MCP Functionality

With the Hospitable release of MCP allowing real AI connectivity into the PMS, what is OR's plans for delivering this feature? Timeline?

I am interested in this.

I am interested as well

I have used every PMS out there and I always come back to you guys (I have had different entities and companies that used others vs my own portfolio).  You always do the important stuff better than others.  

I have to say this will be the feature that if not perfected and released sooner than later it will be problematic to remain competitive.  Solely because this allows everyone's creative juices to flow with whatever they can micro build on their own and solve problems you guys might not have the time to address in the short term.

I highly suggest making it easy to connect to with AI like Claude so that we can create micro solutions to the stuff that won't hit your radar fast enough.  This one feature, at the very least, has the potential to solve multiple feature requests up front on our own.

Very interested...

Yes this is huge! Despite the giant headache I get when thinking about reconfiguring our PMS, it's OR's gap here that makes me consider switching to Hospitable. Have any plans for MCP functionality been released? 

We have multiple properties and while Ownerrez has been great so far, lack of Mcp is really hurting at this point  since multiple companies using Hospitable are able to improve their workflows and guest experience using Mcps with LLMs while we are doing things manually. Is there any timeline or plans to enable MCPs because if not, we will be forced to migrate like many other considering the same in our management communities. 

Any movement on this planned? I'm beginning to see opportunities to use it but cant with OwnerRez.

A native MCP integration is on our roadmap, and prioritized highly. We're building it the OwnerRez way so we can stand behind it for accuracy and reliability. OAuth 2.1 (a prerequisite) is releasing this week, which will push us into our next phase of development. We'll share more updates as they become available!

Incredible to hear

For those that need automation through claude now, it takes trial and error, but I am able automate quite a bit now with the api availability for those that are currently investigating.

I have been standing by patiently waiting for OwnerRez to join modern times.
Their API is clunky and the fact that we need to a) get approval for messaging (which I'm still having issues with) and b) need to pay extra to access our own listing information is about to be the final thing that pushes me to something else.

I love OwnerRez, and chose it over others years ago.  I may pivot to Hospitable who is on the forefront of embracing AI with their platform.

Very interested as well. 👍

I'm about to build my own API connection with Claude since there's still no firm timeline here. Would rather not duplicate effort if native MCP is close, but at this point I need to make a call. Any updates on when it'll actually be live? Even a rough quarter would help me decide whether to invest the time in a custom build or keep waiting. This is becoming a must for me!

There are a few things that I don't like about Hosptiable that have kept me from switiching (namely that they charge a commission for direct bookings)...but their MCP is very tempting! I will wait for now, but an update from OR would be great...

Hello all,

Both an MCP server, and a CLI are in the works. However, there is a series of changes and improvements we need to make first to ensure that these are secure, fast, reliable, and useful. We've already released the first few rounds of changes and we are actively progressing on the next steps. I can't provide an exact estimate of when the MCP will land, but we are constantly moving forward to achieve that goal.

- (Released) OAuth 2.1 with read scopes and refresh tokens
- (Released) Revamped documentation site with agent friendly docs and an openapi spec
- (Coming soon) Etag support and better pagination to reduce unnecessary request cycles
- OAuth and Client ID discovery (CIMD) for agents
- MCP server
- CLI
- And much much more

At the same time we are working on many new API endpoints (like tasks and expenses) to expand the scope of what can be achieved with the API. I encourage everyone interested to subscribe to updates on our Developer forum to receive notifications for API announcements. 

Thanks for the update Joel...that's very encouraging!

Hey everyone! Until an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is released by OwnerRez, I’ve built an open-source OwnerRez MCP Server.

It connects OwnerRez directly to AI agents—like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Cline, and Zed—allowing property managers and hosts to manage bookings, check in-house guests, inspect financials, and message guests using natural language.

🌐 Repository Link

👉 GitHub: github.com/buildwithmanag/ownerrez-mcp

🚀 Quickstart (Zero Clone / Zero Venv with uvx)

You can connect it to your favorite MCP client in less than 2 minutes using uv:

1. Get a Personal Access Token in OwnerRez under Settings → API → Personal Access Tokens.
2. Add this snippet to your client’s MCP config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json, ~/.cursor/mcp.json, or .vscode/mcp.json):

jsonc{  "mcpServers": {    "ownerrez": {      "command": "uvx",      "args": [        "--from",        "git+https://github.com/buildwithmanag/ownerrez-mcp",        "ownerrez-mcp"      ],      "env": {        "OWNERREZ_USERNAME": "your_email@example.com",        "OWNERREZ_TOKEN": "your_personal_access_token"      }    }  }}

1. Restart your app, and the OwnerRez tools will be ready!

✨ Key Capabilities

• 🛋️ Who’s Staying Now (who_is_staying): Instantly see current in-house guests across all properties.
• 📅 Bookings & Stays (list_bookings, get_booking): Query active/canceled stays, check arrivals, and inspect booking details.
• 👥 Guest Lookup (find_guest): Search guests by name or email.
• 💳 Financial Readouts (list_quotes, list_payments, list_refunds, list_fees): View payments, quotes, and fee breakdowns.
• 💬 Guest Messaging (list_messages, send_message): Read guest threads and draft/send replies.
• 📥 Push Webhook Inbox (ownerrez-mcp webhook): Includes a lightweight local webhook receiver to capture incoming guest messages into a local inbox (list_open_messages).
• 🛡️ Safety / Read-Only Mode: Set OWNERREZ_READ_ONLY=1 to hard-block write operations (sending messages, modifying webhooks) while testing.

💡 Example Prompts to Try

• "Who is checking out today and at which properties?"
• "Who is currently staying at Peak-9 Place?"
• "Show me all guest payments for booking #18393490."
• "Draft a warm welcome and check-in message for the guest arriving tomorrow."
• "Show my unhandled guest messages from the webhook inbox."
