Hosted MCP's documented setup puts the API key in the URL query string and exposes 111 generated tools.\n\n**Odessia.** Odessia is a free travel concierge that books as a registered travel agent, watches prices and award seats, and keeps a public status page with a clean record since July. No outside agent can call it, standing authorisations let it pay without asking each time, and no changelog was found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)\n\n1. Use `/hotels/rates` with a short `hotelIds` list from `/data/hotels`; a broad rates call is slow and large\n2. Always prebook before book and read the cancellation policy in the prebook response, since refundability differs per rate\n3. Send a unique `clientReference` on book; a repeat returns error 4005 instead of a second booking\n4. Set `margin` explicitly on every rates call. Zero means net rates with no commission to you\n5. Send the key to the MCP in an `X-Api-Key` header rather than `?apiKey=` where the client allows it\n\n### Odessia\n\n1. Don't plan to call Odessia from another agent. It answers only its signed-in owner on the web, by message or by email.\n2. Check whether the owner has set a standing authorisation before assuming a booking will wait for approval.\n\n## Tutorials\n\n- [Build a hotel shortlist with LiteAPI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/tutorials/liteapi/), for LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect) or Odessia?\n\nLiteAPI (Nuitee Connect) scores 53.1 (D) on agent readiness against Odessia's 22.2 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
