**Two live travel data sources behind one key** — real-time flight fares from Google Flights and hotel prices from Booking.com. No ads, no sponsored content. Every search is billed to *your own* RapidAPI subscription, and every response tells you exactly what it cost. --- ## ✈️ Flights — Google Flights | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | `search_oneway_flights` | One-way fares. A single date, or a **date range**, across one or many destinations | | `search_roundtrip_flights` | Round-trip fares, priced as **paired legs** — not two one-ways added together | **What you get that other flight tools don't return:** - **Google's own price insights** — `price_insights_low` / `price_insights_high` plus a `low` / `typical` / `high` verdict. So an agent can answer *"is $209 a good price?"* instead of just reporting $209. Most flight APIs do not expose this at all. - **One call, not thirty.** Pass a departure range and/or several destinations; the server fans out, merges, de-duplicates and re-sorts. *"Cheapest flight to Sri Lanka anywhere in October"* is **one** tool call. - **`search_coverage` on every response** — the exact dates and destinations searched, so a sampled scan is never mistaken for an exhaustive one. - Airline, stops, layover detail, duration, local departure/arrival times, and a bookable link. --- ## 🏨 Hotels — Booking.com | Tool | What it does | | --- | --- | | `search_hotels` | Live properties and nightly prices for a destination and date range | | `find_hotel_by_name` | One named property — no internal hotel ID needed, resolution is done for you | **What you get that other hotel tools don't return:** - **Price As Seen From** (`proxy_country`) — prices the same stay through a residential connection in another country. This is what makes **rate-parity and geo-pricing monitoring** possible, and it is the reason a revenue manager would build on this rather than a generic scraper. - **24 Booking.com filters** — free cancellation, meal plans, review score, star rating, facilities, pets, adults-only. Validated before the request, so a typo costs you nothing instead of silently returning unfiltered results. - **Name resolution built in.** `find_hotel_by_name` takes the name a person would type. Most hotel APIs make you resolve an internal property ID first. - Price, review score and count, room type, location, image and a booking link. --- ## One key covers both Subscribe to either API — or both — with the same RapidAPI key. The server exposes all four tools and your subscription decides what answers. A flights-only subscriber calling a hotel tool gets a clear *"subscribe to the Booking Live API"* message, not an empty list. **→ Get a key (free tier available): https://rapidapi.com/mtnrabi** Supply it as an `x-rapidapi-key` header, as `?rapidapi_key=` on the server URL, or in your client's API-key field. Smithery passes it through if you paste it into the config above. --- ## You always know what a search cost Every response carries `api_usage`, read from RapidAPI's own rate-limit headers: | Field | Meaning | | --- | --- | | `requests_used_by_this_call` | Billed requests this single call consumed | | `plan_requests_remaining` | What is left on your plan right now | | `plan_requests_limit` | Your plan's ceiling | Each date × destination combination is one billed request. Cap it per call with `max_searches` when you want a wide search to stay cheap. --- ## Sample response ```json { "results": [ { "price": "$71", "airline": "Wizz Air", "stops": 0, "duration": "1 hr 25 min", "departure_description": "10:15 AM on Wed, Oct 15", "price_insights_low": 40, "price_insights_high": 110, "price_range_in_relation_to_other_periods": "typical", "buy_link": "https://www.google.com/travel/flights?..." } ], "search_coverage": { "departure_dates_searched": ["2026-10-15"], "destinations_searched": ["LCA"] }, "api_usage": { "requests_used_by_this_call": 1, "plan_requests_remaining": 49717 } } ``` --- ## Ready-made prompts Pick these directly in Claude or Cursor: | Prompt | Question it answers | | --- | --- | | `cheapest_dates` | Scan a month for the lowest fare, judged against the price band | | `compare_destinations` | Price several cities from one origin, ranked | | `plan_trip` | Round trip across flexible trip lengths, within a budget | | `is_this_fare_good` | Book now or wait, on a specific route and date | --- ## Safe by construction All four tools are annotated **read-only**. They search and read; they cannot book, hold, pay for or cancel anything. ## Want to try flights before getting a key? **→ [mrabi/free-google-flights-mcp](https://smithery.ai/servers/mrabi/free-google-flights-mcp)** — flight search with no key and no signup, funded by a single clearly-labeled sponsored card.
