```

## Quick Start

<Steps>
  <Step title="Set API Key">
    Set your OpenAI API key as an environment variable in your terminal:

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
    export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a file">
    Create a new file `airbnb_search.py` with the following code:

    ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
    from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP

    search_agent = Agent(
        instructions="""You help book apartments on Airbnb.""",
        llm="gpt-4o-mini",
        tools=MCP("npx -y @openbnb/mcp-server-airbnb --ignore-robots-txt")
    )

    search_agent.start("I want to book an apartment in Paris for 2 nights. 03/28 - 03/30 for 2 adults")
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install Dependencies">
    Make sure you have Node.js installed, as the MCP server requires it:

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
    pip install praisonaiagents
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the Agent">
    Execute your script:

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
    python airbnb_search.py
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  **Requirements**

  * Python 3.10 or higher
  * Node.js installed on your system
  * OpenAI API key (for the agent's LLM)
</Note>

## Gradio UI

```python theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"vitesse-dark"}}
from praisonaiagents import Agent, MCP
import gradio as gr

def search_airbnb(query):
    agent = Agent(
        instructions="You help book apartments on Airbnb.",
        llm="gpt-4o-mini",
        tools=MCP("npx -y @openbnb/mcp-server-airbnb --ignore-robots-txt")
    )
    result = agent.start(query)
    return f"## Airbnb Search Results\n\n{result}"

demo = gr.Interface(
    fn=search_airbnb,
    inputs=gr.Textbox(placeholder="I want to book an apartment in Paris for 2 nights..."),
    outputs=gr.Markdown(),
    title="Airbnb Booking Assistant",
    description="Enter your booking requirements below:"
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    demo.launch()
```
