What is APIbase?

Production MCP server that gives AI agents access to 789 real-world API tools through a single endpoint. Agents connect once to https://apibase.pro/mcp and can search flights, get stock quotes, check weather and tides, forecast ocean waves and swell, query US Census and CDC health data, search ML models on HuggingFace, look up World Bank indicators, query UN SDG development goals data, track streamflow from USGS stations, search 7M+ CS papers on DBLP, generate images, send emails, decode VINs, look up chemical compounds, scan npm/PyPI vulnerabilities, search NIST NVD CVE records, find EV chargers, estimate solar PV output, search art at the Met Museum, look up Dota 2 match stats, get decoded aviation METAR/TAF, look up parsed NOTAMs and PIREPs, search FDA medical device recalls and 510(k) clearances, batch multiple calls, track usage analytics — and 1108 tools across 30+ categories.

Built for AI agents, not humans. Auto-registration, zero setup, pay-per-call via x402 USDC micropayments on Base or MPP (Machine Payments Protocol) on Tempo.

Platform Features

Usage Analytics (Free)

Track your API usage — total calls, cost, cache hit rate, latency, and per-tool breakdown.

# Usage summary
curl -X POST https://apibase.pro/api/v1/tools/account.usage/call \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
  -d '{"period": "7d"}'

# Per-tool breakdown
curl -X POST https://apibase.pro/api/v1/tools/account.tools/call \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
  -d '{"sort": "cost", "limit": 10}'

# Time series (hourly/daily buckets)
curl -X POST https://apibase.pro/api/v1/tools/account.timeseries/call \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
  -d '{"period": "30d", "granularity": "day"}'

Tool Quality Index (Free)

Check tool reliability before calling — uptime, p50/p95 latency, error rate. Updated every 10 minutes.

# Quality metrics for a specific tool
curl -X POST https://apibase.pro/api/v1/tools/platform.tool_quality/call \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
  -d '{"tool_id": "crypto.get_price"}'

# Rankings — find the most reliable tools
curl -X POST https://apibase.pro/api/v1/tools/platform.tool_rankings/call \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
  -d '{"sort": "uptime", "limit": 20}'

Batch API (Free wrapper)

Execute up to 20 tool calls in parallel with a single request. Each sub-call runs the full pipeline independently. You pay only for individual tool calls.

# Via MCP tool
curl -X POST https://apibase.pro/api/v1/tools/platform.call_batch/call \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
  -d '{"calls": [
    {"tool_id": "crypto.get_price", "params": {"coin": "bitcoin"}},
    {"tool_id": "finance.exchange_rates", "params": {"from": "USD", "to": "EUR"}},
    {"tool_id": "country.by_code", "params": {"code": "US"}}
  ]}'

# Via REST endpoint
curl -X POST https://apibase.pro/api/v1/tools/call_batch \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ak_live_..." \
  -d '{"calls": [...], "max_parallel": 10}'

Predictive Pre-fetching

When an agent calls a tool, the platform can automatically pre-fetch related data into cache. For example, a flight search pre-fetches exchange rates for the destination currency — so when the agent asks for rates next, it's an instant cache hit.

  • Fire-and-forget: does not slow down the original response
  • Controlled by PREFETCH_ENABLED env var (disabled by default)
  • Rules: flight search → exchange rates, real estate → walk score, geocode → country data

How Payment Works

APIbase supports dual payment rails — agents can pay using either protocol:

x402 (USDC on Base)

FieldValue
Protocolx402 (HTTP 402 Payment Required)
TokenUSDC on Base
Wallet0x50EbDa9dA5dC19c302Ca059d7B9E06e264936480
Price range$0.001 – $1.00 per call
SettlementSelf-hosted on-chain facilitator — no third-party SaaS in the payment path. See docs/x402-facilitator.md.

Sovereign payment settlement

APIbase runs its own x402 facilitator in-process: every successful payment is settled by submitting transferWithAuthorization directly on Base via viem. There is no Coinbase CDP, no PayAI, no third-party intermediary in the critical path of a paid request.

  • No vendor lock-in. If any third-party facilitator changes pricing, ToS, or KYC requirements, our service is unaffected.
  • Open architecture. Built on the public @x402/core + @x402/evm SDKs and viem — anyone can fork the pattern. Implementation in src/payments/local-facilitator.ts.
  • Predictable cost. Settlement = fixed Base gas (~$0.0005 per call) instead of opaque per-settle facilitator fees.
  • Fallback retained. PayAI HTTP facilitator stays wired as transparent in-client fallback — single-RPC blips don't drop revenue.

MPP (Machine Payments Protocol)

Price range$0.001 – $1.00 per call

No subscriptions. No minimums. Agent pays only for successful calls. Failed provider calls are auto-refunded.

13-Stage Pipeline

Every tool call passes through:

AUTH → IDEMPOTENCY → CONTENT_NEG → SCHEMA_VALIDATION → TOOL_STATUS →
CACHE → RATE_LIMIT → ESCROW → PROVIDER_CALL →
ESCROW_FINALIZE → LEDGER_WRITE → CACHE_SET → RESPONSE
  • Escrow-first: USDC locked before provider call, refunded on failure
  • Idempotent: same request + same key = same result, no double charges
  • Cache: per-tool TTL (5s for stock prices, 7 days for walkability scores)
  • Fail-closed: Redis down = reject all, no silent degradation

Authentication

MethodHeaderFormat
API KeyAuthorizationBearer ak_live_<32hex>
x402 PaymentX-PaymentBase64 payment receipt
MPP PaymentAuthorizationPayment <credential> (via mppx SDK)

Auto-registration: agents get API keys instantly on first request. No forms, no approval.

MPP Payment Flow (important for agent developers)

MPP uses a challenge–credential–receipt cycle. You MUST follow the full flow:

1. Agent → POST /api/v1/tools/{tool}/call (with Authorization: Bearer <key>)
2. Server → 402 + WWW-Authenticate: Payment id="...", method="tempo", request="..."
3. Agent signs payment on Tempo → retries with Authorization: Payment <credential>
4. Server verifies on-chain → 200 + Payment-Receipt header + tool result

Critical: Each 402 challenge is unique (HMAC-bound to the request URL, amount, and timestamp). You cannot reuse a credential from one challenge on a different endpoint or after expiry. The mppx SDK handles this automatically.

Using mppx SDK (recommended):

import { Mppx, tempo } from 'mppx/client'

// mppx auto-handles the full 402 → pay → retry cycle
const mppx = Mppx.create({
  methods: [tempo({ account: myTempoWallet })],
})

// This single call handles: request → 402 → sign → pay → retry → 200
const response = await fetch('https://apibase.pro/api/v1/tools/nasa.apod/call', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer ak_live_<your_key>',  // API key for agent identity
    'X-API-Key': 'ak_live_<your_key>',             // Preserved when mppx replaces Authorization
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({}),
})

Using Tempo CLI:

curl -fsSL https://tempo.xyz/install | bash
tempo wallet login
tempo request https://apibase.pro/api/v1/tools/nasa.apod/call -X POST --json '{}'

Using AgentCash (one command):

# Try any tool instantly
npx agentcash try https://apibase.pro

# Add all APIbase tools to your agent
npx agentcash add https://apibase.pro

Note: When mppx retries with Authorization: Payment, it replaces the original Bearer header. To preserve agent identity, also send your API key via X-API-Key header — the server accepts both.


Error Codes (Agent-Friendly)

Every error response includes machine-readable recovery hints:

{
  "error": "rate_limit_exceeded",
  "error_code": "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED",
  "message": "Too many requests",
  "request_id": "abc123",
  "suggested_action": "retry_after_delay",
  "documentation_url": "https://apibase.pro/frameworks#rest",
  "retry_after": 15
}
HTTPCodesuggested_action

404not_founduse_different_tool
429rate_limit_exceededretry_after_delay
502bad_gatewayretry_after_delay
503service_unavailableretry_after_delay

Troubleshooting (Dual-Rail Payments)

"MPP payment verification failed" on x402 requests

Symptom: Agent sends x402 payment (X-Payment header) but gets 400 MPP payment verification failed instead of data.

Root cause: If you use the mppx SDK with default settings, Mppx.create() installs a global fetch() polyfill that intercepts ALL HTTP requests — including x402 ones. When mppx sees a 402 response, it automatically signs an MPP credential and retries, even if the original request was x402. The MPP credential is invalid for x402 → server returns 400.

Fix: Initialize mppx with polyfill: false:

// WRONG — intercepts all fetch() calls including x402
const mppx = await Mppx.create({ wallet });

// CORRECT — only use mppx.fetch() explicitly for MPP payments
const mppx = await Mppx.create({ wallet, polyfill: false });

Then use mppx.fetch() only for MPP payments, and regular fetch() for x402.

Using both payment protocols

APIbase supports dual-rail payments. Each request should use ONE protocol:

ProtocolHeaderWhen to use
x402X-Payment: <signed-payload>Default. Use with Coinbase CDP or PayAI facilitator
MPPAuthorization: Payment <credential>Use with Tempo wallet and mppx SDK

Do NOT send both headers in the same request — both middleware will activate and one will fail.
