apifare for Goose

Give Goose one prepaid key for every API it needs. There is no separate provider account or provider API key for eligible capabilities, and it all runs under hard caps and a kill switch.

Get a key

1 · Get a key

Create an account at /start: email in, token out (shown once). Save the token somewhere safe.

2 · Add apifare to Goose

In goose Desktop, open Extensions → Add custom extension, choose Standard IO, set the command to npx -y apifare-mcp, and add the environment variable APIPAY_TOKEN. Or add this to ~/.config/goose/config.yaml (on Windows, %APPDATA%\Block\goose\config\config.yaml).

extensions:
  apifare:
    name: apifare
    cmd: npx
    args: [-y, apifare-mcp]
    enabled: true
    envs: { "APIPAY_TOKEN": "<your-token>" }
    type: stdio
    timeout: 300

Replace <your-token> with your token. goose confirms the extension is installed. If you edited the file, start a new session; goose info -v shows the configuration it read.

3 · Try it

Ask goose to search the web for X, then to fetch a URL, then what's the weather in London. Every call is debited from your balance and lands on your signed, exportable audit chain.

4 · Stay in control

Set daily or monthly caps per agent, and keep the kill switch ready. Both are checked before a call is dispatched. When the balance runs out, your agent gets an HTTP 402 with a top-up link it can hand you; the error catalog lists every stop and what unblocks it.

What Goose can call

Everything on the key: search, filings, registries, weather, and ready-to-run tools, plus any provider key you vault yourself. Exact per-call prices are on /capabilities.
