How It Works

This MCP server uses Playwright to automate a Chromium browser session on the IHG website. It:

1. Maintains a persistent browser session across tool calls
2. Handles login state so you only need to authenticate once
3. Navigates the IHG website to perform searches, bookings, and account management
4. Returns structured JSON data for all operations
