A marketplace of ready-to-use APIs and MCP servers for apps and AI agents
Listed APIs speak the Model Context Protocol, so they can be attached as tools to AI agents and used by MCP-capable clients like Cursor, Claude Desktop and Continue.
Test endpoints live against models such as Claude and GPT to see how an API behaves in an actual agent-driven conversation before you commit to an integration.
Register a base URL and credentials, define inputs and outputs with a guided wizard, and deploy an MCP server that serves both humans and agents.
API Hub handles hosting, subscriptions, billing and revenue sharing, so API owners can focus on the product instead of payment plumbing.
Zhipu AI's open platform for GLM large models, multimodal APIs, and agent building
Unified access to GLM large language models plus vision, OCR, speech, image, and video endpoints through one account.
Build tool-using agents and expose or consume MCP services to connect models to external systems.
Create managed knowledge bases and retrieval pipelines so models can answer with your own documents.
Tune models on your data and prototype prompts interactively in the browser before shipping.
Free / Open-sourceDelivers exceptional open-weight reasoning performance at very low cost, but lacks BigModel's broad enterprise multi-modal agent building suite.
