RateGain Travel Technologies Limited announced the introduction of the industry’s first Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for its Booking Engine, available within Claude and other AI assistants.
This breakthrough further strengthens RateGain’s position as an AI-first company by expanding the AI capabilities of UNO, its unified platform designed to simplify hotel commerce and power every step of the guest journey. According to KPMG, 66% of consumers now use AI tools in their daily lives, highlighting the urgency for hotels to stay aligned with this shift. The MCP integration for RateGain’s Booking Engine enables hoteliers and travel providers to deliver the seamless conversational booking experiences to their guests, a first for the hospitality sector.
For customers, this innovation enables faster adoption of conversational AI without heavy investment or complex integrations. Guests can simply search, compare, and book rooms using natural language with AI assistants and chatbots, helping hotels improve conversion, enhance guest experience, and stay competitive.
Unlike approaches that focus only on visibility in AI-driven searches, RateGain’s solution makes hotels both AI-discoverable and AI-bookable, with real-time rates, availability, and amenities accessible directly from the booking engine. This ensures properties stay front and center as travellers increasingly turn to AI-powered planning.
Commenting on the announcement, Ashish Sikka, Business Head, UNO Platforms, RateGain, said, “At RateGain, our mission is to help the world travel more by constantly reimagining how technology can simplify the journey. As travel discovery moves from clicks to conversations, the MCP integration for our Booking Engine is another step in UNO’s AI roadmap, empowering our customers to make their booking channels conversational and ensuring they are not just visible but bookable across every channel where guests explore and plan.”
Combined with UNO’s expanding suite of AI-powered solutions, this milestone underscores RateGain’s mission to deliver the future of travel technology, today.
