Available components
How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically against the live server, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Endpoint Security77
- The endpoint's TLS certificate is valid, in date, and uses a strong key. View diagnostics → Pass
- No authorisation is required to call this server. Every tool declares its destructiveHint and none is destructive, so open access doesn't expose one. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Partial
- HTTPS is enforced; there's no plaintext access path. View diagnostics → Pass
- HSTS check failed: the Strict-Transport-Security header is absent. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- DNSSEC is configured correctly; the domain's records validate against the full chain to the root. View diagnostics → Pass
Transport & Reachability100
- Verified streamable-http transport via a live MCP handshake. View diagnostics → Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability35
- 0% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Fail
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1798 tokens (~256/item across 7 items; 6 tools + 1 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management40
- Stability observed for 12 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage86
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 59% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
- Supports UI / widget rendering.Pass
How do I install the VICATOO Hotel Discovery MCP server?
VICATOO Hotel Discovery is a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.vicatoo.com/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

about_vicatoo About VICATOO (company info & trust credentials) ~110
Returns factual information about VICATOO the company: who VICATOO is, the "Truth Before You Book" value proposition and benefits, and trust credentials (legal entity, TRUE/CCRA accreditation, D-U-N-S number, registered address). Call this whenever the guest asks who VICATOO is, why they should trust VICATOO, what VICATOO offers or how it is different, or anything about the company or brand — so you answer from grounded facts, never invented ones.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
check_availability Check live rates for a hotel ~283
Fetch live VICATOO rates for a hotel for the given check-in/check-out dates and occupancy. Returns up to `limit` rates with room name, price, meal type, bed type and cancellation policy. Booking itself always completes on vicatoo.com — to book, direct the guest to open the hotel page URL (the search_hotels card link already carries the dates and guests); never promise in-chat booking.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| adults | integer | – | – |
| check_in | string | yes | – |
| check_out | string | yes | – |
| children_ages | array | – | – |
| currency | string | – | 3-letter ISO currency for the rate prices. Defaults to USD so rates match the search-result prices; pass the same currency the guest saw in search. |

get_hotel_details Get full details for a hotel ~312
Fetch full details for a single hotel by its VICATOO hotel_id (numeric hid or slug). Returns name, star rating, REAL guest rating (score/10 + review count — cite it, and call get_hotel_reviews for guest pros/cons before strongly recommending), what the hotel is known for (vibe_tags), location, check-in/out times, headline amenities, images, a description, AND the available rooms cheapest-first — each with photos, live from-price, size, view, bed type, meal plan and cancellation. When has_video is true, offer the real room-tour video via get_room_video with the returned reel_id.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| currency | string | – | 3-letter ISO currency for room prices. Defaults to USD so hotel details match the search-result prices; pass the same currency the guest saw in search. |
| hotel_id | – | yes | VICATOO hotel id — either the numeric hid (e.g., 7476954) or the slug (e.g., "bentley-hotel-bosphorus-7476954"). |
| lang | string | – | 2-letter language code for content (en, ar, de, fr, es, ru, etc.). |
| view | string | – | Optional preferred view family (e.g. "bosphorus", "sea", "garden", "city", "pool"). When the guest arrived from a view-constrained search, pass it so rooms with that view are floated to the top inste… |

get_hotel_reviews Get guest reviews for a hotel ~122
Fetch guest reviews for a hotel from the VICATOO content API. Supports pagination via `cursor` (page offset) and `limit`. Returns aggregate count and per-review summary (author, rating, pros/cons, stay context).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cursor | integer | – | Page offset (0-based). |
| hotel_id | – | yes | VICATOO hotel id — numeric hid OR slug etg_id (the same id search_hotels and get_hotel_details return); slugs are resolved server-side. |
| lang | string | – | – |
| limit | integer | – | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_room_video Get a video tour of a hotel room ~74
Returns VICATOO's real room-tour video for a hotel reel as a branded reel PAGE link on vicatoo.com (reel_url). Share that page link with the guest — NEVER surface any raw video file URL. Includes hotel/room name and caption.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| reel_id | – | yes | Reel primary-key id (numeric). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_hotels Search hotels and rooms (smart descriptive search) ~883
Search hotels by a descriptive natural-language query in Arabic or English. Applies star rating, bedroom count, room type, and landmark or view as filters, and returns results grouped into match-quality sections (perfect match, close, alternative type, more) — each with the matched room, its photos, and a live per-night + total stay price, meal plan and cancellation policy — every card shown carries a live price bound to its displayed room. Use it for any hotel search; pass the user's full descriptive phrase as `query` (for example "5-star hotel in Paris" or "two-bedroom apartment with an Eiffel Tower view"). Call check_availability for booking-ready rates on a specific hotel. TIER MEANINGS (disclose when recommending): perfect = every stated constraint met; near = minor deviation; unit_swap = the requested unit type had no availability so a similar type is offered; wider/fallback = constraints relaxed. PRESENTATION (follow this when you talk about the results): you are VICATOO's travel concierge — always call the platform VICATOO, never name any supplier. Speak warmly and help the guest feel confident booking, but stay strictly truthful per 'Truth Before You Book': no invented urgency, no 'booked N times', no fake scarcity — only real signals. The real quality signals you may cite: review_score (out of 10) with review_count, and vibe_priority (what the hotel is known for, e.g. families/spa/luxury). For each hotel say in one line WHY it matches (tier, view, distance, what it is known for, rating), and briefly compare the top 2-3 so the guest can choose. Before strongly recommending one hotel, call get_hotel_reviews for real guest pros/cons. When a card has has_reel=true, offer VICATOO's real room-tour video via get_room_video with that card's reel_id. When the search includes children, mention each hotel's extra-bed note so families know whether a child bed is included before they open the page. NEVER render external/third-party maps (Google Maps widgets etc.) for…
