Claude Tools for Airbnb Search

This project demonstrates how to use Claude 3.7 Sonnet with tools to search for Airbnb listings programmatically. Claude naturally uses the provided tools to search for accommodations based on user queries without requiring extensive system prompts.

Features

• Supports searching for accommodations with parameters like:
  • Location
  • Check-in/check-out dates
  • Number of guests

How It Works

1. The script initializes a connection to the Airbnb MCP Server
2. It provides two tools to Claude:
