Noida, September 2, 2025 – RateGain Travel Technologies Limited (NSE: RATEGAIN), a leading global provider of AI-powered technology solutions for the hospitality and travel industry, has announced a groundbreaking advancement with the introduction of the industry’s first Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration for its Booking Engine. This innovative capability is now accessible through popular AI assistants such as Claude, marking a significant leap towards truly conversational hotel booking experiences.
The integration is designed to empower hoteliers to offer guests seamless, natural language interactions for searching, comparing, and booking rooms. This move is a strategic expansion of the AI capabilities within UNO, RateGain’s unified platform dedicated to streamlining hotel commerce and optimizing every stage of the guest journey.
According to a report by KPMG, a substantial 66% of consumers now engage with AI tools daily, underscoring the critical need for hotels to align with evolving traveler behaviors and preferences.

Ashish Sikka, Business Head, UNO Platforms, RateGain, commented on the launch, stating, “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.”
