- 03Monitor web pages and send change alerts
- 04Generate images, speech, or sound effects
MCP support
Connects to Sapiom's remote MCP server at https://api.sapiom.ai/v1/mcp. The server exposes cloud-service tools spanning scraping, compute, data, search, messaging, media, and governance.

From the project READMESapiom
97 cloud-service tools via one MCP server. Scrape, compute, store, search, generate — pay per use, no vendor accounts.
Quick Setup — MCP Server (Recommended)
# Claude Code CLI
claude mcp add sapiom --transport http https://api.sapiom.ai/v1/mcp
{
"mcpServers": {
"sapiom": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.sapiom.ai/v1/mcp"
}
}
}
Browser auth is used automatically. To use an API key instead, add --header "Authorization:Bearer YOUR_KEY" or set the headers field. Get a key at https://app.sapiom.ai/settings.
When to Use
- Scrape & extract web content, crawl sites, take screenshots
- Run code in cloud sandboxes (Node, Python, Go, Rust) with file I/O and process management
- Store data in Redis, Vector DB, Search Index, or ephemeral Postgres
- Search the web with Linkup (fast) or You.com (thorough)
- Generate media — images (Fal.ai), speech (ElevenLabs), sound effects
- Send messages via queues, schedules, and pub/sub
Building an agent? Use sapiom-agent-builder. Just deploying code? Use sapiom-deploy.

Tips
tool_discoverfinds the right tool by keyword — it's free, use it when unsure- Pass
agentNameon gateway calls for per-agent spend tracking sapiom_search(Linkup) = fast AI answer;sapiom_deep_search(You.com) = more raw results- Provision resources before using them:
sapiom_redis_create,sapiom_vector_create,sapiom_database_create - Set spending rules via
sapiom_create_spending_rulebefore deploying autonomous agents sapiom_database_priceis free — always check cost before creating a Postgres DB
SDK Access (Direct HTTP)
For direct HTTP calls without MCP, use the SDK:
npm install @sapiom/fetch
# or: npm install @sapiom/axios axios
const { createFetch } = require("@sapiom/fetch");
const safeFetch = createFetch({ apiKey: process.env.SAPIOM_API_KEY });
const res = await safeFetch("https://linkup.services.sapiom.ai/v1/search", {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({ q: "quantum computing", depth: "standard", outputType: "sourcedAnswer" }),
});
Python/curl: use standard HTTP with X-402-Payment header — see reference files for gateway URLs.
Troubleshooting
| Issue | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| 402 Payment Required | Insufficient balance or spending rule hit | Top up at app.sapiom.ai or check sapiom_list_spending_rules |
| MCP connection refused | Wrong URL or auth issue | Verify URL is https://api.sapiom.ai/v1/mcp; try browser auth or check API key |
tool_discover returns nothing | Too vague query | Use specific keywords: "scrape", "redis", "image", "search" |
| Scrape returns empty | JS-rendered page needs wait time | Use sapiom_scrape with waitFor: 3000 instead of sapiom_fetch |
| "Resource not found" | Using data tool before provisioning | Create first: sapiom_redis_create, sapiom_vector_create, etc. |
| Database URI missing | DB still provisioning | Wait a few seconds, then sapiom_database_get to check status |
