Read rooms, rates, inventory, reservations and price quotes in ThinkReservations. Hosted by usefulapi: connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client.
Turn on the ThinkReservations connector, then ask in plain words. The AI picks the tools.
For hotels, inns and rental properties that manage bookings in ThinkReservations.
List the reservations with a stay date in a date range. Add the guest contact details if the API key has the customer scope.
Read the daily inventory per room type for a date range. List the room types first to get their ids. Use the numbers to plan sales.
Search what the property can sell for given dates and guests. Read the price per rate type with fees, taxes, deposit and total. The quote books nothing.
Read the day-by-day price, minimum stay and closed-to-arrival rules of a rate type. Compare them with the active promotions of the property.
List the reservations that changed since a given time. Use the result to update a report or sheet without a full export.
List the blackouts in a date range. See which rooms are blocked on which dates before you promise a room to a guest.
The login page asks for your Hotel ID and Restricted API key.
Create the key in ThinkReservations → Settings → API Keys (you need the “Can manage API keys” permission). The same page shows your hotel ID. Grant only the read scopes you need; add read:hotel so the key can be checked. Your key is used only to call the API for you and to derive a private account id; it is never shown to anyone.
Team and Enterprise: an Owner adds the connector for the organization first.
No Add custom MCP server option? It depends on your account or workspace settings: see OpenAI's guide.
Run this command, then run /mcp in Claude Code to log in:
Add to Cursor or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"thinkreservations": {
"url": "https://thinkreservations.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Add to VS Code or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"thinkreservations": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://thinkreservations.usefulapi.io/mcp"
}
}
} Run these commands. The second one opens the login page:
Windsurf, Cline, Zed and other MCP clients: add this URL as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). The client then opens the login page in your browser.
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: the login page asks for your Hotel ID and Restricted API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
| Plan | Price | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 50 tool calls / month |
| Proper user | $9/mo · $90/yr | 10,000 tool calls / month |
| Pro+per user | $39/mo · $390/yr | 100,000 tool calls / month |
Each paid plan covers this ThinkReservations server only. Ask your AI to run thinkreservations_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 thinkreservations_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 thinkreservations_upgrade before then undoes the cancel.

No. usefulapi is an independent service. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by ThinkReservations. The server calls the ThinkReservations API with your own ThinkReservations access, so it sees only the data that your account can see.
Yes. In Claude, add this server's URL as a custom connector. In ChatGPT, add it as a custom MCP server in Plugins. Then log in once. Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code and Codex work too. See the setup steps.
The login page asks for your Hotel ID and Restricted API key. See Before you connect for where to find them.
No. 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: the login page asks for your Hotel ID and Restricted API key. If the config has such a header, remove it: some clients then send that header instead of the login token, and every call fails with 401.
The login stores them encrypted in the authorization grant of your connection. The server uses them to call the ThinkReservations API for you and to derive a private account id for usage metering. usefulapi does not show them on any page or in any reply. To stop all access, remove the connector and change or delete these credentials in ThinkReservations.
All 11 ThinkReservations tools are marked read-only.
The Free plan gives 50 tool calls / month. Pro costs $9/mo or $90/yr, with 10,000 tool calls / month. Pro+ costs $39/mo or $390/yr, with 100,000 tool calls / month. Each subscription covers this ThinkReservations server only. Cancel any time: your paid plan then runs to the end of the paid period. Run thinkreservations_usage_status to see how many calls you used.
Ask the AI to run thinkreservations_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+. After you confirm, your existing subscription changes in place, keeps its billing interval and charges the price difference for the rest of the period immediately. To cancel, run thinkreservations_cancel_subscription. Your paid plan continues to the end of the paid period.
Tell the AI what you wanted to do. It can send the request with thinkreservations_request_feature. We store the text with the server name, the type of AI client and the tool you tried, not with your account, and read every request when we plan new tools. You can send up to 5 requests per day.
Any client that supports remote MCP servers (Streamable HTTP) with OAuth login: Claude (web and desktop), Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and others.
This is a Model Context Protocol endpoint — meant to be connected from an AI client, not opened in a browser. An invalid_token response at the URL is the auth gate working as designed; clients authenticate automatically.
