Connecting Hotel PMS via Local MCP
Mik2503 · reddit · 2026-07-14
The author introduces a **local-first, self-hostable** MCP server that connects a hotel's PMS (property-management system) to a local AI assistant. This enables users to query real-time business data using natural language, such as "Who is checking in today?" or "What is the occupancy rate this week?" Key design choices: - Runs as a local process via stdio without opening ports or acting as a daemon - No telemetry or third-party backends - Connects directly only to the hotel PMS's own API - Credentials are stored locally in `.env`, with tokens kept in memory and redacted in logs - Read-only by default; write operations require an explicit env toggle and follow a preview-then-confirm flow - Built with Node.js/TypeScript under an MIT license, featuring an initial adapter for Apaleo The author notes that Apaleo offers a free developer sandbox with sample data, making it easy to test the entire workflow on a realistic dataset.
