately.
Before you install
Write tools change live data: creating a reservation blocks dates and syncs them to every connected channel, setting rates pushes prices to channels guests see, and messages to guests are delivered immediately and cannot be unsent. Confirm before any write. Guest names and contact details are personal data and may require Guest Data (PII) enabled on the key. Paid plans are billed through Stripe checkout links.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Smoobu MCP by usefulapi in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.usefulapi%2Fsmoobu/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config.

README

Smoobu MCP by usefulapi

Use Smoobu from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — check properties, reservations, rates, availability, guest messages and guests, and create or update bookings. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Smoobu credentials.

Live endpoint: https://smoobu.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/smoobu

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://smoobu.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http smoobu https://smoobu.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
json
{  "mcpServers": {    "smoobu": {      "url": "https://smoobu.usefulapi.io/mcp"    }  }}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Smoobu credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/smoobu/

On first connect you'll provide your Smoobu API key and API secret (Settings → Advanced → API Keys). They're validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.

Pricing

PlanPriceLimit
Free$050 tool calls / month
Pro (per user)$9/mo or $90/yr (2 months free)10,000 tool calls / month
Pro+ (per user)$39/mo or $390/yr (2 months free)100,000 tool calls / month

Each paid plan covers this server only. Ask your AI to run smoobu_upgrade and choose Pro or Pro+, billed monthly or yearly (it returns a Stripe Checkout link). If you already have Pro, ask to change it to Pro+. The change requires your confirmation, keeps your billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. Cancel any time with smoobu_cancel_subscription: your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period, with no refund for the current period, and asking to resume the same plan with smoobu_upgrade before then undoes the cancel. Or write to [email protected].

smoobu_get_user

Get the current user

Fetch the Smoobu user these credentials belong to (id, name, email). A cheap way to confirm the setup works; the id is the customerId used by availability checks. Smoobu: GET /api/me.

Takes no parameters.

smoobu_list_apartments

List properties

List every property (Smoobu calls them apartments) in the account, with id and name. Start here to get apartment ids. Smoobu: GET /api/apartments.

Takes no parameters.

smoobu_get_apartment

Get one property

Fetch one property's details: location, time zone, rooms and beds, max occupancy, amenities, currency, min/max nightly price and type. Smoobu: GET /api/apartments/{apartmentId}.

Parametersapartment_idrequired

smoobu_list_reservations

List reservations

List reservations across all channels (Airbnb, Booking.com, direct, ...), paginated, with guest, dates, channel, price and payment status. Filter by stay range, arrival, departure, creation or modification date, and property. Smoobu: GET /api/reservations.

Parameterstofrompagepage_sizearrival_tocreated_tomodified_toapartment_idarrival_fromcreated_fromdeparture_tomodified_from+5 more

smoobu_get_reservation

Get one reservation

Fetch one reservation by id: guest, dates, check-in/out times, channel and its reference id, price, prepayment and deposit status, and the guest-app URL. Smoobu: GET /api/reservations/{reservationId}.

Parametersreservation_idrequired

smoobu_list_price_elements

List a reservation's price elements

List the financial breakdown of one reservation: base price, cleaning fee, add-ons, long-stay discounts and coupons, with amounts, tax and currency. Smoobu: GET /api/reservations/{reservationId}/price-elements.

Parametersreservation_idrequired

smoobu_get_reservation_placeholders

Get a reservation's message placeholders

Get every placeholder value Smoobu would substitute into a message for this reservation: guest name, dates and times, nights, price and balance, online check-in link, guest-app link, door PIN codes and more. Useful for drafting a guest message. Smoobu: GET /api/reservations/{reservationId}/placeholders.

Parametersreservation_idrequired

smoobu_get_rates

Get rates and availability

Get the nightly price, minimum length of stay and availability (0 = not available) for each date in a range, for one or more properties. Smoobu: GET /api/rates.

Parametersend_daterequiredstart_daterequiredapartment_idsrequired

smoobu_check_availability

Check availability and quote a stay

Check which properties can be booked for an arrival/departure pair and get the total price for each; unavailable ones come back with the reason (minimum stay, too many guests, arrival day, lead time...). Read-only, books nothing. Smoobu: POST /booking/checkApartmentAvailability.

Parametersguestscustomer_idarrival_daterequiredapartment_idsdiscount_codedeparture_daterequired

smoobu_list_message_threads

List inbox threads

List the unified guest inbox: booking.guest_name, latest_message.subject, latest_message.text_content and latest_message.html_content, plus property and unread count. Read HTML when plain text is empty. Guest names require Guest Data (PII) enabled for the key; missing upstream content is not reconstructed. Smoobu: GET /api/threads.

Parameterspage_sizepage_numberapartment_ids

smoobu_get_conversation

Read a booking conversation

Read one reservation and one page of its actual messages directly, rather than relying on an inbox thread's latest-message summary. Returns the guest name from the reservation and unmodified message subject, plain-text and HTML fields with pagination. If the reservation name is blank and it identifies a guest, also checks that guest's documented profile for a name. Uses only this connection's permissions; does not reconstruct missing content or change the key's PII access. At most three read requests. An empty body remains explicitly unresolved; a successful HTTP response is not evidence that content is present.

Parameterspagereservation_idrequiredonly_related_to_guest

smoobu_list_reservation_messages

List a reservation's messages

Get a reservation's conversation, paginated, preserving subject, message (plain text), messageHtml/htmlMessage (HTML), and type (1 = inbox / from guest, 2 = outbox / sent). Read HTML when message is empty. Guest names are on smoobu_get_reservation (guest-name) or smoobu_list_message_threads (booking.guest_name), not this endpoint; Guest Data (PII) must be enabled for the key. Missing upstream content is not reconstructed. Smoobu: GET /api/reservations/{reservationId}/messages.

Parameterspagereservation_idrequiredonly_related_to_guest

smoobu_list_guests

List guests

List guests from the Smoobu CRM with their emails, phone numbers, address, notes and bookings; optionally search. Smoobu: GET /api/guests.

Parameterspagequerypage_size

smoobu_get_guest

Get one guest

Fetch one guest by id (the guestId on a reservation) with contact details, notes and every booking they have made. Smoobu: GET /api/guests/{guestId}.

Parametersguest_idrequired

smoobu_list_addons

List add-ons

List the bookable add-ons (towels, breakfast, late check-out...) with amount, tax, calculation type (0 per booking, 1 per person, 2 per night, 3 per person and night) and the properties they apply to; optionally for one property. Smoobu: GET /api/addons[/{apartmentId}].

Parametersapartment_id

smoobu_list_custom_placeholders

List custom placeholders

List the account's custom message placeholders (key, default value, and whether they are global, per booking or per property). Smoobu: GET /api/custom-placeholders.

Takes no parameters.

smoobu_create_reservation

Create a reservation

Create a reservation (or a blocked period) on a property. Smoobu treats it like a booking from a channel and SYNCS the blocked dates to every connected channel (Airbnb, Booking.com, ...). Fails if the dates overlap an existing booking. This server offers no cancel — cancel it in Smoobu if needed. Which guest fields are mandatory depends on your booking-tool 'Form Content' settings. Smoobu: POST /api/reservations.

Parametersemailphonepriceadultsnoticeaddresscountrydepositchildrenlanguagelast_namechannel_id+11 more

smoobu_update_reservation

Update a reservation

Update an existing reservation's times, guest contact, notes, guest counts, language, or price / prepayment / deposit amounts and paid status. Only the fields you pass are sent. Dates and property cannot be changed here. Smoobu: PUT /api/reservations/{reservationId}.

Parameterspriceadultsnoticedepositchildrenlanguageguest_nameprepaymentguest_emailguest_phonearrival_timeprice_status+5 more

smoobu_set_rates

Set rates and minimum stays

Set the nightly price and/or minimum length of stay for dates on one or more properties. Smoobu PUSHES these to every channel with price sync enabled, so this changes live prices guests see. Reversible by setting the old values again — read them first with smoobu_get_rates. Each operation needs daily_price, min_length_of_stay, or both (a minimum stay alone needs an existing price). Smoobu: POST /api/rates.

Parametersoperationsrequiredapartment_idsrequired

smoobu_send_message_to_guest

Send a message to a guest

Send a message to the guest of a reservation through Smoobu (it goes out on the booking's channel, e.g. the Airbnb or Booking.com inbox, or email). Delivered IMMEDIATELY and cannot be unsent — confirm the text with the user first. Smoobu: POST /api/reservations/{reservationId}/messages/send-message-to-guest.

Parameterssubjectmessage_bodyrequiredreservation_idrequired

smoobu_send_message_to_host

Post a message to the host

Post a message on a reservation's thread addressed to the Smoobu user (the host). With internal=true it is an internal note hidden from the guest — handy for logging. Cannot be unsent. Smoobu: POST /api/reservations/{reservationId}/messages/send-message-to-host.
