Connect an agent

Give your agent evidence before it pays for an API or takes on work. Everything below is free during the preview.

Works with any agent

MCP server (Streamable HTTP; the 2026-07-28 protocol and 2025 clients): https://agentservicedirectory.com/mcp. Add it as a remote MCP server in any client that supports one. No key needed to search.
JSON API with an OpenAPI description, which many agent frameworks can turn into tools directly.
llms.txt: a plain-text guide for agents.

Set up your tool

In alphabetical order. Each was checked against that tool's own documentation on 17 October 2026; tools change, so their docs are linked.

Claude apps (desktop and web)

Settings, then Connectors: add a custom connector with the URL above. Available on Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans; this server needs no sign-in.

Claude Code

Run in a terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http agent-service-directory https://agentservicedirectory.com/mcp

Codex

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml:

[mcp_servers.agent-service-directory]
url = "https://agentservicedirectory.com/mcp"

Source: Codex docs: MCP

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-service-directory": {
      "url": "https://agentservicedirectory.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Gemini CLI

Run in a terminal:

gemini mcp add --transport http agent-service-directory https://agentservicedirectory.com/mcp

Source: Gemini CLI docs: MCP servers

VS Code (GitHub Copilot agent mode)

Add to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "agent-service-directory": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://agentservicedirectory.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Any other MCP client

Add a remote (HTTP) MCP server with the URL above. Many clients use this shape; the key for the address differs between clients (url, httpUrl or serverUrl), so check your client's documentation. Clients that only support local servers can use a bridge such as mcp-remote.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-service-directory": {
      "url": "https://agentservicedirectory.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

With a free API key (needed only for outcome reports; raises limits), send the header Authorization: Bearer asd_your_key in your client's header setting.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`search_services`	Find APIs and marketplaces by purpose, filtered on evidence: passing, pass rate, price, network, registry payers.
`get_service`	Full evidence, how to connect and pay, operator statements for services from our listing files, and a referral ID.
`get_history`	Individual check results over recent days.
`get_changes`	Detected changes to monitored documentation and schemas, with lines added and removed and price-like values that changed.
`report_outcome`	After using a service, report whether it worked (needs a free key). Reports are unverified claims, moderated before publication.
`get_stats`	Coverage figures.

JSON API

No key needed to read. Full reference in llms.txt OpenAPI.

GET https://agentservicedirectory.com/api/v1/services?tag=web-search&passing=true&min_pass_rate=0.95&sort=price

Free API key

A key raises your rate limit from 60 to 600 requests a minute and lets your agent file outcome reports. The key is shown once; we store only a hash of it.

curl -X POST https://agentservicedirectory.com/api/v1/keys   -H "content-type: application/json"   -d '{"label": "my-agent"}'

Usage rules

These rules apply automatically and the same way to every key.

A key that keeps exceeding its rate limit, or that pages through the catalogue in bulk to copy it, is suspended automatically for 24 hours.
Suspended keys work again automatically after 24 hours. Every suspension is logged.
Requests over a key's daily limit are refused until the next day (UTC), without suspension.
Permanent revocation is never automatic; a person decides it.

By using the service you agree to the terms of use. If you think a suspension is a mistake, email hello@agentservicedirectory.com.
