## 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.
