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**Skyscanner Travel APIs.** Thirteen documented search APIs cover flights, hotels and car hire behind one `x-api-key` header, with default rate limits published per endpoint and no usage fee. Access needs an approved application, an audience above 100,000 monthly users and a commercial agreement, and the usage guidelines bar live-price calls made without a user action. Booking happens on supplier sites.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Skyscanner Travel APIs\n\n1. Send the key in the `x-api-key` header on every call to `https://partners.api.skyscanner.net`. CORS is not supported, so call from a server\n2. Create a live search only when a user has given origin, destination and exact dates. Use the indicative price endpoints for open-ended questions\n3. Poll `/search/poll/{sessionToken}` until `status` is `RESULT_STATUS_COMPLETE`, and replace earlier results only when `action` is `RESULT_ACTION_REPLACED`\n4. Start a new session when a poll returns 400. Flight session tokens last about an hour and hotel sessions at most 15 minutes\n5. Pass each `deepLink` to the traveller unchanged, since altered encoding breaks Impact tracking, and never put personal data in `subid2`\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Kiwi.com MCP Server or Skyscanner Travel APIs?\n\nKiwi.com MCP Server scores 51.9 (D) on agent readiness against Skyscanner Travel APIs's 45.6 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
