Verified stays with receipts: live totals from Booking.com, Vrbo and Expedia, checked on the map.

What it does

Stay Otter is an MCP server, a connector that lets an AI assistant use it as a tool. It is hosted: an assistant connects to it over the internet, nothing to install.

From the publisher's description, Electra Index matched it to one capability: travel booking. That makes it a candidate for tasks such as book travel.

Facts come from the Official MCP Registry, as declared by the publisher. Capabilities are matched automatically (low confidence) and are not a test of the tool.

How we test: we open an MCP session and ask for the tool list, as an AI assistant would. We never run a tool and never send a key. Checked every few days. Method
