DirectBooker MCP Server Documentation
Description
Direct is best: better rates, better service, better travel.
DirectBooker helps you discover, compare and book hotels at your destination: the right neighborhood, the right vibe, the amenities you need. See photos, real-time rates and availability, and unlock member prices and special packages available only when you book directly.
When you book, you book with the hotel on its official website. You get the direct rate and keep everything you've earned: points, elite status and benefits, and exclusive member offers. DirectBooker covers independent and boutique hotels as well as hotels from all major brands worldwide, including Best Western, Choice, Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, Radisson and many more.
From a last-minute airport room tonight to a resort or wellness retreat booked weeks ahead, DirectBooker helps you plan your trip and book smarter.
DirectBooker is available in the Claude connector directory and the ChatGPT plugin directory, so anyone with a Claude or ChatGPT account can add it.

Intended use

Working with DirectBooker
AI platforms: We work directly with AI assistants and platforms to integrate DirectBooker's direct rates and hotel data. If you run an AI platform, contact us.
Other businesses: We don't currently offer access to businesses that want to use DirectBooker data in their own products, apps or services. We may in the future. If you're interested, let us know.
Fair use: we may apply usage limits per user and per session. Requests above normal traveler volume may be slowed, and may require sign-in or be blocked. See full Terms of Service for more detail.
Privacy
We don't store your search history. Each search is independent.
We never see your booking or payment details. Reservations happen directly with the hotel, on the hotel's own site.
We log clicks on booking links so hotels can credit DirectBooker for the referral.
Hotels receive your trip details only when you click through to book, such as your dates and number of guests, so the booking page is ready for you.
