MCP server for AI agents — crypto prices, prediction markets, web research
API for Chads MCP server for AI agents — crypto prices, prediction markets, web research & rendering
Website • Quick Start • Tools • Examples • Payment
9 tools for market intelligence, web rendering, and deep research. No accounts, no subscriptions — pay per request with Solana micropayments or an API key.
Why?
AI agents need data. Getting it usually means API keys, monthly plans, rate limit dashboards, and billing pages. That's friction built for humans, not agents.
API for Chads is built for the agentic web:
- MCP native — agents discover and use tools automatically
- x402 native — agents pay per request with Solana, no human needed
- One server, four capabilities — prices, markets, research, rendering
- Sub-penny pricing — most requests cost < $0.02
