# Qontaktly > Qontaktly is a direct hotel booking platform. Hotels, hostels, B&Bs, and vacation rentals list their rooms here and take commission free direct bookings. AI agents can search live availability and book rooms on behalf of guests. ## Book via MCP Qontaktly exposes a booking MCP server (Streamable HTTP transport): - Endpoint: POST https://www.qontaktly.com/api/mcp - Metadata: https://www.qontaktly.com/.well-known/mcp.json - Overview (for humans and agents alike): https://www.qontaktly.com/mcp Tools: - search_properties: find bookable properties by name, city, or country. - get_availability: room types, stay totals, and rate plans for a property and date range. - create_held_booking: create a reservation held for about 1 hour pending the deposit. - get_payment_link: get the secure link the guest uses to pay the deposit. - get_booking_status: check a reservation's current status by reservation id. - get_room_photos: room photos returned as inline images the conversation can display. Hold semantics: creating a booking holds the room for about 1 hour. Paying the deposit within that window confirms the reservation; unpaid holds are released automatically. ## Check availability over plain HTTP GET https://www.qontaktly.com/api/agent/availability?property=&check_in=YYYY-MM-DD&check_out=YYYY-MM-DD&adults=2&children=0 Example: https://www.qontaktly.com/api/agent/availability?property=sunset-villa&check_in=2026-08-01&check_out=2026-08-04&adults=2 Returns JSON with the property, the sellable room types with stay totals and rate plans, the deposit policy, and booking links. Dates use YYYY-MM-DD; stays are 1 to 90 nights. ## Booking pages Every property has a public booking page for humans at https://www.qontaktly.com/book/. Agents that cannot use MCP can hand the guest that link.
