## What it does

This integration exposes three main tools: `search_hotels`, `get_hotel_details`, and `get_hotel_reviews`. An assistant can query lodging options across any region, applying constraints on nightly rates, star categories, and free cancellation policies. It also handles vacation rental queries.

Once a property is located, its `property_token` unlocks comparative pricing across platforms like Expedia or Booking.com. The server also retrieves arrival schedules, surrounding points of interest, and full guest evaluations categorized by parameters like cleanliness or staff service.

The server requires Node. Execution will fail immediately without a valid `SERPAPI_API_KEY` defined in the environment.

## Requirements
- Needs: Node.js (commands run via npx)
- Environment variables: `SERPAPI_API_KEY` — keys and tokens: ask the human for the values, never commit them or put them in shared files.
