Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Apihubio every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 9

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

apihub
apihub_balance
Read-only. Returns your current APIHub credit balance (in microdollars and USD), total lifetime spending (microdollars and USD), and total completed request count. Requires a valid API key. Use before apihub_call or apihub_call_external to confirm sufficient funds for a paid request, or periodically to audit usage. Does not modify state, send payments, or call upstream APIs; for top-ups use apihub_topup.
apihub_call
Sends payment. Calls a paid endpoint on an onboarded APIHub service. Debits the endpoint's price from your credit balance and forwards the request to the upstream provider. Returns an object with the upstream response body, HTTP status, and credits_charged_microdollars. Requires a valid API key and sufficient credit balance; if balance is insufficient the call returns a 402 with payment requirements (use apihub_topup to add credits, apihub_balance to check). Use this for services already onboarded to APIHub (find slugs via apihub_search or apihub_list_services); use apihub_call_external for arbitrary x402 URLs not onboarded here, or apihub_read_content for content gateways.
apihub_call_external
Call an external x402-protected URL (any provider in the marketplace or any x402 API). APIHub pays the provider on your behalf using the platform wallet and debits your credit balance for the exact amount. No wallet or gas required.
apihub_get_service
Get full details for a specific API service including all endpoints, schemas, and pricing.
apihub_list_services
Read-only. Lists onboarded APIHub services alphabetically, returning each service's slug, name, description, category, provider, endpoint count, and lowest per-endpoint price in microdollars. No authentication required. Use this to browse the full onboarded catalog when you don't have a specific capability in mind; prefer apihub_search when filtering by query, category, or price. Does not include external x402 APIs (use apihub_search_external for those) and does not return endpoint-level details (use apihub_get_service for that).
apihub_read_content
Read web content through a paid content gateway. Returns clean, structured text extracted from the URL. Use this for content services (service_type = 'content').
apihub_search
Read-only. Searches onboarded APIHub services by free-text query, with optional category, price, and type filters. Returns up to 10 matches ranked by uptime and endpoint count, each with slug, description, endpoints array, min price in microdollars, provider name, and quality score. No authentication required. Use this when you need to find an API by capability; use apihub_list_services to browse without a query, apihub_search_external to include the external x402 catalog, or apihub_get_service when you already know a slug. Does not call any upstream API or debit credits.
apihub_search_external
Search external x402-protected APIs (not operated by APIHub, but callable via credits). Returns listings with endpoint counts, prices, and on-chain activity.
apihub_topup
Purchase APIHub credits via x402 (USDC on Base). Returns payment instructions including a web URL for browser-based payment, a CLI command, and raw x402 requirements for agents with wallet support. Credits are added to your account instantly once payment confirms on-chain.

Apihubio — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Apihubio do?
It exposes 9 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: apihub_balance, apihub_call, apihub_call_external, apihub_get_service, apihub_list_services, apihub_read_content and 3 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Apihubio working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 217 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Apihubio?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Apihubio need an API key?
No. Apihubio completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 9 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Apihubio?
It answers our handshake in 217 ms on average, which is faster than 63% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Apihubio open source?
We cannot say either way: 0 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
