How do I install the io.apis/apis-io MCP server?

io.apis/apis-io is a hosted endpoint at https://apis.io/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

agent_readiness_dimensions ~177

UNDERSTANDING — diffusion: for each agent-readiness dimension, how many scored providers satisfy it, out of how many, as a share. The denominator every "the agent web is/is not here yet" claim needs and almost never has. Priced B1 (single-entity synthesis) — $0.01 per call under pay-as-you-go; included in Understanding and Influence. See apis://prices.

apis_io_search ~409

START HERE. Federated overview of the APIs.io catalog for a query: the top matching APIs, providers, AND tags in one call, each with its total match count. Filter by tags, artifact types, industry, region, rating band. `limit` is per section. To page/sort the full list of ONE type, use find_apis / find_providers / find_tags; for one entity, get_api / get_provider.

check_status ~199

INFLUENCE — the status of a check request by id: queued, in_review, running, done, rejected or needs_info, with any notes shared by the reviewer. The id identifies the request, but the Influence plan is now required to read it back. To report an error for free, use report_correction or open an issue on the provider's api-evangelist repo. Priced B1 (single-entity synthesis) — $0.01 per call under pay-as-you-go; included in Understanding and Influence. See apis://prices.

claim_listing ~183

INFLUENCE — ask to claim a listing as yours. Returns 202 with a token and the hosts it will be checked against: publish it as a DNS TXT record, or as a file at /.well-known/apis-io-challenge, and leave it up. A PERSON verifies it and emails you — there is nothing else to call. Track it with check_status. Priced B4 (human work) — worked by a person, no charge. See apis://prices.

cohort_capabilities ~239

UNDERSTANDING — what every member of a cohort actually publishes: artifact counts by type plus the agent-readiness dimensions each one satisfies. The capability matrix behind a market report. Large cohorts come back in byte-budgeted chunks: while `complete` is false, call again with `cursor` set to `next_cursor`; the last page has `complete: true` and a null `next_cursor`. Priced B2 (cross-catalog synthesis) — $0.05 per call under pay-as-you-go; included in Understanding and Influence. See apis://prices.

cohort_failures ~270

UNDERSTANDING — what a whole market gets WRONG: the agent-readiness checks its members most commonly fail, ranked by what fixing each would move the cohort mean. The inverse of gap_analysis, which says where a market is under-served; this says where it is failing the rubric. Turns "fix your OpenAPI" into "this industry does not publish OpenAPI", which is the shape of a finding worth publishing. Named checks only — facet rollups cannot name the checks underneath them. Priced per result — $0.005 per request plus $0.0002 per record returned (less past 100), capped at $0.50 a request, under pay-as-you-go; included in Understanding and Influence. Estimate first at /api/v1/prices/estimate. See apis://prices.

cohort_history ~224

UNDERSTANDING — the SET-LEVEL time series: how a whole market's Kin Score and agent readiness moved, build by build. There was a per-provider series and a whole-dataset licence and nothing between them, so "how has banking moved over six months" had no answer. Returns the MEAN over members present on each date plus members_scored beside it — membership changes as the catalog grows, and a move you cannot attribute to scores rather than population is not a finding. Priced B2 (cross-catalog synthesis) — $0.05 per call under pay-as-you-go; included in Understanding and Influence. See apis://prices.

cohort_rankings ~215

UNDERSTANDING — the leaderboard for a market, on TWO axes: rank by Kin Score composite AND rank by agent readiness. The two orders differ, and the gap between a provider's two ranks is usually the story. Priced per result — $0.005 per request plus $0.0002 per record returned (less past 100), capped at $0.50 a request, under pay-as-you-go; included in Understanding and Influence. Estimate first at /api/v1/prices/estimate. See apis://prices.

cohort_scores ~220

UNDERSTANDING — facet-level scores for every member of a cohort, each with the cohort average and the delta against it. A 60 in governance means nothing until you know the market sits at 45; this is the endpoint that says so. Priced per result — $0.005 per request plus $0.0002 per record returned (less past 100), capped at $0.50 a request, under pay-as-you-go; included in Understanding and Influence.

cohort_stats ~253

UNDERSTANDING — the DISTRIBUTION for a whole market: Kin Score mean/median/min/max/stdev, agent-readiness spread, band split, per-facet averages, and artifact adoption rates. This is the market-stats sheet from a Trend Report, computed live. Always carries a `coverage` block saying how much of the roster is actually scored AND how deeply we enriched it (`enrichment_depth`: mean catalog_gap and median artifact directories). Read that before quoting the mean anywhere: cohort enrichment depth spans ~42 points of catalog_gap across the catalog, so part of any cohort number is our coverage rather than the market. Priced B2 (cross-catalog synthesis) — $0.05 per call under pay-as-you-go; included in Understanding and Influence. See apis://prices.

compare_cohorts ~296

UNDERSTANDING — two markets side by side on one rubric: "is US payments further along than UK banking?" Returns both distributions plus the deltas on score, agent readiness, every facet and every adoption rate. A question a written report cannot answer, because a report only ever covers one market. CHECK `depth_confounded` FIRST: when the higher-scoring cohort is also the one we enriched more deeply, the delta reflects our own coverage as much as the markets, and `depth_note` says by how much. Priced per result — $0.005 per request plus $0.0002 per record returned (less past 100), capped at $0.50 a request, under pay-as-you-go; included in Understanding and Influence.

Score and band are not owner-settable and are ignored. Priced B4 (human work) — included in Influence; otherwise $49.00 as a one-off with its own receipt, never from a prepaid balance.

export_dataset ~374

LICENCE (sold on the Influence plan) — the WHOLE dataset, not a 100-row page: `ratings` (every rated provider with facets, trend, rubric + provenance), `providers` (the catalog with coverage + score), or `history` (every provider's full score time series — parallel date/composite/agent_readiness arrays across every scored build the catalog retains, with a movement summary per provider). `history` is the one nobody can reconstruct after the fact: it is the only record of what the catalog looked like on those dates. For media outlets and analysts licensing the data to publish rankings and trends. Every dataset exceeds one response, so they arrive in byte-budgeted chunks: while `complete` is false, call again with `cursor` set to `next_cursor` and concatenate `data`; the last page has `complete: true` and a null `next_cursor`. Attribute to apis.io and cite the rubric. Priced B3 (bulk export) — $0.002 per row, $0.50 minimum per call under pay-as-you-go; included in Understanding and Influence. See apis://prices.

find_agent_readiness ~344

UNDERSTANDING — the agent-readiness leaderboard across the whole catalog. Rank providers by agent readiness, and filter to those that DO satisfy (has) or do NOT satisfy (missing) specific dimensions — e.g. has="mcp_server,protected_resource_metadata" is the OAuth-capable MCP cohort, missing="agent_card" is the addressable market for a fix. Returns agent score + band alongside the Kin Score. Priced per result — $0.005 per request plus $0.0002 per record returned (less past 100), capped at $0.50 a request, under pay-as-you-go; included in Understanding and Influence.

FREE, no account — the A2A agent registry: agents that registered THEMSELVES by serving an agent card and calling register_agent. Each row carries the card URL, the operator, and the last verification of the card (grade, protocol version, transport). This is the door an unattended agent can walk through unaided; the others need a person or a voucher.

find_apis ~734

Paginated, sortable list of APIs across providers — filter by tag, provider, artifact type, industry, region, or rating band. Matching is LEXICAL: `q` searches the API's own name and description. apis_io_search reports a larger API total for the same `q` because it also counts every API belonging to a provider whose NAME matched; pass include=["via_provider"] here to get that same union, and `meta.query.via_provider` says how many rows it added. Use apis_io_search first for a cross-type overview.
