This guide will help you set up the Airbnb MCP server, provides AI assistants on TypingMind with the ability to search Airbnb listings with advanced filtering capabilities and detailed property information retrieval.
Why setting Airbnb MCP on TypingMind?
Connecting the Airbnb MCP server to TypingMind lets your AI assistant directly access Airbnb data in real time.
With this setup, you can:
- Search Airbnb listings by location, date, price, or amenities.
- Retrieve detailed property information such as reviews, host data, and availability.
- Automate property discovery and comparison using natural language prompts.
- Integrate Airbnb search results into larger workflows when using TypingMind with other MCP servers (like Notion or n8n).
Step-by-step to install Airbnb MCP on TypingMind
Step 1: Set up MCP Connectors
In TypingMind, go to Settings → Advanced Settings → Model Context Protocol to start setup your MCP connector. The MCP Connector acts as the bridge between TypingMind and the MCP servers.

- Or a private remote server.
If you choose to run the MCP servers on your device, run the command displayed on the screen.
