Plan your stay with an AI assistant
Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants can plan a stay at Casa Kimball for you. They can read about the house, check the calendar, price a stay exactly, and ask us to hold dates in your name. You stay in charge: nothing is held for more than two hours, and nothing is charged, until you confirm by email.
Connect your assistant
Casa Kimball has an MCP server, the standard way AI assistants connect to outside services. It's free and needs no account, sign-in or key. Its address is:
https://www.casakimball.com/mcp
- Claude: add a custom connector with that address in Claude's connector settings, or pick Casa Kimball from the connectors directory once it's listed there.
- Other assistants and apps that support MCP connectors: add the same address.
- Assistants that browse the web can also read our rates and use the booking page directly.
What your assistant can do
- Look up the house: the rooms, the chef and meals, activities, getting here, the spa, weddings and events, and common questions, plus nightly rates by season and our payment and cancellation terms.
- Find open dates, or check exact dates against the calendar and the season's minimum stay.
- Price a stay with every line itemized, from the same engine as our booking page, so the numbers match.
- Hold dates for you, as described below.
- Pass a message to our team, about an event, a longer stay, a larger group, or anything else. We reply to you by email.
How a hold works
- When you're ready, your assistant asks us to hold the dates in your name, with your email address.
- We set the dates aside for two hours and email you a link.
- Open it, review your stay and our payment and cancellation terms, and accept. We then hold the dates for 72 hours and send you the full invoice, and Monica will be in touch to confirm your stay together.
- Didn't ask for it, or changed your mind? Ignore the email. The dates reopen on their own.
Nothing is charged at any point in this. Payment is by wire transfer, once we've confirmed your stay together. Each email address can have one hold waiting for confirmation at a time.
What we receive
Only what your assistant sends with a request: your name, email address, phone number if you gave one, the dates and party for your stay, and your message. We never see your conversation with the assistant. Our privacy policy explains what we keep and how to have it deleted.
