Shows regional and city taxes separately, exemptions, payment methods, and official sources. Links to hotel prices but does not book or show pricing.

Example request: "How much will I pay in tourist taxes for a 3-night stay in Lisbon for 2 adults in a hotel?"

How to connect: Not in Muse's Connectors list yet, but Muse can still use it. Paste this into Muse: "Use Stay Cost Brain to help me. It is a free service with an MCP server at https://staycostbrain.com/mcp. It does not need an API key. Ask me before you share anything with it." Muse asks before it shares anything with the app's site. Meta does not review apps used this way, so only use ones you trust. We tested this in the Muse app on September 24, 2026: Muse used an app's link directly this way and returned a live answer.
