Pricing is where small changes add up fast. Your AI can’t see the market on its own through MCP, but it knows your account inside out.
It can also read competitor prices if you give it a way in. Here’s how to combine the two. 📊
New to MCP? Start with Part 1
Part 2: Direct bookings
📈 Prompt 1: Get a pricing snapshot
“Show me the base nightly price, weekend price, cleaning fee and extra-guest fee for each of my properties in a table. Flag anything that looks inconsistent between similar properties.”
📅 Prompt 2: Check your booking pace
“For each property, count the nights already booked in each of the next three months, and how many of those reservations came in during the last 30 days. Flag any month under 40% booked and suggest what I could look at first.”
📊 Prompt 3: Compare against your competitors
“Act as my revenue manager. Review my Hospitable pricing and availability for the next 90 days. Here are my main competitors: [PASTE LISTING LINKS]. Compare nightly rates, cleaning fees, minimum stays and total guest prices for the same dates and guest counts. Consider differences in size, amenities and guest experience. Tell me where I might be underpricing, overpricing or missing bookings, and give me 5 actionable recommendations. Label which prices you verified and which are estimates.”
💡 Tip: To check competitor prices live, your AI needs a browsing tool such as Claude in Chrome. Without one, paste in prices or screenshots. Airbnb’s terms restrict automated tools collecting data from its site, so check the platform’s rules before you use a browsing agent.
📉 Prompt 4: Review last year’s performance
“Using my reservations and payouts, show nights booked, revenue and average nightly rate per property per month for the last 24 months, split by channel. Which month underperformed most compared with the same month the year before?”
⚠️ Before approving any price change, ask your AI for a before-and-after table in your currency and read it carefully.
🔒 Remember: ask for recommendations first, and approve every change before it’s made.
