Novasol
by Novasol
Search European holiday homes from an AI agent. One tool, no booking, no payment. Anthropic lists the endpoint authless, but it refuses every anonymous request, so we could not confirm that ourselves.
Verified connector
Listed by Anthropic as a partner connector in its Connectors Directory.
Connection checked by Agentman on .
Anthropic states this reflects the level of review a connector received, not a security audit.

Tool names from Anthropic's directory listing. This server requires sign-in, so we could not read tool descriptions or parameter schemas.
Limits
- Nothing books, pays or holds a property. Novasol's listing excludes "any booking or payment action" in its own words. Booking, deposits, instalments, cancellations and date changes all happen on Novasol's website through checkout and its MyBooking area. An agent that presents a search result as a reservation is over-reading it.
- We read no tool schema, so the parameter list on this page is prose, not a contract. The endpoint refused every anonymous request, so we never saw
search-properties'inputSchema. Which of destination, dates, occupancy, budget, bedrooms, property type and amenities are named parameters — and what formats they take — is undocumented anywhere we could reach. - We read no safety annotations, so the read-only claim is attributed, not observed. The tool name and Novasol's own exclusion of booking both point one way, and we state it as Novasol's claim. We did not read
readOnlyHintordestructiveHintfrom the server, so this is not our observation of the schema. - The directory's authless flag is unconfirmed rather than contradicted. Anthropic records
is_authlesstrue andauth_postureno_auth; the endpoint returned HTTP 403 to every anonymous request we made. The refusal is route-aware and reaches the application —robots.txtreturns 200, invented paths return 404, and malformed JSON returns a 400 parse error — so it is not a bot wall. But it carries noWWW-Authenticateheader and does not change when credentials are supplied, so it is not an auth challenge either. We can say the endpoint declined us; we cannot say why. - No RFC 9728 descriptor exists to consult. The bare
.well-known/oauth-protected-resourcepath returns the same blanket 403 as the host root, and every path beneath it returns a router 404. So no scope names read or write access, no consent screen can display one, and no token could be audited for one afterwards. - The nominated documentation URL is a playground, not a document. It carries roughly eight words, is generated by Alpic rather than written by Novasol, and yields no prerequisites, no troubleshooting, no tool reference and no limits.
mcp.novasol.compublishes nollms.txtand no.well-known/mcp.json, and itsrobots.txtis a blanketDisallow: /. - The two published property counts disagree by roughly 8,000 homes. Novasol says 50,000; Awaze says over 42,000 for the same brand, both retrieved 2026-09-09. Neither document acknowledges the other and we found no reconciliation. The 18-country figure is consistent across Novasol's site and Anthropic's listing.
- Coverage is self-catering rentals in 18 European countries and nothing else. Novasol's listing rules out hotels, flights, car hire, package holidays, short-term urban city apartments and aggregate price statistics. A destination outside those 18 countries is out of scope, not merely unavailable.
- Data freshness is undefined. Anthropic's listing describes "real time availability and pricing", but no document states a refresh interval, cache window or staleness bound. Prices and availability should be confirmed at Novasol's checkout before being relied on.
- Pet rules are per property and narrower than most travellers expect. Novasol's FAQ states only dogs are permitted, with capacity shown per property. Other animals are not covered.
- Support routes to the platform, not the travel brand. Anthropic's listing gives
support@alpic.aias the support contact, so connector problems go to Alpic while booking problems go to Novasol's customer services. Nothing in the listing explains that split to a user. - No rate limit, quota or fair-use policy is published for this connector by Novasol, by Alpic in the listing, or by Anthropic. Absence of a published limit is not absence of a limit.
Frequently asked questions
No. Novasol's own listing description states the connector covers holiday rental search only and excludes any booking or payment action. Novasol's customer FAQ confirms where booking actually happens: payment is taken at checkout by card or Apple Pay, and cancellations and date changes run through its MyBooking account area or customer services. The connector finds properties; you transact on Novasol's own site.
One, named search-properties. That name comes from Anthropic's directory listing rather than from a handshake we completed, because the endpoint refused every anonymous request we made on 9 September 2026. Anthropic's entry also records zero prompt names for this server. No vendor document we found prints a machine-readable tool name, so there is no second list to check the name against.
Unconfirmed. Anthropic's directory records the server as authless with an auth posture of no_auth, and the connector searches a public rental catalogue, so no sign-in is expected. We could not verify that, because the endpoint answered every anonymous request with HTTP 403 and never issued an authentication challenge. Treat the posture as Anthropic's metadata rather than our observation.
Novasol's own website claims 50,000 vacation homes across 18 European countries, retrieved 9 September 2026. Its parent company Awaze publishes a lower figure for the same brand on the same date, describing over 42,000 European homes. Anthropic's listing repeats the 18-country figure. We found no document reconciling the two property counts, so both are quoted with their sources.
Awaze. Novasol's customer FAQ refers to the Awaze group, its privacy policy is served under Awaze branding, and Awaze's own site lists Novasol among its brands alongside cottages.com, Hoseasons, James Villas and Ardennes Etapes. Awaze describes itself as Europe's largest provider of holiday rentals with over 105,000 properties across those brands, retrieved 9 September 2026.
No. The URL Anthropic's directory publishes for this connector opens an interactive try-it playground, not a written reference. Its page title is MCP Server Playground and its metadata names Alpic, the hosting platform, as author and generator rather than Novasol. It carries no prerequisites, no tool reference, no troubleshooting and no limits, so it supplied nothing to this page.
A destination, dates, guest count, budget and must-have features. Novasol's listing description names those five inputs and says results can be refined mid-conversation by changing dates, shifting destination, tightening budget or adding amenities. It states results carry names, locations, prices, review scores, bedroom counts and pet policies. We could not read the tool's parameter schema to confirm which of those are real filters.
Only dogs, according to Novasol's customer FAQ retrieved 9 September 2026. The site indicates capacity with a paw symbol and a number on each property, where zero means no pets are accepted. Novasol's listing description says the connector surfaces pet policies in its results, so this is a property-level attribute rather than one blanket rule across the catalogue.
