One-stop live data marketplace for your agent

AgentKey is a plugin that connects your agent to live external data in one command. Install it into Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, or any MCP-based agent and instantly unlock access to search, web pages, social platforms, finance, e-commerce, business and crypto data. No integrations. No setup. Auto failover keeps workflows running.

Hey PH , I'm Cong, Founding engineer at Chainbase here. I've spent the past few months building AgentKey, a one-stop live data marketplace for your agent, and I want to share the three problems that took us the longest to get right.
1. Tool discovery
We sit on ~1,800 API endpoints. If you dump those into MCP as static tools, the agent burns ~35,000 tokens of context just loading the definitions, and it still picks the wrong tool half the time. So we built our own intent recognition layer: the agent describes what it wants in plain language, like "find trending sunscreen posts on reddit", and a retrieval model we trained on our own catalog maps that straight to the right endpoint. Param schemas only load for the one tool it actually picks. The whole flow runs on about 1,500 tokens, and it stays that cheap no matter how many endpoints we add.
2. Every agent wants to be integrated differently.
Claude Code, Codex, WorkBuddy, Openclaw ... we support 20+ of them and each has its own quirks. Our answer is a split architecture: a lightweight skill on your machine that auto-detects whatever agents you have and keeps itself updated, plus one standardized MCP server in our cloud that's always current. You set it up once and never think about it again. New endpoints, fixes, upgrades all land on the server side, so there's no local upgrade treadmill to babysit.
3. Upstream APIs are flaky.
Providers rate-limit, degrade, and sometimes just die. We do QoS-based traffic shaping and automatic failover between providers, so when one goes down the request quietly reroutes to a healthy one. Your agent gets an answer instead of a 503.
I'm around all day, happy to answer anything about how this works under the hood.
Super convenient and easy to use! It would be perfect if they kept the points top-up option

@qq0018 thansk, it's still around! Check the billing page, there's an "Extra Credits" section with a top up button (needs Lite plan or above). If you're on Lite and still not seeing it, ping me
the interesting part isn't any single integration, it's that the agent gets a whole catalog. my research assistant went from "answers from training data" to "checked five live sources" with zero code from me.

@kryptaria Once access stops being a project, the agent starts checking things you never asked it to check. We noticed the same shift dogfooding it ourselves, questions come back with receipts now
AgentKey
@kryptaria Well said. We found that once the friction of accessing live data disappears, agents become much more "curious". They stop relying mainly on what they already know and start checking multiple sources by default :)

Hello PH community, I'm Luki, founding member at AgentKey, leading product partnerships. Mogu and Cong covered the why and how, so just my two cents from the partnerships side.
The biggest blocker I keep seeing is that nobody wants to spend weeks juggling multiple API signups, keys, and renewals just to launch one feature.
A few examples:
A travel AI team wanted to add flight and hotel pricing. The idea sat on the backlog because no one wanted to set up multiple data providers. With AgentKey, they had it working right away.
A fintech startup needed live crypto and market data. They were able to testing with real data within a day, instead of spending weeks signing up for different vendors.
A gaming studio was building NPC agents that needed both web search and social context. One integration gave them everything instead of stitching together several services.
That's the part of AgentKey I'm most excited about. We help teams spend less time on account setup and vendor juggling, and more time building the product they actually want to ship.
I'll be around in the comments today if anyone wants to chat about partnerships, integrations, or use cases :)
For research workflows, having FRED + finnhub + yahoo finance next to social sentiment behind the same key is a sneaky-good combo. Macro context and market chatter in one loop.
AgentKey
@parsons_wu_real team favorite combo honestly. The fun part is the cross-category stuff, like ecommerce listings plus social chatter for product picking, what's getting hyped versus what's actually selling. Most of the good pairings are probably still undiscovered. Weirder combos welcome

I once spent a whole weekend wiring reddit + serp + a scraping vendor into one agent, then the scraper changed its auth flow and broke everything. This is the product I wished existed that weekend.
AgentKey
@cruise_chen The auth flow change three months later is the part nobody warns you about. Making that our problem instead of yours is basically the whole product. Hope the agent survived
