FrontDesko MCP Server

A public Model Context Protocol server for FrontDesko — the simple, free, modern hotel PMS for independent hotels, B&Bs, guest houses, hostels and small chains.

Endpoint: https://mcp.frontdesko.app/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no auth, read-only)

Add it to your AI assistant and ask real questions — "what does a 20-room hotel pay OTAs per year?", "FrontDesko vs Cloudbeds?", "which plan for a 12-room guest house in Kenya?" — and get answers grounded in FrontDesko's published pages, with source URLs.

Quick start

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http frontdesko https://mcp.frontdesko.app/mcp

Tools

Tool	What it does
get_pricing_and_packaging	FrontDesko's plans: PMS, direct booking engine, guest app and POS free forever (unlimited rooms); channel manager + Ask FrontDesko AI assistant on Growth ($42/mo, 10–30 rooms) and Professional ($54/mo, 30–50 rooms)
compare_pms	Feature-by-feature comparison vs Cloudbeds, eZee Absolute, Hotelogix, Little Hotelier, or Mews — from FrontDesko's published comparison pages
calculate_ota_commission_savings	What a hotel pays OTAs per year, and what shifting 30% of bookings to commission-free direct bookings recovers — same formula as the site calculator
recommend_software	Plan + guide recommendations by property type (16 types), room count, and country (24 country guides)
search_frontdesko_docs	Full-text search over frontdesko.app/llms-full.txt with excerpts and source URLs
check_demo_availability	Live room availability on the public FrontDesko demo property — real data from the same booking engine every FrontDesko hotel gets free

All tools are read-only. Nothing is written, no bookings are created, and the server stores nothing about you.

About the data

Answers come from FrontDesko's own published pages, and every response includes its source URLs. Competitor comparison figures reflect public information as noted on each comparison page. The demo-availability tool queries a dedicated demo property (rate-limited to 10 requests/minute per caller).

Development

npm install
npm test            # 23 tests: unit + e2e over the real Streamable HTTP transport
npm run dev         # wrangler dev → http://localhost:8787/mcp
npm run smoke       # SDK client against a running server (local or prod)
npm run check-urls  # verifies every data URL is live and pricing hasn't drifted

Built as a Cloudflare Worker with agents' createMcpHandler and the MCP TypeScript SDK.

FrontDesko

FrontDesko is hotel management software with an unusual model: the core — PMS, commission-free direct booking engine, guest app, POS — is free forever with unlimited rooms. Paid plans exist for two features: the OTA channel manager and the Ask FrontDesko AI assistant.
