APIHub MCP Server

MCP serverDev tools

This app gives your AI access to a marketplace where it can discover APIs and pay for them with USDC credits. Once added, your AI can find the APIs it needs for a task and handle payment itself, without you setting up a wallet or paying gas fees.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add the app, then ask your AI to find an API for what you need. It can search the marketplace and pay using USDC credits.

Then ask your AI: use the apihub search tool from APIHub MCP Server

What your AI can do with it

  • Browse a marketplace of APIs
  • Discover APIs that fit a task
  • Pay for API usage with USDC credits
  • Make payments without setting up a wallet
  • Pay without gas fees

Quick start

Claude Desktop / Cursor / Codex

Add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apihub": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apihub.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ahk_your_api_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

APIHub CLI

npx @apihubio/cli install    # writes the MCP config for you
npx @apihubio/cli register   # get an API key
npx @apihubio/cli topup 10   # fund with $10 USDC

Why credits instead of per-call x402

  • Gasless: pay on-chain once when topping up, not per request
  • Walletless: no USDC, no EIP-3009 signing, no gas
  • Works in any MCP client: just a Bearer token header
  • Instant: D1 debit at the edge, no block confirmations per call
