# apifare for Claude Code

One prepaid, capped key for every API your agent needs, under hard caps and a kill switch.

1. Get a token: https://apifare.com/start?origin=page:integrations-claude-code (shown once).
2. Run this once in your terminal. It registers apifare as an MCP server for Claude Code.

```
claude mcp add apifare -e APIPAY_TOKEN=<your-token> -- npx -y apifare-mcp
```

   Replace <your-token> with your token. Start claude: the apifare tools are available in your sessions.
3. Try it: "search the web for X", then "fetch a URL", then "what's the weather in London".
4. Caps and the kill switch are checked before dispatch. An empty balance returns HTTP 402 with a top-up link (see /errors.md).
