FAQ
Is there an official Google Hotels API? Google's Hotel APIs are for hotel partners managing their own prices; there's no public API for Google Hotels search results.
How many hotels per search? Up to 20; use neighbourhood or star-rating searches to cover a city.
Can it track hotel prices for my dates? Yes. Schedule a search for your city and dates with Only price drops on: each run saves only hotels whose nightly price dropped, with the previous price, ready for Slack, email or a webhook.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
