Most agents pick the right tool from your prompt, so you never name it. One tool call counts as one request, the same as a REST request.
holidaycheck_hotels_search
Find hotels by query (1–200 characters after trimming), with page default 1 and up to 10 matches per page. available_count and has_more describe the available result set, not a global total. Pass returned hotel_id directly to details or reviews. No dates, prices, or destination search.
holidaycheck_hotel_details
Read hotel details by hotel_id UUID: canonical URL, address, location, contact, descriptions, grouped amenities, and check-in/out wording. Star classification is separate from native six-point guest ratings. No prices or photo gallery. Each successful call costs one credit.
holidaycheck_hotel_url_to_id
Extract a hotel UUID from a supported HolidayCheck hotel or review-listing URL. Does not verify hotel existence.

Full parameters and response shapes live in the MCP docs. For the same data over REST, see the HolidayCheck API hub.
