Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Available tools 8

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

secret
secret_generate
Generate a random secret and place it directly at a vendor resource SERVER-SIDE — the value never enters this conversation.
secret_transfer
Move a secret from one vendor to another SERVER-SIDE — the value never enters this conversation. Example: fetch a Supabase service_role key and place it as a Vercel env var.
apis
search_apis
Search the apifare catalog of ready-to-call APIs (web search, scraping, weather, and more). Returns each API's slug, params, and per-call price in prepaid credits. Every miss is logged so missing APIs get added.
balance
check_balance
Check the remaining apifare prepaid credit balance (1 credit = $0.01) and get the top-up link.
call
call_api
Call an API from the apifare catalog by slug (find slugs with search_apis). The cost in prepaid credits is deducted automatically and returned with the result.
topup
topup
Top up the apifare balance from the owner's standing auto-refill mandate (if the owner enabled one). Charges within the owner's configured limits and returns the new balance. Without a mandate, returns payment instructions to relay to the user.
vault
get_vault_link
Get a secure one-time link where the user can save their OWN API key for a provider (BYOK). Never ask the user to paste an API key into the chat — always use this link instead. BYOK calls cost a flat 0.1 credits; the user's own provider account pays the provider.
vendor
vendor_call
Call a vendor MANAGEMENT API (supabase, vercel, fly, resend, github, npm, cloudflare, lemonsqueezy) with the owner's vaulted root credential injected server-side. Native request/response; destructive, billing, and member/admin routes are blocked. The root token is never visible.

Apipay — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Apipay do?
It exposes 8 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: call_api, check_balance, get_vault_link, search_apis, secret_generate, secret_transfer and 2 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 Apipay working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 182 of 182 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 182 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
Is Apipay still maintained?
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private. We show this because it changes what you can expect: an unmaintained server may keep answering for months and then stop without warning.
How do I connect Apipay?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Apipay need an API key?
No. Apipay completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 8 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Apipay?
It answers our handshake in 182 ms on average, which is faster than 74% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Apipay?
The npm package apifare-mcp was installed 45 times in the last week. Week over week that is -87%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
