Additional setup details required — see the specific gaps below.

Install / connect
Publisher instructions
Publisher offers Claude Desktop `.mcpb` bundle installation: download signed/released MCPB from the project Releases and open it in Claude Desktop. Alternatively configure `npx -y @openbnb/mcp-server-airbnb` in MCP client; hosted openbnb.ai is a separate service.
Download `.mcpb` bundle from the openbnb project Releases and open/install in Claude Desktop Extensions; alternatively register `npx -y @openbnb/mcp-server-airbnb`.
Configure / authenticate
Publisher instructions
Airbnb listing MCPB extension can be installed in Claude Desktop; node/npx manual alternative exists. Hosted openbnb.ai is a separate product and should not be conflated.
Check connection
Suggested check
Use public listing read-only search without booking.
Remove / uninstall / revoke
Suggested check
Claude Desktop Extensions → uninstall Airbnb `.mcpb` bundle; or remove the manually configured npx server entry. Hosted openbnb.ai connection requires disconnecting its remote connector.
Distinguish client registration removal from software uninstall, persistent data deletion and provider OAuth/API-key revocation.
