• Perfect for initial exploration

Strategy 2: Complete Collection (search_accommodations_complete)

• Automatically follows all pagination links
• Collects up to 200 total results across multiple pages
• Equivalent to browsing all pages on mountvacation.com
• Configurable limits for performance

Strategy 3: Progressive Loading (load_more_accommodations)

• Load additional batches on demand
• User-controlled pagination
• Optimal for interactive applications

Example Usage

search_accommodations({
  location: "Chamonix",
  arrival_date: "2026-02-15",
  departure_date: "2026-02-22",
  persons_ages: "30,28"
