```

## Quick Start

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

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

  <Step title="Create a file">
    Create a new file `xai_airbnb.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="xai/grok-2-latest",
        tools=MCP("npx -y @openbnb/mcp-server-airbnb --ignore-robots-txt")
    )

    search_agent.start("MUST USE airbnb_search Tool to Search. Search for Apartments in Paris for 2 nights. 04/28 - 04/30 for 2 adults. All Your Preference")
    ```
  </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[llm]"
    ```
  </Step>

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

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

<Note>
  **Requirements**

  * Python 3.10 or higher
  * Node.js installed on your system
  * XAI API key (for the Grok model)
