Fastest path to a key
- Consumer agent path (fastest): add Claude connector 'Booking.com' (https://demandapi-mcp.booking.com/v1/mcp/8132308) -> search accommodations with NO authentication -> booking completes on booking.com via link.
- Talk to salesDeveloper path: become a Managed Affiliate Partner (apply, sign contract).
- Talk to salesAccount Manager enables Partner Centre access -> generate Demand API key + X-Affiliate-Id.
- Talk to salesCall sandbox https://demandapi-sandbox.booking.com/3.2 (same credentials as prod) or partner MCP https://demandapi-mcp.booking.com/v1/sp/mcp/ with x-booking-affiliate-id + x-booking-authorization headers.
- Working API key
Biggest gap
Managed Affiliate contract + Account Manager gate; partner terms reportedly restrict AI use without written approval; no order creation tool.
Worth copying
Same MCP backend serves an auth-free consumer connector and a partner-keyed server; tools/list is declared the source of truth per account.

Biggest gains
- +12 Remote MCP server for the product. Host a remote MCP server (e.g. mcp.<domain>/mcp, Streamable HTTP) for your core actions.
- +8 Machine-readable API spec. Publish an OpenAPI spec at a stable URL like /openapi.json and link it from llms.txt.
- +6 Agents can self-register OAuth clients. Support dynamic client registration (RFC 7591) or client ID metadata documents so MCP clients connect in one click.
