Hotel search with Smithery
Live Booking.com rates with the filters the real site has (24 of them). Every property returns with a price, review score, room type, and a working booking link, so the agent can present a shortlist the user can act on immediately.
Free tier on RapidAPI. No card to try.
Step 1 · Connect
Install from the Smithery registry
Qualified names verified against the live Smithery pages on 2026-08-26. The gateway proxies the connection and forwards the key you set in the server config, so usage still meters on your own RapidAPI subscription. Connecting to flights.flightpowers.com and hotels.flightpowers.com directly is one hop shorter and works identically.
mrabi/booking
Set rapidapi_key in the server's configuration on Smithery.Bring your own RapidAPI key: every request is billed to your own subscription, never ours.
Step 2 · Ask it
The prompt
Verbatim: paste it, or anything shaped like it. The agent maps it to the call below.
“Find me a hotel in Lisbon, October 9 to 12, 2 adults, review score 8+, free cancellation.”
Step 3 · Under the hood
What the agent calls
No glue code: the agent reads the tool schema, picks the tool, and fills these parameters from your prompt.
// search_hotels
{
"destination": "Lisbon",
"checkin_date": "2026-10-09",
"checkout_date": "2026-10-12",
"adults": 2,
"filters": [
"review_score_8",
"free_cancellation"
]
}Step 4 · Read the response
Fields your logic reads
The response is flat JSON. These are the fields this recipe branches on, with what each one means.
namestringThe property name as listed on Booking.com.
price_stringstringThe total rate for the stay as Booking.com displays it: “US$2,434”.
review_scorenumberBooking.com guest score out of 10.
review_countnumberHow many reviews the score rests on: a 9.1 from 12 reviews is not a 9.1 from 1,200.
room_typestringWhich room the rate belongs to: compare like with like across markets.
linkstring (URL)A working Booking.com link to the property.
Questions, answered plainly
- Is my key billed to me?
- Yes. The MCP server is bring-your-own-key: Smithery sends your RapidAPI key with each call and usage meters against your own subscription on RapidAPI. There is no FlightPowers account and no second bill.
- Does this need a server of mine?
- No. The MCP servers are hosted at flights.flightpowers.com and hotels.flightpowers.com: you add a URL to Smithery, not a deployment.
- What does it cost?
- The Booking.com Live API's free tier is 10 requests/month with a hard cap: enough to verify your key works, not to evaluate. The PRO plan is $10/month for 2,000 requests, and every plan includes every endpoint.
