## 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.

**Lola.** Free membership and published paid-plan commitments. External agent integration was not verified.

## 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

### Lola

1. Have the traveller confirm booking details, charges and cancellation terms.
2. Check whether a membership benefit is live before relying on it.
