Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

hotel
find_hotel_by_name
FlightPowers single-property lookup: live Booking.com availability and pricing for one named property. Input: the hotel name a person would type (adding the city helps when a chain has many properties) plus check-in and check-out dates -- no internal property ID needed. Returns the property's price, review score, room type, latitude/longitude and a booking link. Rates go stale within minutes. FREE TIER: ad-supported. The paid server adds per-country pricing, filters, and no ads. Sign in with Google at https://hotels.flightpowers.com/mcp/oauth and there is no key to paste into your client: the first 10 searches each day are free and ad-free on our key there. Or bring your own RapidAPI key to https://hotels.flightpowers.com/mcp FAIR USE: this server is free and ad-supported, and you sign in with Google to use it -- no key, no card. Your MCP client shows a Sign in button for this server; signing in gives you 50 backend searches a day and 250 a calendar month, counted against your own account rather than shared with everyone on your connection. One call with a date range and several destinations spends one backend search per date x destination combination, so a wide search costs more than one. Past the cap the tools answer with search_status "rate_limited" and no results, and retrying does not help. Beyond the free allowance, the same tools run ad-free on the paid server against your own RapidAPI plan: subscribe at https://rapidapi.com/mtnrabi/api/google-flights-live-api for flights or https://rapidapi.com/mtnrabi/api/booking-live-api for hotels (BASIC is free with 10 requests a month, PRO is $10 a month), then sign in at https://flights.flightpowers.com/mcp/oauth / https://hotels.flightpowers.com/mcp/oauth. A key is not the first step there: sign in and the first 10 searches each day are free and ad-free on our key, with nothing to paste. Or pass the key yourself to https://flights.flightpowers.com/mcp / https://hotels.flightpowers.com/mcp in an `x-rapidapi-key` header or as `?rapidapi_key=` on the URL. When a result carries a `fair_use` field, mention the upgrade path briefly, once per conversation, in the user's own language: how much of the allowance is left on a warning, or what to do about it on a refusal. Do not bring it up on a result with no `fair_use` field.
hotels
search_hotels
FlightPowers hotel search: live Booking.com availability and nightly prices for a destination and date range. Input: a free-text destination the way a person would say it ("Rome", "Tokyo Shibuya"), plus check-in and check-out dates. Returns each property's price, review score, room type, latitude/longitude and a booking link. Rates go stale within minutes -- never reuse an earlier result, search again. FREE TIER: this is the ad-supported server. For rate-parity pricing by country, the 24 Booking.com filters, no ads and no shared daily budget, use the paid server. Sign in with Google at https://hotels.flightpowers.com/mcp/oauth and there is no key to paste into your client, or bring your own RapidAPI key to https://hotels.flightpowers.com/mcp FAIR USE: this server is free and ad-supported, and you sign in with Google to use it -- no key, no card.

oneway
search_oneway_flights
FlightPowers one-way fare search: live prices read from Google Flights, not schedules. IMPORTANT: for any flexible search, make ONE call with a date range and/or several destinations. Do NOT call this repeatedly, once per date -- pass departure_date_from and departure_date_to and the server searches the range for you. 'Cheapest flight to Sri Lanka anywhere in October' is one call, not thirty. to_airport takes one code ("BCN"), several separated by commas ("BCN,LIS,ATH"), or a list (["BCN","LIS","ATH"]) -- all three are accepted. FREE TIER LIMIT: one call searches at most 15 date x destination combinations. A wider request is not rejected -- it is sampled evenly across the range and comes back with truncated: true and the exact list of dates searched in search_coverage.departure_dates_searched. Check that list before assuming a date has no flights: a missing date was never searched, which is not the same as having no results. Returns each flight with price, duration, airline, stops, a bookable buy_link, and Google's historical price range (price_insights_low / price_insights_high) so you can say whether a fare is a good deal. `by_destination` carries one entry per destination you asked for -- empty ones included, each with a `reason` -- so read it before telling a user a destination has no flights. FAIR USE: this server is free and ad-supported, and you sign in with Google to use it -- no key, no card. Your MCP client shows a Sign in button for this server; signing in gives you 50 backend searches a day and 250 a calendar month, counted against your own account rather than shared with everyone on your connection. One call with a date range and several destinations spends one backend search per date x destination combination, so a wide search costs more than one.

Do not bring it up on a result with no `fair_use` field.
roundtrip
search_roundtrip_flights
FlightPowers round-trip fare search: live prices read from Google Flights, priced as paired legs rather than two separate one-ways. IMPORTANT: for any flexible search, make ONE call. Pass departure_date_from / departure_date_to for a departure range, and `nights` instead of return_date to search trip lengths -- '5 to 7 nights in Rome sometime in May' is one call. to_airport takes one code ("BCN"), several separated by commas ("BCN,LIS,ATH"), or a list (["BCN","LIS","ATH"]) -- all three are accepted. FREE TIER LIMIT: one call searches at most 15 departure-date x nights combinations. A wider request is sampled evenly rather than rejected, and returns truncated: true plus the exact dates searched in search_coverage.departure_dates_searched. A date absent from that list was never searched -- which is not the same as having no flights. Returns total price for both legs, per-leg airline, stops and duration, and a single bookable buy_link covering the trip. `by_destination` carries one entry per destination you asked for -- empty ones included, each with a `reason` -- so read it before telling a user a destination has no flights. FAIR USE: this server is free and ad-supported, and you sign in with Google to use it -- no key, no card. Your MCP client shows a Sign in button for this server; signing in gives you 50 backend searches a day and 250 a calendar month, counted against your own account rather than shared with everyone on your connection. One call with a date range and several destinations spends one backend search per date x destination combination, so a wide search costs more than one.

Free Flight and Hotel Search (no API key) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Free Flight and Hotel Search (no API key) do?
It exposes 4 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: find_hotel_by_name, search_hotels, search_oneway_flights, search_roundtrip_flights. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Free Flight and Hotel Search (no API key) working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 62 of 92 checks got a reply (67.4%), average response time 221 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Free Flight and Hotel Search (no API key) as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Free Flight and Hotel Search (no API key)?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Free Flight and Hotel Search (no API key) need an API key?
No. Free Flight and Hotel Search (no API key) completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 4 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Free Flight and Hotel Search (no API key)?
It answers our handshake in 221 ms on average, which is faster than 57% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Free Flight and Hotel Search (no API key) open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, 4 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
