Overview

What changes when Claude searches stays for you

This is an extension for Claude Desktop, made by OpenBnB, that searches Airbnb listings for you. Instead of juggling tabs and filters, you describe the trip in a sentence: where, when, who comes and how much per night. Claude runs the search, opens the listings worth a look and lays out what separates them, with a direct link to each one.

A shortlist built from your constraints. Two adults, a toddler and a dog, three nights in Lisbon under a set budget: airbnb_search takes location, dates, guests, pets, a price range and the type of place, then returns matching stays with their prices and links.

The small print, before you fall for the photos. airbnb_listing_details brings back a listing's amenities, house rules, highlights and location, including the amenities Airbnb shows struck through, grouped as not included.

A side-by-side you can act on. With both tools, Claude can compare three flats on what matters to you and hand you the links to book yourself.

What Claude will not do: by default the sheet only exposes reading, and the publisher describes no booking, messaging or account sign-in. Booking stays on Airbnb, in your hands. Nothing runs by itself either: no alert fires when a price drops. Background watching of that kind belongs to an automation tool, a different trade; the Integrations hub covers it.

Vocabulary

Five words in one minute

The terms you will meet when you add this extension to Claude.

Connector
The link you set up once between Claude and an outside service, so Claude can use it while it answers you. Here, it is a desktop extension.
Tool
One named capability a connector gives Claude. Claude decides by itself which ones to call; the directory sheet lists them by name.
Authorization
The service's own sign-in screen, where you grant the access Claude will use. Granted once, per person, and withdrawn the same way.
Approval
The confirmation Claude waits for before going ahead with something that changes an account, shown in the conversation when it counts.
MCP
The shared standard behind connectors: it is what lets an assistant like Claude talk to an outside service, here Airbnb's public listings.
Connect

Add Airbnb Search & Listings to Claude in three steps

  1. 01

    Find it in Claude Desktop

    Open Claude Desktop's settings, go to Customize, then Connectors, and find Airbnb Search & Listings. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, an Owner or Primary Owner has to enable a connector before members can use it.

  2. 02

    Launch the installation

    Click Connect on its row and go through the window that opens, which belongs to the extension. If it stops working later, Disconnect it and add it again from the same list.

  3. 03

    Read what you are accepting

    Read the screen before confirming: for a connector, it is the service that sets what access covers, not Claude. Here the publisher describes no Airbnb sign-in, only extension settings you can adjust afterwards.

Tools

The 2 tools, by what they do

Airbnb Search & Listings gives Claude 2 tools: 2 that read your account, 0 that change something in it.

Both tools on this sheet read. Their names stay exactly as Claude shows them.

  • 2 read

What Claude reads (2)

2 tools

Two tools that look up listings without touching any account.

airbnb_listing_details

Opens one listing by its identifier and returns its location with coordinates, amenities by category, house rules, highlights, description and a link, so Claude can check it against your needs.

When it helps
before booking, you want to know whether the flat truly has a washing machine or lists it as not included.
Watch out
the publisher notes results may lose detail when Airbnb redesigns its pages.

Approvals

What Claude asks before acting

By default, Claude stops and asks you to confirm before any action it carries out on an account for you. Both tools here only read public listings, and no source says whether a confirmation appears when Claude calls them.

On a Team or Enterprise workspace, owners decide whether members may let certain actions through without being asked each time. They can also restrict what a connector may do across the organisation, keeping reading open and closing writing for example, and nobody overrides that from a personal account. Claude works with the rights of the person who connected and nothing more; this extension, as the publisher describes it, has no Airbnb account behind it at all.

Plans

Which plans include it

None of the 819 sheets in the official directory shows plan availability. That information, connector by connector, is published nowhere: a real gap in the catalogue.

The general rule is public: desktop extensions install on Claude Desktop, while remote connectors open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile. On Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables a connector for the organisation before members can use it. For the current state of this one, check its sheet in the directory.

Limits

Where this extension stops

A connector is not an automation. Claude calls these tools while it answers you: nothing starts when a new listing appears or a price changes.

A tool list that only reads is an observed floor, not a guarantee: an administrator can open actions shown on no public sheet. The verification badge is not a security audit, and Anthropic writes on each sheet that it does not choose a publisher's tools. Everything here comes from OpenBnB's own repository and the directory sheet; no Claude help article covers this extension. To compare with a connector that writes, see the Claude activecampaign connector.

FAQ

Claude Airbnb Search & Listings connector: common questions

01What can Claude do with the Airbnb Search & Listings connector?
Claude can search Airbnb stays and dig into individual listings while it answers you. One tool searches by location with optional dates, guests, pets, nightly price range and type of place, and returns prices and links. The other opens a listing and returns its location, amenities by category, house rules, highlights and description. You describe your trip in plain words and Claude decides which of the two tools to call.
02Can Claude book a stay or message a host on Airbnb?
No tool on the sheet does that by default: both read, and none books, sends or deletes anything. The publisher describes no Airbnb sign-in either, so there is no account for Claude to act in. Treat the list as an observed floor rather than a promise, since an administrator can open actions that no public sheet shows. In practice, Claude hands you direct links to the listings, and you book on Airbnb yourself.
03Does Claude ask before searching Airbnb?
By default Claude asks for confirmation before any action it carries out on an account for you. No source describes a confirmation specific to either of these two tools, so only that general rule is documented, and both of them only read public listings. On a Team or Enterprise workspace, owners decide whether members may let certain actions run without a prompt, and they can limit what the connector is allowed to do for everyone.
04Which Claude plans include Airbnb Search & Listings?
No official source publishes plan availability connector by connector, and none of the 819 directory sheets shows it. The general rule says desktop extensions install on Claude Desktop, while remote connectors are open to all users on Claude, Cowork, Claude Desktop and mobile; on Team and Enterprise, an Owner or Primary Owner enables connectors first. This one is a desktop extension. Its directory sheet is the only place with its current state.
05Does Claude see my Airbnb account?
Not through this extension, as its publisher describes it: there is no Airbnb sign-in, and the two tools work on public listings. Claude always works with the rights of the person who connected and nothing more. What does leave your computer is the location you type, which goes to two outside geocoding services, Photon and Nominatim, besides airbnb.com itself. Only the location string is sent, and you can avoid it by supplying an explicit place ID or switching geocoding off.
06Why do searches outside the US come back broken?
Because geocoding was switched off. Before searching Airbnb, OpenBnB sends the place name to two outside geocoding services, Photon and Nominatim, and only that location string goes out. If you disable the step to keep every request on airbnb.com, the publisher warns that results for non-US locations break. Supplying an explicit place ID for the destination is its other way to skip the outside services, so keep geocoding on unless you have that ID at hand.
07Claude or an automation tool for Airbnb searches?
They do different jobs, so the use decides rather than a ranking. Claude with this extension suits a live conversation: you describe the trip, it searches, compares listings and explains the trade-offs, then gives you links. An automation tool runs in the background on a trigger or a schedule, without you there. This extension has no background mode: nothing happens on its side until you ask Claude something in Claude Desktop.
