APIClaw

APIClaw 🦞

DOCS X LICENSE BUILT BY npm installs


The Control Plane for AI Agents. One runtime for model routing and 26,619 discoverable APIs, including 689 current catalog entries matched to source-verification evidence by exact name. Discovery, routing, missions, and observability live on one rail. Sign in once with apiclaw auth login; the same credential works across local MCP, CLI, HTTP gateway, and Remote MCP.

Route across supported models from OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, xAI, Groq, Mistral, Cohere, DeepInfra, or a configured endpoint. Switch with one parameter, no SDK swap, no lock-in.

One runtime, four doors

Install (.mcpb), CLI (apiclaw), HTTP gateway (api.apiclaw.cloud), Remote MCP (apiclaw.cloud/mcp). Same auth, same logs, same canon — all from one sign-in.

Agent-native auth

npx @nordsym/apiclaw auth login opens the browser, one-tap Google sign-in, writes ~/.apiclaw.toml. ~15 seconds. No keys to paste. Sub-15-second signup-to-first-call.

Discover 26,619 APIs

Find providers by job-to-be-done. Health-ranked, capability-tagged, callable-or-not flagged. The discover_apis tool delegates to the gateway so every door returns the same canon.

Mission runtime

Compose fetch, transform, decide, validate, execute primitives into typed orchestrations. Append-only missionEvents audit log. Cost-budget per mission with hard halt. Parallel-execution scaffolding ready.

Observability built in

Every call logged with _apiclaw metadata (provider, route, latency, cost, auth mode). 80% quota warning surfaces as _notice before paywall. Weekly funnel scorecard mailed Monday 08:00 UTC.

Managed where it matters

APIClaw inventories 22 server-side managed adapters. Four provider rails are customer-executable now: OpenRouter chat, Brave Search, GitHub read-only, and NASA read-only. Adapter inventory is not an execution promise. Runtime readiness is explicit and unknown-cost customer traffic fails closed.


Install

# 1. Install (Claude Desktop)
# Download and open: https://apiclaw.cloud/apiclaw.mcpb

# 2. Or any MCP-compatible client
npm install -g @nordsym/apiclaw

# 3. Sign in once. Works across all doors.
npx @nordsym/apiclaw auth login

Adds APIClaw as an MCP server in Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenClaw, or any MCP-compatible agent. The auth flow opens the browser, signs you in via Google one-tap, and writes ~/.apiclaw.toml. The free workspace includes up to 25 managed calls for its lifetime, subject to a $1 total underlying provider-cost cap. Discovery stays free. Billing-ready managed actions can continue beyond that at provider cost + 15%; variable-cost actions without an exact adapter remain blocked.

When to use

Auth

Install (.mcpb / @nordsym/apiclaw)

Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenClaw

apiclaw auth login~/.apiclaw.toml

CLI (apiclaw)

Terminal, scripts, CI/CD

Same file

HTTP gateway (api.apiclaw.cloud/v1/*)

Server-side agents (OpenClaw, Hermes, custom backends), n8n

Authorization: Bearer sk-claw-...

Remote MCP (apiclaw.cloud/mcp)

Grok, Cursor (remote), ChatGPT, ClaudeDesktop

OAuth 2.1 + PKCE + DCR → Bearer sk-mcp-...

All four resolve to the same Convex deployment. One auth resolver, one workspace, one billing rail, one log stream.


What you can call

Discoverable (26,619)

The full registry, searchable via discover_apis(query). Every entry tagged by category, health-ranked by recent success-rate, callable-or-not flagged.

Exact-name source-verified (689)

These current public catalog entries map to source-verification evidence by exact name. Source verification is discovery evidence, not proof that APIClaw can execute the API.

  • Managed adapter inventory (22) - APIClaw has server-side adapter and credential support. Inventory alone does not enable customer execution.

  • Customer-executable providers (4) - OpenRouter chat, Brave Search, GitHub read-only actions, and NASA read-only actions.

  • Source-verified definitions (689) - Discovery-only unless the result also exposes an explicitly customer-executable managed action.

Mission templates

  • Customer templates appear only after every cost-bearing step has a verified cost adapter. GenPRD remains internal until that contract is exact.

Access

Free

$0 forever

Up to 25 managed calls for the lifetime of the workspace, subject to a $1 total underlying provider-cost cap. Discovery is free. Free email signup required.

Pay as you go

Provider cost + 15% margin

Billing-ready managed actions continue after the free allowance. Per-request provider cost, customer charge, and margin are recorded. Actions without an exact billing adapter remain blocked.

Pricing canon: underlying provider cost plus a 15% margin. Stripe metered billing live.
