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_searchremains the hotel-specific fast path

What Agents Can Do

| Workflow | Primary tools |
|---|---|

| Hotel detail and room/rate exploration | get_hotel_detail, get_hotel_rooms, compare_rates |
| High-level booking start | create_booking |

| 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 100property credit - long-stay promotions such as
stay 3 pay 2andstay 4 pay 3can 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_cnyas indicative discovery pricing - final room and rate evaluation comes from
get_hotel_rooms get_hotel_roomsreturns:supplier_total_cnyservice_fee_cnydisplay_total_cny
display_total_cnyis 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
