Apollo Intelligence MCP Server 🏛️

40 tools for AI agents: intelligence feeds, economic data, DeFi, real-time search, crypto, OSINT, weather, ML/NLP, proxy infrastructure — all via x402 micropayments.

Give your AI agent access to curated market intelligence, web scraping through 190+ country residential proxies, real-time X/Twitter search, crypto prices, GitHub trending data, and more.

🚀 Zero-config: just install and go. The server auto-provisions a free API key with $0.10 balance on first run — no signup, no wallet, no configuration needed.

🆓 Free trial: 5 requests/day per IP on top of your auto-provisioned balance.

🔑 Bring your own key: Set APOLLO_API_KEY env var to use a specific key (overrides auto-provisioning).

💎 x402 (crypto): Pay per request with USDC on Base — fully automatic via x402 protocol.

Quick Start

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apollo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@apollo_ai/mcp-proxy"]
    }
  }
}

That's it! The server auto-provisions a free API key on first run. To use your own key instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apollo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@apollo_ai/mcp-proxy"],
      "env": {
        "APOLLO_API_KEY": "ak_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / Windsurf / Any MCP Client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apollo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@apollo_ai/mcp-proxy"]
    }
  }
}

Note: No env vars needed. The server auto-provisions a free API key ($0.10 balance) on first run and caches it in ~/.apollo-mcp/key.json. Set APOLLO_API_KEY env var to override.

To use a specific key:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apollo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@apollo_ai/mcp-proxy"],
      "env": {
        "APOLLO_API_KEY": "ak_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tip: Without APOLLO_API_KEY, the server auto-provisions a free key on first run. You also get 5 free requests/day per IP on top of the provisioned balance.
