Public users connect to the hosted endpoint https://bitvoya.com/api/mcp with a Bitvoya-issued agent key from Dashboard -> Connect Agent. No self-hosting is required for normal usage.

Why Bitvoya MCP

Bitvoya is not a generic hotel feed wrapped in MCP. It is designed around luxury booking value and the handoff boundary real travel agents actually need.

| What Bitvoya does well | Why it matters for agents | | --- | --- | | Luxury-first hotel coverage | Better fit for high-end trip planning, concierge, and member travel flows | | Structured benefits and promotions | Agents can explain breakfast, upgrade eligibility, late checkout, and property credits without scraping prose | | Explicit pricing semantics | supplier_total_cny, service_fee_cny, and display_total_cny stay distinct | | Secure checkout handoff | Card entry and payment stay on Bitvoya-owned surfaces instead of agent chat | | Remote hosted MCP | Users connect directly over Streamable HTTP with bearer auth |

Built For

AI travel assistants
concierge and itinerary agents
premium membership travel copilots
Bitvoya-connected partner agents
workflows that care about stay quality, perks, and real booking value

Quick Start

1. Create an agent key

Sign in to https://bitvoya.com
Open Dashboard -> Connect Agent
Create a named agent connection

Direct page:

https://bitvoya.com/dashboard/agent-keys

2. Connect the hosted MCP

Use the hosted endpoint:

https://bitvoya.com/api/mcp

Add this header:

Authorization: Bearer <your_agent_key>

Minimal remote MCP configuration:

{
  "type": "streamable_http",
  "url": "https://bitvoya.com/api/mcp",
  "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Bearer <your_agent_key>"
  }
}

If you are testing manually outside an MCP client, also send:

Accept: application/json, text/event-stream

3. Start with a tool-driven travel prompt

Examples:

Search luxury hotels in Tokyo for next weekend and compare the best options.
Find five-star hotels in Paris with breakfast and explain which rate has the best value.
Prepare a booking quote for the strongest Shangri-La option in Singapore.

Recommended Models

Bitvoya works best when the driving model is strong at tool selection, stateful booking flows, and not hallucinating hotel details from prior knowledge.

prefer Claude 4.6, GPT-5.4, or comparable flagship reasoning models
these models follow quote, intent, and state-polling steps more reliably
smaller models can connect, but they are more likely to skip tools or blur pricing semantics
for weaker automatic tool choosers, the safest generic first-call entry tool is start_travel_planning
if the request is already clearly a live hotel search, start_hotel_search remains the hotel-specific fast path

Supported Client Setups

Client-specific setup guides are in docs/public/CLIENT_SETUP.md.

| Client | Remote MCP | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | Cherry Studio | Yes | Use the wrapped import shape plus manual Authorization header entry | | Cursor | Yes | Works with mcp.json and environment-backed bearer auth | | Windsurf | Yes | Remote Streamable HTTP with custom headers | | Claude Code | Yes | Use claude mcp add --transport http | | GitHub Copilot CLI | Yes | Configure as remote HTTP MCP | | Goose | Yes | Use the remote MCP endpoint and bearer header |

What Agents Can Do

Bitvoya MCP is designed for discovery, comparison, quote preparation, and secure completion handoff.

| Workflow | Primary tools | | --- | --- | | Generic first-step routing | start_travel_planning | | City and hotel discovery | start_hotel_search, search_hotels, compare_hotels | | Hotel detail and room/rate exploration | get_hotel_detail, get_hotel_rooms, compare_rates | | High-level booking start | create_booking | | Quote preparation | prepare_booking_quote | | Booking intent creation | create_booking_intent | | Order and handoff state polling | get_booking_state |

Luxury Value Edge

Bitvoya is strongest when the traveler cares about premium stay value instead of just the lowest visible headline rate.

participating rates can surface breakfast, upgrade paths, early check-in, late checkout, and hotel credit such as USD 100 property credit
long-stay promotions such as stay 3 pay 2 and stay 4 pay 3 can materially change effective value
benefits and promotions are returned in structured output, so the agent can compare real booking quality instead of guessing from marketing copy

Benefit availability still depends on hotel, rate, market, and stay dates. Returned hotel and rate payloads should always be treated as the source of truth.

Booking Journey

Bitvoya intentionally keeps sensitive execution on Bitvoya-hosted surfaces.

The agent discovers hotels, rooms, and rates.
The agent prepares a booking quote and creates a booking intent.
The traveler is handed to a Bitvoya-hosted secure checkout surface.
The agent continues polling state with get_booking_state.

Public agents do not directly own:

raw card entry
payment execution
final supplier-facing booking submission

That boundary is deliberate. It keeps the public MCP useful without pushing payment risk or card handling into third-party chat tools.

Price Fields

Agents should present pricing carefully.

search-stage output may include supplier_min_price_cny as indicative discovery pricing
final room and rate evaluation comes from get_hotel_rooms
get_hotel_rooms returns:
supplier_total_cny
service_fee_cny
display_total_cny
display_total_cny is the guest-facing total aligned with current Bitvoya product behavior

Important Notes

Bitvoya calls this flow Connect Agent
the generated credential is a revocable agent key
website login credentials and MCP credentials are intentionally different
multiple agent keys under one Bitvoya user still map to the same Bitvoya account history
normal users connect to the hosted MCP and do not need direct database or server configuration
