Web data for agents · by AgentKey (built by Chainbase)

AgentKey

An MCP server and REST gateway that routes an agent's calls to many third-party data APIs (web search, page extraction, social networks, e-commerce, finance and crypto data) behind one key and one monthly credit balance.

Instead of signing up for and wiring a separate paid API for search, scraping, social and market data, an agent gets all of them through one install and one bill, with fallback to a second provider when one fails.

For your agent

  • Install with `npx @agentkey/cli --auth-login` (or the install.sh script); MCP clients connect to https://api.agentkey.app/v1/mcp with OAuth, or with `Authorization: Bearer ak_...` when the client cannot do OAuth; REST calls use the same ak_ key.
  • You must follow each underlying provider's and platform's terms; AgentKey takes no responsibility for the legality of returned data
  • Do not use it to collect personal data without a legal basis or to build profiles of individuals
  • Never put the ak_ master key in client-side code; it spends your credits
