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.

Soar

Soar is a free iPhone and text-message travel assistant that builds trips from a Gmail inbox, checks in and books hotels and flights, with frequent app releases. Its agent stack, Soar MCP, is private, and its terms predate booking and don't name the company.

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

Soar

  1. Don't plan to call Soar from another agent. Its MCP server needs private onboarding by the team.
  2. Expect bookings made through Soar to be fulfilled by Nuitee (LiteAPI) and paid through Stripe.

Do agents find, use and choose your tools?

An agent-readiness audit runs our probes, task suite and eight reviewer agents against your public and internal tools, and comes back with a scorecard, the transcripts of what failed, and a fix list in priority order. From $2,500, re-run included. We never take payment to move a rank. We do help companies earn one.
