Technology

Built in the open,
engineered for live data.

FareEagle is built on four interconnected systems — an AI planner, a live fare comparison engine, an MCP server for AI agents, and a real-time fraud detection layer — running on modern infrastructure we operate ourselves.

Fraud Detection

Multi-signal screening on every booking, before payment authorisation.

Aira is a travel assistant, not a chatbot.

The difference matters. Chatbots route you to pre-written answers; Aira reasons over live data and gives you plans grounded on what's actually bookable today.

Under the hood, Aira runs on Anthropic's Claude model family — one of the most capable reasoning systems available. We chose Claude specifically because it follows complex travel constraints without hallucinating.

When you ask Aira "where can I go for ₹15,000 in May?" or "plan a 4-day trip from Delhi that covers one hill station and one beach", it doesn't reply with a generic list. It queries FareEagle's real inventory — live fares, available hotels in the right budget bands, distances between cities, how flights and trains connect — and builds a trip that actually works.

Aira is integrated into every search flow on FareEagle. Ask it on the homepage, ask it during flight results, ask it from a destination page. It carries context and adapts its plan as you refine what you want.

What Aira won't do

Aira doesn't book for you automatically. It plans; you book. We think the final commit-to-purchase step should always be explicitly yours — especially when money and travel dates are involved.

An MCP server for
agent-driven travel booking.

FareEagle runs one of India's first production MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers for travel. That means AI agents — Claude Desktop, Cowork, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible client — can search and compare FareEagle's inventory natively, without scraping.

MCP is the emerging standard for how AI agents talk to real services. Instead of building one-off integrations with every AI client, we publish a single MCP endpoint — and every compatible agent can use it.

Our MCP server exposes structured tools for flight search, route comparison, airport metadata, airline information, and booking status lookups. When you use Claude Desktop to plan a trip, Claude can call these tools directly — no copy-paste, no scraping, no fragile integration.

We ship this as open infrastructure. Developers and AI-agent builders can point their own agents at the same endpoint and build higher-level travel experiences on top.

One search, one live response.

A simplified example of what an AI agent sees when it queries the MCP server for flights. Real responses include more fields; this is lightly edited for readability.

No cached prices.
Every search is live.

Most travel aggregators cache fares and show you yesterday's prices. We query suppliers in real-time on every search — so the price you see is the price actually available right now.

When you search a route on FareEagle, we dispatch the query to every relevant supplier in parallel — over 100 airlines for flights, major bus operators, and 500K+ hotel properties. Results stream back as they arrive and are normalised into a single comparable list.

  • Parallel requests to every supplier on every search — no sequential waits
  • Partial results render within 1 second while the rest continue to load
  • Prices shown include markup, taxes, and booking fees — no surprise at checkout
  • If a supplier goes down, the search continues with the remaining ones
  • Cancellation and refund terms are fetched inline — not after you pay

Every booking is screened
before payment is authorised.

FareEagle runs an in-house fraud detection system that inspects every checkout. It blends multiple signals into a single risk score — and anything above a threshold is held for human review before any money moves.

Fraud in travel is a specific problem: stolen cards, mule bookings, velocity attacks. We built our detection to catch the patterns real attackers use, without adding friction for legitimate travellers.

Each signal contributes to a composite score. A booking is flagged when multiple signals agree — not when any single one triggers. That keeps our false-positive rate low while still catching real attempts.

  • VelocityBooking frequency per user, card, IP, and device over rolling windows.
  • Device fingerprintingBrowser, timezone, and behavioural baseline matching.
  • Threat-intel feedsKnown Tor exits, datacenter IPs, and compromised addresses.
  • Behavioural baseliningNavigation patterns consistent with human use, not automation.

We run our own servers.
No black boxes.

Most OTAs run on hyperscale cloud providers with opaque pricing and vendor lock-in. FareEagle runs on dedicated bare-metal infrastructure we operate and tune ourselves.

Honest framing: FareEagle is an independent Indian travel technology company at an early stage. Our production stack runs on a dedicated server with NVMe storage, operated 24/7, with backups and monitoring that we control.

We believe in saying this openly because it matters for how you think about us. We're not a front-end for someone else's inventory; we're engineers running a real system. When something breaks, we're the ones who fix it — usually within minutes, not days.
