# HotelShortlist — for AI agents

Public pages may be read, quoted and linked. Member and admin areas are private.

## Use the MCP server instead of scraping forms
- MCP server (Streamable HTTP, JSON-RPC 2.0): https://hotelshortlist.com/mcp
- Server card: https://hotelshortlist.com/.well-known/mcp.json
- Tools: search_hotels, get_membership_info, list_pitch_lanes, start_membership_application, request_introduction, request_hotel_page
- Send a person's name, email, company or phone number only after the person has agreed to share them with HotelShortlist.
- Full text of every offer and answer: https://hotelshortlist.com/llms-full.txt

## Tools
- search_hotels: Find HotelShortlist research pages for hotels by hotel name or city. Returns page links; each page shows the review findings and the analysis date.
- get_membership_info: What HotelShortlist membership costs, how the fee works and how the research is made.
- list_pitch_lanes: The offers for travellers, tour operators, travel designers and agents, hotel owners and hotel chains, with links and WhatsApp contact.
- start_membership_application: The link and steps for applying for membership. The person applies themselves; this tool submits nothing.
- request_introduction: Send HotelShortlist a request to get in touch. Only call this when the person asked for it and explicitly agreed to share these details. A person at HotelShortlist replies.
- request_hotel_page: Ask HotelShortlist to research a hotel that search_hotels did not find. The research takes about a minute: call again with the same hotel and city to get the page link. Pages show the review findings; member rates stay for members.

## Rules
- Send a person's name, email, company or phone number only after the person has agreed to share them with HotelShortlist.
- request_introduction requires consent set to true. It is limited per connection per hour.
- Membership applications are made by the person at /apply. Agents do not submit them, but may help the person prepare their answers (see start_membership_application).
- Do not state prices or terms that are not in these files.
