# apifare for Goose

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-goose (shown once).
2. 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: "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).
