## Agentic API for LLMs

BusinessHotels.com provides an Agentic API optimized for Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets AI agents fetch live hotel rates for specific properties. The primary production endpoint is:

- Endpoint: `POST https://www.businesshotels.com/mcp-server.php?route=tools/get_live_hotel_rates`
- Headers:
  - `X-API-KEY: test-live-hotel-rates2025`
  - `Content-Type: application/json`

The main tool is:

- Name: `get_live_hotel_rates`
- Description: Retrieve real-time rates for a specific hotel from a 2M+ property database, returning a booking URL with a price-locked `ppn_bundle`.
- Input parameters:
  - `hotelName` (string, required): Detailed name + city + country. Example: `"InterContinental Mark Hopkins, San Francisco, US"`.
  - `checkinDate` (string, required): Check-in date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
  - `checkoutDate` (string, required): Check-out date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
  - `adults` (integer, optional, default 1): Number of adult guests (1–4).
  - `currency` (string, optional, default `"USD"`): 3-letter ISO code such as `USD`, `EUR`, or `GBP`.

This same schema can be used in MCP `tools/list` responses as the `inputSchema` for compatible LLM clients.

## Response Model & Agent Behavior

The API response includes key fields:

- `hotel_id` (string): Identifier for the hotel; agents can store this for session continuity.
- `display_all_in_total` (float): Final price including all taxes; agents should quote this as the total amount.
- `booking_page_live_rates` (URL): Direct booking URL containing a `ppn_bundle` that locks the rate for 20 minutes.
- `best_match_score` (float): Confidence score for matching the requested `hotelName`.

Recommended agent logic for `best_match_score`:

- Score > 0.85: Treat as a reliable match; quote the price and provide the booking link.
- Score between 0.60 and 0.85: Ask the user to confirm the hotel name and city before proceeding.
- Score < 0.60: Ask the user for a more specific hotel name, city, or address.

If the API returns a 400 validation error, agents should check that `hotelName`, `checkinDate`, and `checkoutDate` are present and correctly formatted.

## Example Use Case

An AI assistant helping a traveler can:

1. Ask the user for a specific hotel name, city, country, dates, number of adults, and preferred currency.
2. Call `get_live_hotel_rates` with the structured parameters.
3. Use `display_all_in_total` as the final price and present `booking_page_live_rates` as a “Book Now” action.
4. Explain that the rate is locked for a limited time via the embedded `ppn_bundle`.
