Verdicts

FlightClaw

Hosted MCP at mcp.flightclaw.com/mcp with OAuth 2.1, PKCE and dynamic client registration, no API keys. Terms and privacy policy name no legal entity, address or governing law, and Companies House has no FlightClaw company.

LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)

Sandbox key at sign-up, same base URL as production, no card. Hosted MCP's documented setup puts the API key in the URL query string and exposes 111 generated tools.

Before you call either

FlightClaw

  1. Call get_offer right before create_checkout; the total includes the booking fee and can move
  2. Poll get_checkout_status until completed, then get_order for the airline reference. A sent link isn't a booking
  3. Never ask for card numbers in chat. Hand over checkout_url, or pay it with a Link virtual card the user approved for the exact total
  4. Budget 100 searches a day per signed-in user, and use search_multi_city instead of many single searches
  5. Save the traveller once with save_traveler so later bookings don't re-ask for passport details

LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)

  1. Use /hotels/rates with a short hotelIds list from /data/hotels; a broad rates call is slow and large
  2. Always prebook before book and read the cancellation policy in the prebook response, since refundability differs per rate
  3. Send a unique clientReference on book; a repeat returns error 4005 instead of a second booking
  4. Set margin explicitly on every rates call. Zero means net rates with no commission to you
  5. Send the key to the MCP in an X-Api-Key header rather than ?apiKey= where the client allows it
