AnyAPI MCP server

Hundreds of scraping and data APIs through one gateway: one key, USD pay-per-request, normalized schemas, automatic failover.

This package is a local stdio MCP server that proxies to the hosted AnyAPI MCP server at https://api.getanyapi.com/mcp. Clients that speak remote Streamable HTTP can point at that URL directly and skip this package entirely. Use this one when your client only launches local MCP servers over stdio.

Configuration

Variable	Required	Default	Meaning
ANYAPI_API_KEY	No	none	Your AnyAPI key. Running an API needs it. Connecting, listing the tools, and the four catalog tools do not.
ANYAPI_MCP_URL	No	https://api.getanyapi.com/mcp	The hosted endpoint to proxy to.

The key is optional on purpose, but be precise about what that buys. The hosted server answers initialize and tools/list without a credential, so a client connects and sees the ten tools with no account. It also answers the four catalog tools without one - search_apis, list_apis, get_api and quote_api - so a keyless install can find an API, read its input schema and price a call. run_api and the account tools return 401 without a key.

The same catalog is public over REST as well: GET https://api.getanyapi.com/catalog and GET https://api.getanyapi.com/catalog/search.

Tools

Ten tools, read live from the hosted server rather than declared in this package, so a catalog or schema change reaches you without a release here.

Tool	What it does
search_apis	Search APIs by meaning and keyword. Takes any combination of query, category and platform; a scope on its own is a complete search.
list_apis	Browse the catalog as lightweight summaries (id, name, category, USD pricing), with an optional category.
get_api	The full definition of one API: normalized input/output JSON Schemas, per-lane USD pricing, and trailing-30-day latency.
quote_api	The exact USD price of a run_api call before running it. Nothing is charged or executed.
run_api	Execute an API by SKU with normalized input. Returns the output, costUsd, and items. Supports fields, max_items, summary and jq.
get_request	Inspect or resume a durable request. Reads stored state and never repeats the paid dispatch.
read_result	Re-shape a prior run's output without re-running or paying again.
get_balance	The remaining USD wallet balance for the key.
report_bug	Report wrong, empty, or malformed data for input you believe is valid. Free.
send_feedback	Report a missing API, a missing field, or anything confusing. Free.

Failed calls are never charged.

Develop

npm install
npm run check   # build, then unit tests

npm run check needs no network and no API key. To drive the built server against production by hand:

npm run build
ANYAPI_API_KEY=aa_live_... node dist/index.js
