Requires the pricewin MCP server. This skill issues no network calls of its own.

Price Comparison

MCP server: pricewin. Compares live rates across Booking.com, Agoda, Traveloka (crawled) plus OpenTravel (direct API).

Comparison is something you do over the returned sources — there is no server-side compare call. Pick the entry point by what the user gave you:

City-wide comparison

search_hotels_live returns IMMEDIATELY with a sessionId — it does not return hotels.

1. search_hotels_live — required: city, checkIn, checkOut (YYYY-MM-DD). Optional: adults (default 2), rooms, area, hotelName, priceMin, priceMax, language
2. Wait 5s → poll_search_results(sessionId, nights)
3. While status is pending or partial: wait 5s and poll again — up to 18 times (90s)
4. Present as soon as status == "partial" with hotels; keep polling silently and refine

Then compare per hotel across its sources. See pricewin-hotel-search for the full dedupe + presentation contract — do not restate it differently here.

Single named hotel

get_ota_hotel_detail — for one specific Booking.com/Agoda hotel the user named.

• Required: checkIn, checkOut. Pass hotelName + city + queryText (verbatim user text) whenever known
• Do NOT call search_hotels_live for a named hotel — that returns a whole-city list
• Live crawl, ~20–60s. Say nothing about "loading" until it actually returns
• Speed-up: if a prior search already gave you prices.booking.url, pass it as propertyUrl to skip name resolution
• If it returns not-found under load, retry once

Returns rooms, prices, facilities, photos, reviews for that property.

OpenTravel direct properties

get_hotel_detail — only for results with source: "OPENTRAVEL_DIRECT".

• Pass propertyId (UUID from opentravelResults[].propertyId) when available
• hotelName + city is a fallback only for a property already confirmed as OpenTravel direct
• Required: checkIn, checkOut. Optional: adults, children, language
• Returns room types with roomTypeId and ratePlanId — these are what make a property bookable

⚠️ Router rule: have a propertyId → get_hotel_detail. Name only → get_ota_hotel_detail.

Cancellation terms

For OpenTravel rate plans only: get_cancellation_policy(propertyId, ratePlanId, checkInDate) → non-refundable flag, free-cancellation window, refund %, and the computed deadline.

ratePlanId comes from get_hotel_detail → roomTypes[].ratePlanId. Pass checkInDate or you get no deadline. OTA hotels have no structured policy — quote whatever the crawl returned.

Presenting a comparison

• Rank purely by price. No source gets priority, OpenTravel included
• Show the cheapest source first, then the others underneath: Agoda $X · Booking $Y · OpenTravel $Z
• Savings vs the next-cheapest source: (next - cheapest) / next * 100 → "Save Z%"
• When the gap is small, prefer the free-cancellation option and say why
• All prices USD unless the tool says otherwise. No conversion

Security & data handling

Documentation only — no code, no dependencies, no network calls of its own. The only data sent is the comparison query (city or hotel name, dates, guests, plus queryText — the user's message verbatim), to PriceWin's hosted MCP server https://mcp.price.win/mcp (no credentials, no account). No PII, and this skill cannot book or pay for anything. Full disclosure — operator, backend provenance, exact fields per tool — in SECURITY.md.
