You can connect an AI app, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to your Koobo host account. You can then ask it in chat to create draft listings and edit parts of your listings. This is optional. You can still do everything in your host dashboard.
Before you start
- You need a Koobo host account. Only hosts can connect an AI app.
- You need an AI app that lets you add a custom connector. Not every AI app or plan includes this.
- The AI app can only read and edit the listings on the account you sign in with. If you are a team member on another host's account, it cannot reach that host's listings.
How to connect
- In your AI app's settings, find connectors and add a custom connector. Menu names differ between AI apps.
- Enter Koobo as the name and paste this address: https://www.koobo.ph/mcp
- When the AI app asks, sign in to Koobo with the account that has your listings.
- Read the list of permissions on the Koobo page, then click Allow. Only allow AI apps you trust.
What the AI app can do
Stays. Read your stays and create draft stays. Edit the title, description, facilities, backup power, house rules and guest notices.
Vehicle rentals. Read your rentals and create draft rentals for a car, motorbike or bicycle. Edit the make, model, body type, fuel, transmission, year, description, condition, colours, seats, engine size, weight capacity, renter rules, rental policies, and what is included or costs extra.
Activities. Read your activities and create draft activities. Edit the title, description, activity types, highlights, languages, what guests should bring, what is not allowed, and activity policies.
What stays in your dashboard
An AI app cannot change your prices, photos, availability, bookings or payouts. It also cannot submit, publish or delete a listing.
You can only change these in your dashboard too: location, stay type, rooms, check-in times, activity duration and schedules, number of vehicles, rental deposit amounts, and cancellation days.
Before you ask for changes
Drafts are not visible to guests. A new draft appears only in your host dashboard. Add the remaining details there, such as the location, prices and photos, then submit the listing.
Edits to a live listing reach guests straight away. The AI app saves without a preview step, so ask it to show you the new text before it saves.
Facilities, rules, add-ons and checklists are replaced as a whole. The selections the AI app saves replace your current selections, so tell it to keep the ones you want. Custom entries you typed yourself are not removed.
Check your listings before you try again. Each request to create a draft makes a new draft. If a request fails or times out, ask the AI app to list your listings first, so you do not create duplicates.
Example requests
- "Show me all my listings and which ones are live."
- "Rewrite the description of [listing name] to be shorter and friendlier. Show me the new text before you save it."
- "Add Wi-Fi and parking to [listing name] and keep its other facilities."
- "Create a draft rental for my automatic 125cc motorbike."
- "Create a draft activity for a surf lesson with a title, description and highlights."
If something goes wrong
Koobo shows "You need a Koobo host account". The account you signed in with is not a host account. Sign in with your host account, or become a host, then connect the AI app again.
The AI app says it is not allowed to edit your listings. This connection does not include edit access. Connect Koobo again in your AI app and check that the permission list includes "Create and edit your listings".
The AI app says another change is still being saved. Wait a few seconds and try again.
The AI app says there are too many requests to Koobo. Wait one minute and try again.
How to disconnect
In your host dashboard, go to Settings, open Connected apps, and click Disconnect next to the AI app. It stops working with your Koobo account straight away. Changes it already made stay on your listings.
Removing the Koobo connector in your AI app's settings only removes it from that AI app. Use Disconnect in Koobo to cancel its access.
