Add Airbnb Tool to AI Agent

​
Quick Start

1

Set API Key

Set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable in your terminal:
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
2

Create a file

Create a new file airbnb_search.py with the following code:
from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP

search_agent = Agent(
    instructions="""You help book apartments on Airbnb.""",
    llm="gpt-4o-mini",
    tools=MCP("npx -y @openbnb/mcp-server-airbnb --ignore-robots-txt")
)

search_agent.start("I want to book an apartment in Paris for 2 nights. 03/28 - 03/30 for 2 adults")
3

Install Dependencies

Make sure you have Node.js installed, as the MCP server requires it:
pip install praisonaiagents
4

Run the Agent

Execute your script:
python airbnb_search.py
Requirements
  • Python 3.10 or higher
  • Node.js installed on your system
  • OpenAI API key (for the agent’s LLM)

​
Gradio UI

from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
import gradio as gr

def search_airbnb(query):
    agent = Agent(
        instructions="You help book apartments on Airbnb.",
        llm="gpt-4o-mini",
        tools=MCP("npx -y @openbnb/mcp-server-airbnb --ignore-robots-txt")
    )
    result = agent.start(query)
    return f"## Airbnb Search Results\n\n{result}"

demo = gr.Interface(
    fn=search_airbnb,
    inputs=gr.Textbox(placeholder="I want to book an apartment in Paris for 2 nights..."),
    outputs=gr.Markdown(),
    title="Airbnb Booking Assistant",
    description="Enter your booking requirements below:"
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    demo.launch()
