Hosted MCP's documented setup puts the API key in the URL query string and exposes 111 generated tools.\n\n**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.\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### Soar\n\n1. Don't plan to call Soar from another agent. Its MCP server needs private onboarding by the team.\n2. Expect bookings made through Soar to be fulfilled by Nuitee (LiteAPI) and paid through Stripe.\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 Soar?\n\nLiteAPI (Nuitee Connect) scores 53.1 (D) on agent readiness against Soar's 12.6 (F), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.
