Hostme API
Hostme publishes an OpenAPI 3 Vendor API with Swagger at api.hostmeapp.com and a GitHub guide: sign up for the sandbox, install the Custom App and exchange its connection id for an OAuth client credentials token. Coverage is thin: reservations, availability and guestbook only.
Frequently asked questions
Hostme scores B on Supergood's API Report Card. Hostme publishes an OpenAPI 3 Vendor API with Swagger at api.hostmeapp.com and a GitHub guide: sign up for the sandbox, install the Custom App and exchange its connection id for an OAuth client credentials token. Coverage is thin: reservations, availability and guestbook only.
Hostme has a workable official integration path. Most engineering teams can build against it directly. Solid API with minor gaps
Hostme is a front-of-house platform for restaurants covering online reservations, a text-notified waitlist with predictive wait times, table management and server rotation, a guestbook CRM, ticketed events, online ordering and SMS, email and WhatsApp marketing campaigns.
Restaurants & Food Service. Independent restaurants, cafes and small hospitality groups in the US, UK and internationally. Hosts seat walk-ins and reservations from one screen, text guests when tables are ready, pace covers and rotate servers fairly.
Hostme states that 4,000 restaurants trust it with their waitlist; LinkedIn lists seven employees and roughly $3 million raised; the iOS app has 53 ratings at 4.4 and the Android app 72 ratings at 4.1, and only a handful of Capterra and Trustpilot reviews exist.
Reservations and waitlist parties with times, sizes, tables and status; guest profiles with names, phones, emails, allergies, VIP flags, visit history and notes; deposits and cancellation fees via Stripe; event tickets and online orders; campaign message logs.
Founded around 2014. Services run on Azure App Service hosts (hostme-services-qa.azurewebsites.net for QA, service.hostmeapp.com and api.hostmeapp.com in production) with an OAuth 2.0 token endpoint and an OpenAPI 3.0.4 spec titled Hostme Vendor API v1.
Syncing slows to a near halt on busy weekends and guests often do not receive confirmation texts or notifications. Only about half of guests arrive because confirmations are not reaching them unless sent manually by email. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include OpenTable, Yelp Guest Manager, Eat App, Waitlist Me, Tablein. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Supergood's grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? Supergood checks six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and rolls them into a letter grade. Supergood re-verifies grades, and they only move on evidence.
Not that we could find. There is no official Hostme MCP server in any public registry, and no maintained community server we're aware of. We re-verify this periodically — report an inaccuracy below if we missed one.
Not natively. Hostme doesn't publish an MCP server, so MCP clients like Claude, Cursor, and Codex have nothing to connect to out of the box. If that changes, this page will reflect it.
