Prepaid, capped, auditable — for AI agents
One key. Every API your agent needs.
A fare card for your agent: one prepaid balance for everything it calls — called natively, under hard caps and a kill switch, with a receipt for every tap.
Give this to your agent — it takes it from there:
– calls routed · – credits honored — live

What's on the key
Your agent can call
One prepaid balance pays for 1,500+ tools your agent can run today, 3,400+ more with your own key, every x402-native endpoint, search, filings, registries, weather, and anything you already hold a key for. There is no separate provider account or provider API key for eligible capabilities — one apifare account gives your agent a capped, auditable budget.
Live means callable right now; rolling-out lanes light up here as they land. "Your key" runs on a key you vault (BYOK).
Exact per-call prices: /capabilities — the listed number is the number your balance is debited (CI-enforced).
How it works
Give it the key. It does the rest.
Anything that speaks MCP or plain HTTP — the agent discovers, calls, and pays on its own.

Pricing
Pay per call. Top up when you like.
→ 2,000 credits (suggested). Roughly 6,666 live searches, or 20,000 weather calls, at listed prices.
→ 500 credits. Sign up and start with $5 of calls free (500 credits); 1 credit = $0.01.
Consent once and the balance refills below your threshold — at most once a day, never past your monthly ceiling. Failed provider calls are refunded.
FAQ
Common questions
Do I need a separate account with each provider?
No — for eligible capabilities there is no separate provider account: one apifare key routes the call and your balance pays the listed price. For restricted platforms you vault your own key (BYOK) and apifare meters it at a flat 0.1 credit.
A provider call failed — am I charged?
No. Failed provider calls are refunded automatically as a compensating credit on the append-only ledger, referenced to the call id.
How is pricing structured?
Per call, in credits (1 credit = $0.01). The price listed on /capabilities is exactly what your balance is debited — CI fails our own build if page copy and billing ever drift.
Which agents and frameworks work?
Anything that speaks MCP or plain HTTP: Claude Code, Cursor, LibreChat, LangChain, CrewAI, n8n — or curl. Guides: integrations · llms.txt.
What stops my agent overspending?
Prepaid balance (hard stop at zero), per-agent daily/monthly caps and allowlists, a kill switch effective on the agent's next call, and a signed audit chain of every call, deny, and payment. Auto-refill only ever runs with your recorded consent, under your ceiling, and parks itself on any card failure.
How it runs
One human, a written constitution, and role agents operating the rest — support, canaries, rollbacks, this site's drafts. Money, legal posture, and public claims stay human; everything else ships itself, and the audit chain keeps score in public. Follow along: changelog · the weekly build-in-public digest.
