Available tools 11

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

apiosk
apiosk_discover
Find the best paid x402 API for a data capability across discovery sources (Apiosk catalog + federated external listings). Decompose the user's request into capability segments first, then call this once per capability. Returns a normalized, ranked list; each result's `executable_via` says whether to call apiosk_execute (Apiosk-settled) or apiosk_inspect_x402 + apiosk_fetch_paid (external). Use this instead of apiosk_search when the goal is 'get real paid data for X', not just browsing.
apiosk_execute
Execute any Apiosk API by slug through the uniform /execute contract.
apiosk_explore
Browse Apiosk listing groups and explore one group at a time before narrowing with search.
apiosk_fetch_paid
Pay an EXTERNAL x402 endpoint (one Apiosk does not host) from the connected wallet and return its data. Use this only for external results from apiosk_discover (executable_via='apiosk_fetch_paid'); for Apiosk catalog listings use apiosk_execute. REQUIRED: call apiosk_inspect_x402 on the url first, tell the user the exact price, and pass that amount as confirmed_price_usdc — the gateway refuses if the live price is higher. The gateway enforces the wallet's per-tx/daily spend limits. Base + USDC only.
apiosk_get_api
Fetch full listing detail and agent metadata for a specific Apiosk API slug.
apiosk_help
Explain what Apiosk MCP is, how to connect it, how auth and USDC/x402 payments work, and the recommended workflow for discovery, wallets, and publishing.
apiosk_inspect_x402
Read an arbitrary URL's x402 payment terms (price, asset, network, payTo) WITHOUT paying. Use this on an external result's `url` from apiosk_discover before paying: it makes one unauthenticated request, parses the 402 offer, and returns the exact amount so you can confirm the price with the user. Read-only; never spends. apiosk_execute (for Apiosk catalog listings) does not need this.
apiosk_list_wallets
List the signed-in user's managed Apiosk wallets. Requires an Apiosk dashboard session from local env auth or hosted MCP authorization.
apiosk_payment_guide
Explain how to pay through the Apiosk gateway. Returns a buyer guide (how an agent settles a paid API call over USDC/x402, tailored to the current auth) and a provider guide (how to publish an API and get paid). Pass slug to scope buyer guidance to one listing, or role to pick a side.
apiosk_search
Search and browse the Apiosk catalog by capability, price, or category. For browsing/filtering the catalog. When the goal is to fulfil a user request with real paid data ('get me the live X'), prefer apiosk_discover, which decomposes the need and ranks the best endpoints across sources.
publish
publish_x402_route
Publish an API endpoint as a paid x402 route on the Apiosk gateway. The route gets a paid URL that returns 402 Payment Required until the caller pays in USDC, then forwards to your upstream API. New routes enter Apiosk's review queue (status pending_review) and go live on approval. Requires an Apiosk provider token (Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…).

Apiosk Connect — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Apiosk Connect do?
It exposes 11 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: apiosk_discover, apiosk_execute, apiosk_explore, apiosk_fetch_paid, apiosk_get_api, apiosk_help and 5 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 Apiosk Connect 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 289 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Apiosk Connect?
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 Apiosk Connect need an API key?
No. Apiosk Connect completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 11 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Apiosk Connect?
It answers our handshake in 289 ms on average, which is faster than 48% 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 Apiosk Connect?
The npm package @apiosk/mcp was installed 144 times in the last week. Week over week that is -82%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Apiosk Connect open source?
Yes — written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
