Claude Code How to use Google Hotels with Claude Code
You want Google Hotels inside Claude Code so it can find hotels that match a trip, compare hotel options, find a hotel within a budget, and build a hotel shortlist for a team trip — without you copy-pasting between tabs. Here is the whole setup, once.
Create your Google Hotels gateway
The gateway is the thing Claude Code connects to, and it is where you decide which Google Hotels tools an agent may use. You create it once and every client reuses it.
-
Create an Arcade account
Sign up and open the dashboard. The free tier is enough to follow this through.
-
Create an MCP Gateway and select your Google Hotels tools
In the dashboard, create a gateway and pick the Google Hotels tools you want to expose. The gateway is what your client connects to, and it is where tool access is decided.
-
Copy your gateway URL
Every client below needs it.
https://api.arcade.dev/mcp/<YOUR-GATEWAY-SLUG>
Connect the gateway to Claude Code
-
Add the gateway as a remote HTTP MCP server
claude mcp add arcade --transport http "<YOUR_ARCADE_GATEWAY_URL>"
-
Verify it was added
claude mcp get arcade claude mcp list
-

Try these hotel search prompts
Claude Code can now act on your Google Hotels account. Click a prompt to copy it.
Keep the shared API key out of the model and limit the agent to hotel searches. Pair it with Contextual Access policies so the agent can search hotels without gaining access to other tools or data.
