MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard that lets AI assistants use external tools. Add the URL below to Claude, Grok, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client, and when you ask about hotels it pulls real Hotelist data: AI ratings (0-10, computed from reviews and photos, no pay-to-play), nightly prices, pros & cons, amenities and photos.
