# AgentKey

> AgentKey is a unified MCP (Model Context Protocol) server and API
> gateway that gives AI agents — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and
> any MCP-compatible client — live access to web search, web scraping,
> social-media data (X, Reddit, YouTube, LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram),
> and on-chain / crypto data. One install, one credit balance, automatic
> provider failover, pay-as-you-go pricing.

to your agent" workflow with a single key. Built by Chainbase for solo
developers and small AI startups (the "research agent" persona).

## How to use this file

This is an [llms.txt](https://llmstxt.org) — a structured pointer for
LLM-driven crawlers (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc.) that prefers
small, well-curated content over raw HTML. The canonical product
description lives on the home page (rendered HTML + JSON-LD); this
file is a fast-path index.
