@striderlabs/mcp-airbnb

MCP server for Airbnb — lets AI agents search listings, check availability, manage reservations, and book stays via browser automation.

Built by Strider Labs.

Features

• 14 tools covering the full Airbnb workflow
• Playwright-based browser automation (headless Chromium)
• Stealth patches to avoid bot detection
• Cookie persistence for session management
• Random delays between actions to mimic human behavior
• Graceful CAPTCHA handling
• JSON responses with success/error fields on all tools

Installation

npm install -g @striderlabs/mcp-airbnb
npx playwright install chromium

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airbnb": {
      "command": "striderlabs-mcp-airbnb"
    }
  }
}

Or with npx:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airbnb": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@striderlabs/mcp-airbnb"]
    }
  }
}

Authentication

Airbnb requires manual login (no API key). The server saves session cookies so you only need to log in once.

1. Ask your AI agent: "Check my Airbnb login status"
2. If not logged in, use airbnb_login to get the login URL
3. Open the URL in your browser and log in
4. Run airbnb_status to confirm the session is active

Cookies are stored at ~/.strider/airbnb/cookies.json.

Safety

• Booking (airbnb_book) and cancellation (airbnb_cancel_reservation) require explicit confirm=true — they return a preview otherwise
• The agent will never book or cancel without your confirmation
• All destructive actions include clear warnings

Development
