What is Monid?

Monid is a tool and API gateway for AI agents. It connects an agent to 1,700 tools and APIs through one integration, and the agent discovers, compares and buys tools at runtime. The catalog covers web search and scraping, company and contact data, SEO data, AI audio and similar services from providers such as TinyFish, Firecrawl, Apollo, Exa, Hunter, DataForSEO and ElevenLabs. Monid Inc describes itself as a Delaware C-Corp in San Francisco.

Setup is one line given to your agent, which installs the CLI and asks for an API key from app.monid.ai. Other ways to connect are a Skill, the remote MCP server with no install and no key, the CLI and an API you call from your own code. The site also publishes live rankings of tools based on completed calls routed through Monid, and says that traffic sent directly to a provider's API is not visible to it. Monid is open source, and tool providers can contribute their tools.

Pricing is per call. The home page says your agent can use the tools with no sign-ups, no subscriptions and zero markup, and new accounts start with $1.00. How-to guides show what a job costs, for example $0.05 for a brief on a company and $0.07 for funding history and investors. Free calls count as one fifth of a paid call in the rankings. Amounts are shown in dollars, so ask about rupee billing and GST invoices before an Indian company commits.

Before adopting it, check that the specific tools you need are live, because some tool pages show that no endpoints are available yet and say the catalog grows weekly. The rankings measure only usage routed through Monid, so they are not a measure of users or spend across the wider market. The ranking data on the page runs through October 20, 2026, so review the docs and pricing for each provider you plan to call.

What works well

  • +One integration reaches 1,700 tools and APIs, so an agent does not need separate sign-ups for each provider.
  • +Four ways to connect: a Skill, the remote MCP server, the CLI and an API.
  • +The home page states there are no subscriptions and zero markup.
  • +Open source, with a route for tool providers to contribute their tools.
  • +How-to guides show the price of each job, such as $0.05 for a company brief.
  • +The rankings page explains how tools are counted, with completed calls as the measure.

What to watch out for

  • −Some tool pages show no endpoints yet, with the catalog said to grow weekly.
  • −Rankings reflect only traffic routed through Monid, not calls made directly to a provider.
  • −Prices are shown in dollars, and new accounts start with $1.00 of credit.

Best suited for: Teams building AI agents that need web search, scraping and company or contact data behind one integration.
