Google Hotels MCP server

Registry name: io.github.johnisanerd/google-hotels. Maintained by AlphaOSINT (Apify developer johnvc, GitHub johnisanerd).

What it does

Search hotels and vacation rentals for a place and dates and get nightly prices, ratings, amenities, property details, and optionally reviews and photos.

Lodging prices and availability for a destination and date range, which flight or maps tools don’t return. Use it for travel agents, rate monitoring and market research.

Paid service on Apify’s hosted endpoint

This server is not self-hosted. It runs on Apify’s hosted MCP endpoint (mcp.apify.com), which starts the Apify Actor johnvc/google-hotels-search-scraper for each tool call. You need an Apify account, and every call is billed to that account at the Actor’s prices below. Apify’s own pricing and terms apply to the account.

Prices shown are Apify’s free-plan rates; paid Apify plans get lower per-event prices. Apify also bills a token amount per run start and per stored row ($0.00001, $0.00005). Prices change from time to time; the Actor’s page on Apify shows the current ones.

Data source and terms

Google Hotels public search results, collected by scraping. The server returns the data as published at the time of the call. You are responsible for using it in line with the source’s terms and the laws that apply to you. AlphaOSINT is not affiliated with the source.

Endpoint

• Transport: Streamable HTTP
• URL: https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/google-hotels-search-scraper
• Auth: Apify OAuth, or Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>

Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http google-hotels "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/google-hotels-search-scraper"

VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json)

{
  "servers": {
    "google-hotels": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/google-hotels-search-scraper"
    }
  }
}

Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-hotels": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/google-hotels-search-scraper"
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop (Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste the URL). Older versions without remote connectors can bridge through mcp-remote in claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-hotels": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=johnvc/google-hotels-search-scraper"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Each client opens an Apify sign-in (OAuth) on first use. To use a token instead, send Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN> as a header; create one under Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations.

Tools

Apify’s endpoint adds the four helper tools automatically whenever an Actor tool is loaded.
