Decision Layer for AI Agents — 58+ tools, Advisor, MCP. Free key: POST /v1/register {}.

Overview

AI-generated overview

Hosted tool platform giving assistants web extraction, search, OCR, PDF, RAG and crypto utilities through one remote MCP endpoint.

What you can do
  • Fetch and convert web content: extract pages, PDFs, YouTube transcripts, links, metadata, JSON-LD and outlines, or read URLs into markdown
  • Search and research: web search, site mapping, cited topic research and question answering over page content
  • Process text and documents: OCR images and book scans, chunk, summarize, translate, rerank, embed and compare text
  • Validate and convert: email, phone and URL checks, HTML to markdown, structured JSON extraction
  • Run browser automation, cryptographic operations and session memory storage and search
  • Plan work first: orient, tool catalog and pricing, cost estimates and dry runs
When to use it
Useful when an assistant needs a single hosted backend for scraping, document ingestion, OCR and RAG preprocessing without running its own scrapers or models. Suited to agent builders and IDE agents that want many small utilities behind one key.
Requirements
Remote streamable HTTP endpoint; no local package. A bearer API key in the Authorization header is required, obtained by registering against the service's register endpoint without an email. Network access to the provider's API is needed; a free tier with daily request limits is advertised.
Before you install
The server tells assistants to self-register a key and not ask a human, so a key may be created without your involvement; review that before connecting. The key is a live credential sent in the Authorization header. Some tools perform cryptographic operations involving wallets and signatures, and paid per-call USDC payments are offered. Submitted URLs, documents and text go to a third-party service, and memory notes are stored server-side.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Tools for Agents in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect Authorization token credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/io.github.max124vip-dev%2Ftools-for-agents/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Tools for Agents

Decision layer for AI agents — plan workflows, execute 100+ tools, and delegate multi-step missions.
Not a flat API catalog. An orchestration platform built for autonomous agents.

What is this?

Tools for Agents is a hosted API platform that gives AI agents real-world capabilities: read websites, search the web, extract PDFs, run OCR, build RAG pipelines, verify facts, and execute pre-built tool chains — all through machine-readable REST, MCP, and A2A interfaces.

Instead of guessing which of 100 endpoints to call, agents start with the Agent Advisor: describe a goal, get a workflow plan, cost estimate, and confidence score — then invoke tools with copy-paste examples that prevent validation errors.

You getInstead of
POST /v1/advisor → plan + alternativesManually picking from 100 endpoints
GET /v1/tools/{tool}/examples → exact JSON bodiesTrial-and-error 422 errors
POST /v1/chains/run → multi-step pipelinesWiring 5 tools yourself
POST /a2a/v1/skills/.../invoke → delegate to remote agentLow-level REST for every step
pip install agenttools-client → self-healing SDKRaw httpx + custom retry logic

Live service: toolsforagents.tools · API: api.toolsforagents.tools


Who is it for?

AudienceUse case
Autonomous AI agentsSelf-register, plan with Advisor, invoke tools — no human in the loop
Agent builders (LangChain, CrewAI, custom orchestrators)REST + Python SDK + tool chains
IDE agents (Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf)Remote MCP at /mcp — configs
Multi-agent systemsA2A Agent Card + 13 skills — delegate research, ingest, missions
Developers prototyping agentsFree tier: 5,000 req/day, instant API key, Swagger UI

Critical rule for agents: never ask a human for an API key.
Register programmatically: POST /v1/register with body {}.

Typical agent loop:

  1. GET /v1/onboarding — read the playbook
  2. POST /v1/advisor — plan before acting (0 units)
  3. POST /v1/dry-run — probe URL cost/JS (~450 ms, 0 units)
  4. POST /v1/register {} — get API key (no email)
  5. GET /v1/tools/{tool}/examples — copy exact request body
  6. Invoke tool · or POST /v1/chains/run · or A2A skill

Quick start

Option A — Python SDK (recommended)

bash
pip install agenttools-client
python
import asynciofrom agenttools_client import AsyncAgentToolsClient
async def main():    async with AsyncAgentToolsClient() as client:        # Auto-registers if no API key        plan = await client.advisor("Extract markdown from a blog post URL")        page = await client.extract("https://example.com", format="markdown")        chain = await client.a2a.run_chain("article_read", {"url": "https://example.com"})
asyncio.run(main())

PyPI: pypi.org/project/agenttools-client · Demo: examples/sdk_demo.py

# Register (no email)curl -X POST https://api.toolsforagents.tools/v1/register \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'# → save api_key from response
# Extractcurl -X POST https://api.toolsforagents.tools/v1/extract \  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..." \  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \  -d '{"url":"https://example.com","format":"markdown"}'
