Core

  • Pass
    Reachable

    Latest probe returned HTTP 200 in 262 ms.

  • Pass
    Valid handshake

    protocolVersion 2025-11-25, serverInfo.name apifare.

  • Pass

    tools/list returned 8 tools.

  • Pass
    Current protocol

    Negotiated 2025-11-25. The bar is 2025-06-18 or newer.

  • Pass
    HTTPS

    The endpoint URL is https.

Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 262 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 262 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.

    Free tier cited

    No publisher quote has been checked.

Tools

  • Pass
    Tools described

    Every tool description is at least 20 characters.

  • Pass

    Every inputSchema is a JSON Schema object.

  • Fail
    Parameters documented

    9 of 22 parameters have a description (41%). The bar is 80%.

  • Pass
    Safety hints

    Every tool sets readOnlyHint or 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

    A repository URL is on file.

  • Pass
    Repo owner matches

    The GitHub repository owner matches the namespace login.

Capabilities

Tools 8

call_api

Call an API from the apifare catalog by slug (find slugs with search_apis). The cost in prepaid credits is deducted automatically and returned with the result.

Discovered
check_balance

Check the remaining apifare prepaid credit balance (1 credit = $0.01) and get the top-up link.

Discovered
get_vault_link

Get a secure one-time link where the user can save their OWN API key for a provider (BYOK). Never ask the user to paste an API key into the chat — always use this link instead. BYOK calls cost a flat 0.1 credits; the user's own provider account pays the provider.

Discovered
search_apis

Search the apifare catalog of ready-to-call APIs (web search, scraping, weather, and more). Returns each API's slug, params, and per-call price in prepaid credits. Every miss is logged so missing APIs get added.

Discovered
secret_generate

Generate a random secret and place it directly at a vendor resource SERVER-SIDE — the value never enters this conversation.

Discovered
secret_transfer

Move a secret from one vendor to another SERVER-SIDE — the value never enters this conversation. Example: fetch a Supabase service_role key and place it as a Vercel env var.

Discovered
topup

Top up the apifare balance from the owner's standing auto-refill mandate (if the owner enabled one). Charges within the owner's configured limits and returns the new balance. Without a mandate, returns payment instructions to relay to the user.

Discovered
vendor_call

Call a vendor MANAGEMENT API (supabase, vercel, fly, resend, github, npm, cloudflare, lemonsqueezy) with the owner's vaulted root credential injected server-side. Native request/response; destructive, billing, and member/admin routes are blocked. The root token is never visible.
