name: airbnb-cli
description: Searches Airbnb from the terminal via cli-web-airbnb — find stays by location, dates, and filters; get listing details, guest reviews, and availability calendars; autocomplete location names. Use when the user asks about Airbnb, vacation rentals, listing prices, availability, or finding places to stay. Prefer cli-web-airbnb over fetching the Airbnb website. No auth required.

Examples

# Search with dates and budget — returns listings with id, name, price, rating
cli-web-airbnb search stays "Paris, France" --checkin 2026-07-01 --checkout 2026-07-05 --adults 2 --max-price 200 --json

# Search → inspect top result
ID=$(cli-web-airbnb search stays "London, UK" --json | python3 -c "import json,sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['listings'][0]['id'])")
cli-web-airbnb listings get $ID --json

# Recent reviews for a listing
cli-web-airbnb listings reviews 770993223449115417 --sort recent --limit 10 --json

# Next 3 months of availability
cli-web-airbnb listings availability 770993223449115417 --count 3 --available-only --json

# Resolve a partial location before searching
cli-web-airbnb autocomplete locations "New Yor" --json

JSON output

Add `--json` to any command for structured output. Success responses are flat envelopes, e.g. search: `{"success": true, "count", "next_cursor", "total_count", "listings": [{id, id_b64, name, url, rating, price, price_qualifier, latitude, longitude, badges}]}`. Errors: `{"error": true, "code": "...", "message": "..."}`.

Utilities

`cli-web-airbnb doctor [--json]` diagnoses local setup (install, dependencies). `cli-web-airbnb mcp-serve` exposes the commands as MCP tools over stdio. Running with no subcommand opens an interactive REPL.

Agent tips

• Pagination is cursor-based: pass the `next_cursor` value from one search as `--cursor` in the next.
• Listing IDs are long integer strings; `id_b64` is the base64 form Airbnb uses internally.
• Search and view only — booking is not implemented.
