Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 68 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-03-26, serverInfo.name apihub.

  • Pass
    Lists tools

    tools/list returned 9 tools.

  • Fail
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-03-26. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 68 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 68 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

  • Not measured
    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass
    Valid input schemas

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Pass
    Parameters documented

    20 of 20 parameters have a description (100%). The bar is 80%.

  • Fail
    Safety hints

    9 tools set neither readOnlyHint nor destructiveHint.

Publisher

  • Pass
    Verified namespace

    Listed in the Official MCP Registry.

  • Not measured
    Website matches publisher

    This namespace is not a reverse domain, so the website comparison does not apply.

  • Pass
    Source repo linked

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Pass
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner matches the namespace login.

  • Fail
    Recently updated

    Updated 2026-04-28T20:14:39.271729Z, which is older than 180 days.

Capabilities

Tools 9

apihub_balance

Read-only. Returns your current APIHub credit balance (in microdollars and USD), total lifetime spending (microdollars and USD), and total completed request count. Requires a valid API key. Use before apihub_call or apihub_call_external to confirm sufficient funds for a paid request, or periodically to audit usage. Does not modify state, send payments, or call upstream APIs; for top-ups use apihub_topup.

Discovered
apihub_call

Sends payment. Calls a paid endpoint on an onboarded APIHub service. Debits the endpoint's price from your credit balance and forwards the request to the upstream provider. Returns an object with the upstream response body, HTTP status, and credits_charged_microdollars. Requires a valid API key and sufficient credit balance; if balance is insufficient the call returns a 402 with payment requirements (use apihub_topup to add credits, apihub_balance to check). Use this for services already onboarded to APIHub (find slugs via apihub_search or apihub_list_services); use apihub_call_external for arbitrary x402 URLs not onboarded here, or apihub_read_content for content gateways.

Discovered
apihub_call_external

Call an external x402-protected URL (any provider in the marketplace or any x402 API). APIHub pays the provider on your behalf using the platform wallet and debits your credit balance for the exact amount. No wallet or gas required.

Discovered
apihub_get_service

Get full details for a specific API service including all endpoints, schemas, and pricing.

Discovered
apihub_list_services

Read-only. Lists onboarded APIHub services alphabetically, returning each service's slug, name, description, category, provider, endpoint count, and lowest per-endpoint price in microdollars. No authentication required. Use this to browse the full onboarded catalog when you don't have a specific capability in mind; prefer apihub_search when filtering by query, category, or price. Does not include external x402 APIs (use apihub_search_external for those) and does not return endpoint-level details (use apihub_get_service for that).

Discovered
apihub_read_content

Read web content through a paid content gateway. Returns clean, structured text extracted from the URL. Use this for content services (service_type = 'content').

Discovered
apihub_search

Read-only. Searches onboarded APIHub services by free-text query, with optional category, price, and type filters. Returns up to 10 matches ranked by uptime and endpoint count, each with slug, description, endpoints array, min price in microdollars, provider name, and quality score. No authentication required. Use this when you need to find an API by capability; use apihub_list_services to browse without a query, apihub_search_external to include the external x402 catalog, or apihub_get_service when you already know a slug. Does not call any upstream API or debit credits.

Discovered
apihub_search_external

Search external x402-protected APIs (not operated by APIHub, but callable via credits). Returns listings with endpoint counts, prices, and tx_count_7d (USDC payments received on Base in the last 7 days), most used first.

Discovered
apihub_topup

Purchase APIHub credits via x402 (USDC on Base). Returns payment instructions including a web URL for browser-based payment, a CLI command, and raw x402 requirements for agents with wallet support. Credits are added to your account instantly once payment confirms on-chain.
