Partner application and site review before production, no self-serve keys.\n\n**Kiwi.com MCP Server.** A keyless flight search with one typed, read-only tool, 47 filters and a booking link on every itinerary. It can't book, hold, change or cancel, and it has no published rate limits, changelog, terms or version. Each search returns 15 itineraries with no way to ask for fewer.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Expedia Group Rapid API\n\n1. Build the SHA-512 signature from key, secret and the current epoch seconds in that order, per request\n2. Send `Customer-Ip` and the session headers the docs ask for, since fraud checks use them\n3. Point everything at test.ean.com until the site review is through; the paths match api.ean.com\n4. Follow the `links` in each response rather than building URLs; price check and book links carry tokens\n5. Read the `Rate-Limit-Minute-Remaining` and `Rate-Limit-Day-Remaining` headers, since the docs publish no ceilings\n\n### Kiwi.com MCP Server\n\n1. POST to `https://mcp.kiwi.com` itself. `/mcp` returns 404, and responses arrive as `text/event-stream` even for a single reply\n2. Send dates as dd/mm/yyyy and set `currency`, which defaults to EUR\n3. Check the `error` field of every result. A rejected input returns `resultsCount` 0 with `isError` false\n4. Narrow with `price_to`, `max_sector_stopovers` and `sort`. There is no limit parameter and each search returns 15 itineraries\n5. Give the user `bookingUrl` to book. Don't call `feedback-to-devs` with user data, because it sends free text to Kiwi.com\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Expedia Group Rapid API or Kiwi.com MCP Server?\n\nKiwi.com MCP Server scores 51.9 (D) on agent readiness against Expedia Group Rapid API's 42.8 (E), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
